Cricket

After watching so much cricket during the world cup, I finally got my chance to play. We didn't get to play a whole game but we did get some batting and bowling (pitching) practice in. I went through about 90% of batting practice holding the bat like I would a baseball bat. This, it turns out, isn't even close. You hold it actually closer to a golf club than a baseball bat. Either way, I had a blast! Bowling was especially fun because you have to bounce the ball before it gets to the batsman. I appreciated this because often when I pitch for softball it ends up bouncing and in cricket this is desired behaviour! Overall, I had a blast. The people in the office again showed their hospitality by putting up with a bunch of cricket newbies. I don't have any good pictures of us playing but I'm including my
favorite snap from the day. I've titled it, "How many people does it take to hold a phone?". The back story is that Vishal was holding wickets at the time and the other guys were just helping him out.
