Dialogue between two cricket players after their team lose a match very narrowly
Answers
Player A- I can’t believe it… we lost the match!
Player B- I was more than sure that we would win.
Player A- We knew it was a good team we were playing against, but our team isn’t bad either.
Player B- No, our team is not bad at all. We have some really strong players. There’s Sumit, Randeep, Devender and the twins.
Player A- Well, these boys did put up a good score. 308 is considered good, even in international cricket.
Player B- Even the bowlers did a fantastic job. Sharma’s bowling was so accurate today. He got 3 wickets, but missed his hat-trick.
Player A- I think we were a little clumsy while fielding. We dropped 2 very important catches.
Player B- Yes, if Nalin had got the catch, Seth would have been walking back to the pavilion at 23.
Player A- It would have been a completely different game! He wouldn’t have scored a century and we could have easily won the match.
Player B- And then Niranjan dropped the second catch. You should have seen the captain’s face. He was furious!
Player A- It’s upsetting to lose a match that we thought was ours. I really wanted to bring the trophy home.
Player B- We had the skills, but ran a little out of luck. The timing was not too good.
Player A- Yes, you are right. It was an extremely close match. Any team could have won. We are feeling bad because we lost, but that’s okay. Someone had to lose. Everyone is feeling miserable about losing by 3 runs.
Player B- We’ll beat the Birla team at the next game. Coach said it was probably going to be a month later. So we have another month to practice and get ready to win.
Player A- I would love to see them lose!
Player B- Me too!
