Last week, I went to see a cricket match between Indian and Pakistan. There was a great rush. The Pakistani team won the toss and decided to bat.
The first few overs of the match were quite uneventful, as both the Pakistan batsmen were playing defensively. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the excitement. The long awaited excitement came at last, when one of the openers was bowled out. The next player was caught out as soon a he tried to score. Even the next four men played out very quickly -two were bowled out and the other two were caught out. However, their captain made a stand with the help of his other team mates, but unfortunately they went down one after another.
The Indian supporters started dancing whenever any Pakistani player was out. The Pakistani supporters could not take it and displayed violent emotions. They began to shout anti-Indian slogans. Some of them even threw stones and plastic bottles on the Indian fielders standing near the fence. It took minutes for the entire stadium to transform into a battle ground. The scene was so horrendous that people who did not want to indulge in this fight were pushed to take sides.
AnswerCricket has become the most
popular game now days. People
are so fond of it that they glue to
their transistors or television
whenever the cricket match is
played. Sometimes it appears as if
the entire machinery of the
government has come to at
standstill and people are
concentrating as to the
performance of the cricket.
I, too take great interest in cricket
and never miss a chance to watch
it on the television. But I always
cherished a dream to visit a
stadium and see the match being
the part of spectators. Last
Saturday I got such an opportunity.
There was a friendly match
between A.V.M. School D.A.V.
schools at J.L. Stadium Delhi..
The match started at 10 a.m.
Masers Pathan and Sidhhu were
the Umpires. The toss was held. The captain of A.V.M. school won it. He decided to bat first. Hence, the players of D.A.V. School took their positions in the field. The batting began with the two good openers of the team named Rajiv and Prabhat. They had to face the bowling of Karmveer and Rajat.
The opening batsman made a good start, and within half an hour they scored forty runs in partnership. But soon Rajiv bad to back to pavilion as he could not face the strong and sharp bowling of Karmveer. In next few minutes Prabhat was so caught in the slips.
The batsmen who followed them seemed very experienced, a, Played a steady game. As a result started making fours sixes one after another. The bowlers tried their best to and dismiss the players. They kept good length and line of the ball. But they could not take the situation in their grip. The batsman remained at the crease till they scored 150 runs. Meanwhile the bowlers were changed.
The new bowler named Ankit
proved great disaster for the A.V.M.. School team. With his second BAL' he took one of the batsman by surprise, and before he (batsman) could strike the ball it had clean struck one of the stumps. The next wicket also fell quickly. Now the bowlers had a good chance. They could not let their opponents stand against their hard hitting balls. They proved themselves too strong for the batsman. The seventh batsman seemed to be in good form but he too could not add much to the score. And finally the
A.V.M. School team was all out by
lunch hour. The score stood at 205.
After lunch hour the second
innings started. The opening pair was at 29 when one of them was caught in the slips. Karan filled up vacancy and made six fours. He was raising the score steadily when his partner went forward to hit a slow ball. Soon he lost his balance. and he was stumped by the wicket keeper. The next player remained very successful. Very soon he raised the score up to 100.
Abhisheck and Raman contributed
a lot and the score increased
rapidly. Abhisheck played veiy
nicely. He remained on the crease:
for full two hours and he scored a
century. When the game came to
an end, the D.A.V. School team had
fulfilled the target of 206 runs by
the loss of seven wickets, thus
winning by 3 wickets. Abhishek v
