Share your own cricket experience.

Not the one about your travel and watching cricket at a stadium in your hometown or in any other place but the actual experiences of your’s in cricket fields. Be in domestic or in `International’ :smiley:

The last time I hit a 50+ runs was inApril/ May1992.

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

ALLLL right…er…
this is actually a good way to gloat about our own cricket…:d:D

4 wkts in 1 over in a tournament in Karachi back in 1993 is my most memorable :smokin:

a catch down near the boundary (kind of the deep long on position) in a night match on a dark semi lit grass field that won the match for our team :champ: back in 1995

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

^Thats cool :k: :slight_smile:

**I have not scored 25+ runs since 1992 :frowning: **

I** was hit for six consecutive sixes in 2004**

I had one catch and a run out to win our team and make way to the finals in 1996 in a local tournament… I had scored 1 run in that match :smiley:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

it's been a long time since i played this sport...i used to play cricket with my father when i was little and later on with friends...last time it was in my high school, i always preferred batting.

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

Seems like u should be the fielding coach :hmmm: :smiley:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

nice thread…some good memories…

  1. With 6 runs needed off 3 balls, I was the last man in…a newbiew @ the school, fresh from abroad (UAE) in pak, and not having played any hard-ball cricket ever (but had enough experience with tape-ball cricket :hehe:) no one expected much…the match was between our class (cambridge I) and grade 9…our class only had 11 students, so they had no choice but to include me in the match :smiley: I hit a 4 on the first ball that I faced, and that took everyone by surprise, including myself :hehe: the next ball, I got the 2 runs and our team won…

  2. I was moved up the order for the next game…and over the next few games, based on my run-a-ball strike rate and a 25+ runs average, i was promoted up as an opener for the class team for the rest of the year, where I continued to do well…

  3. My first catch ever in a proper match again was also the same year…it was the same kind as shahid afridi’s running catch in 2009 VS New Zealand :smiley: everyone told me it was great catch at that time, but I didn’t realize myself that it was a hard thing to do…saw the ball sailing through the air, knew it wouldn’t get to the boundary, thought I could catch it, and ran after it as fast as I could…simple as that :stuck_out_tongue:

That was a good year…not outstanding, but we won more matches than we lost, which is all that mattered…we were no push overs…our class could hold up on our own against other classes, with more students and better teams :smiley:

more later :slight_smile:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

Arlo You Should Have Played For Indian Team :omg:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

^Women Cricket. :D

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

:D…not only that, I used to be a huge fan. I made a big scrapbook with pics collecting from newspapers and magazines of all the cricketers from all the teams who played 96’s worldcup.

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

MASHALLAH!!!! I watched the 96 final in Gadaffi stadium. Do you still follow it with the same passion.

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

Really? The quarter final was really disappointing though. I left it completely after 98. I believe there’s not much left in cricket except the scandals of course. :rolleyes:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

I played till my 12th Grade. Probably 1-2 matches here n there after 12th too.

I always preffered batting too :smiley: but I was not very good at it. Hardly made any 40-50 :frowning: . I was not good in bowling either :bummer: I was just average at playing it. But yes my fielding was very good coz i was very quick n fast runner plus a good catcher. :smiley:

I remember many of the matches we couldnt play till end , rather stopped in middle of the game, throwing our bats on the ground and shouting at each other RONDHI team, RONDHI … RONDHI … :omg: omg i m using this word RONDH after such a long long time :hehe:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

SL winning it was good. More than the match the organisation at the ground left a lot to be desired. A funny thing happened when I came to watch the final. I flew in from Dubai. On the same flight the Indian delegation also flew in and amongst othere there was Kapil Dev and Nawab of pautaudi. When we got off the plane I was walking with them and the customs and immigration officers thought I was part of the Indian delegation and so they gave me all the VIP treatment and I was out of the airport in no time. :smiley:

Re: Share your own cricket experience.

That’s hilarious. :omg:

Yeah Srilanka played well. I was talking about the match between India and Pakistan in quarter finals.
