woke up...fairly late on saturday...I was home...and ofcorse I was feeling real lazy...turned the TV on...too lazy to even see what DVD was on...simply turned it on...it was season 9...disc 3 of ELR !!!
my bro has taken a liking to ELR and I believe it is his second cycle of the entire series...I watched a couple of episodes and as is always the case with all the mothers in this whole world...got a nice little lecture on brushing my teeth !! and so...I was forced to move my posterior...finally !!
coffee...bath...lunch...and I was all set for the remainder of the episodes of ELR season 9...and I dont know why I asked ma...where he was...but I did...she told me that he had a cricket match and was playing...my bro has been playing cricket from since he was 13...and there was a time I watched most every game he played...and honestly...I forgot when I watched him play last...so I decided that was the plan...
reached the stadium at around 3...and I couldnt believe I couldnt figure out which team was playing and I simply couldnt spot my brother...then after a while I did...by that time I came to know my brother's team was bowling and he had done his job extremely well...three wickets in a single over...and he was given the ball again...over one maiden...over two maiden...over three another wicket...that made it four wickets in this innings for him...over four...he got the batsman out...and started to celebrate with the rest of his team on getting his fifth wicket...but the batsman didnt walk...and the umpire didnt give him out...he walked back obviously dejected...came into bowl the next ball...it was a fast bouncer which nearly took the batsman's face off !!! man...aggression !!
he is a talented fast bowler...but well...I am not too sure if talent alone can get you places these days...unfortunately for my bro...he is just...my bro...!!!
I dont really pray or hope for things...but I cant help myself...I really do hope and pray he gets whatever he wants out of his cricket...because I know he is really good...and more importantly...he works real hard...I mean...can you imagine...running in and bowling in the hot and humid conditions of madras...I know I couldnt bowl a single over without just falling flat on my back !! He bowled 18 overs that day for his four wickets and felt bad about not being able to get his fifth !!
am really proud of him...his committment...his drive...his bouncer that took that almost took that guy's head off !!
