Cricket match in Sweden

21st May 2006

With football mania conitnuing to exist, we also decided that we shall play some cricket too. Ideas are enough for us to start working on it. Quickly we found some log of wood, got some tools, made the cricket bats (thx to praveen), customised wickets, collated people (including swedes) and started playing cricket on a nice sunday afternoon.

Both teams consisted of 6 players each, we played 2 matches with 8 overs per team, result was a draw 1-1. The players are listed as below:
Team A:
Guru
Praveen Mayakar
Kristoffer Johansson
Jessica
Rathna Shastry
Arshad

Team B:
Praveen CM
Shyam
Hemanth
Sakol
Stefan Lang
Mitesh Modi

All in all, we had nice fun teaching ,learning and playing cricket!
