Galli cricket

We played cricket this week in the 3 foot wide corridor in our house. That too well past midnight! Playing cricket is always fun but it has been a long while since I played the box/galli version. Hitting any of the walls directly was out, as was a one bounce catch. Two consecutive body hits was out. We had a fielder in the restroom, one right behind the batsman and one in a khopcha near a room. Our bat was the box of a laptop keyboard. As you can imagine, scoring runs was very difficult, especially with the searing spinner that the track was. Therefore, a bat hit was a run. Crossing half pitch gave two runs while crossing the bowler gave a boundary. 5 runs made a half century. But it was fun and therefore, with it, we started the Sheetz Premier League cricket championship.

I welcome you all to join us in continuing the Sheetz premier league. You can enter your team by submitting the entry to any of us.
