In India cricket is a popular sport, it is also popular sport in other countries like England, Australia etc, first cricket match was played in Australia in 1877, to play this game it should have two teams just like other sport, each team have to have 11 players and 1 extra for substitute, it is very similar to baseball.
There was a ground in my neighborhood where we played mostly every weekend, we have a game with other teams some time on our home ground and some time on their ground, it was always exciting for me to play these games because I love playing cricket.
On one weekend we have triangle game with two other teams, that was final game for us, my team bat first and score decent runs. Now it’s other team to chase runes. Finally game come to final over they have to score eight runs in last over (six balls) which is not that tough for the bats men to finish this game, my captain was motivating us we can win this let’s do it.
The first ball of the final over I was fielding on point area, bowler start run-up I was thinking he will bold bats men, but the ball was very good bats men totally miss ball was straight to the wicket keeper,no run, good length just outside off stump, its five balls and eight runs for them now.
The Second ball he pitch right in front of bats men and he hit straight four just top of long off, I was thinking if I was there to field I could have catch the ball, it was clear on the faces of all fielders we will loose the game.
Third ball was with extra pace from bowler, it was over pitch and due to the pace bats men could not able to defend, and he got out, now we have little hope to win this game, now three balls and four runs.
Fourth ball for the new bats men, no run, fullish length outside off, now two balls and four runs.
Fifth ball, 1 run, a bit too straight this time and batsmen tucks the ball behind square and scores his first run. Now every one in my thinks we maid it, One ball and three runs.
Sixth ball, out side off stump and this bats men was very good to his off side, he hit ball just beside me, I try hard and strech my hand to stop but, I cannot stop ball went towards four runs and we lost that match....
