Six-a-side

I think i will write this blog the way Suneel writes it :)...

I slept zzzzzzz...at 10:30 pm on friday night as i had to go to Columbus to play a six-a-side tournament on saturday...just when i was having the most comfortable sleep Hari called at 12:30 in the night grrrrrr..to tell me that we will be leaving Akron at 8:15 am..

So come saturday morning, after the usual 20-30 min delays, we were off to Columbus in three cars...Hemant (Hemant, Avinash, Rahul and Bhavin), Sunny (Sunny, Myself, Hari and Manpreet) and Dinu (Dinu, Raghav, Sreedhar and Kiran)drove..

Once we reached the ground, there was a party atmosphere with lotsa people and lotsa cricket and great weather greeting us..yippeee...

Akron 1 and Akron 2 both lost the first games narrowly when both the teams deserved to win...After a very disappointing first game we were off to lunch...$5 for very less food is not the idea of a perfect lunch but since beggars cant be choosers...we ate what was offered to us...We got the news prior to lunch that we wont be going thro' to the next round as in the pool of 3 one team had already won 2 games so all that was left for us was pride to play for..and we (both teams) did win the other 2 games in style...

Giving the scorecards of the 4 games Akron 1 & 2 played..

Game 1: Akron 2 vs Opponents Akron 2 - 58 in 5 overs...Opponents - 59 in 4 something overs
Game 2: Akron 1 vs Opponents Opponents - 54 in 5 overs...Akron 1 - 52 in 5 overs
Game 3: Akron 2 vs Opponents Opponents - 42 in 5 overs...Akron 2 - 47 in 4 something overs
Game 4: Akron 1 vs Opponents Opponents - 60 in 5 overs...Akron 1 - 61 in 4.5 overs

Hari, Avinash and Bhavin hit some huge sixes which could be described in one word only WHOOSHHHH

In short, it was a good ending although it could have been better had one of the teams gone thro to the next stage..Came back home at 6:15 pm..and dozed off zzzzzzzzz from 6:45 pm to 7:45 am ...13 hours straight awwwwwwww

One more thing, to write blogs the way Suneel does takes a lot of effort, which i just now realized..:)
