| CRICKET FEVER |
| Sunday, October 08, 2006 |
Rain played spoilsport to cricket for the 729396 th time in Chennai on Oct 4 on the occasion of the Challenger Trophy final between India Red and India Blue.Harish and I rode all the way from Guindy to Chepauk only to find a long queue outside the 'B' stand,which happens to be the least expensive of all the stands at MAC.Not wanting to wait in long queues for a ticket costing Rs.75/-,we bought tickets in "black",paying an additional Rs.25.We were joined,later,by Aanand,Guru,Muthu,Kathir,Maravan,Prathap,J V and Prabu.
 It was a fantastic crowd(atleast in the B stand) and the good weather seemed to complement it.Sachin was welcomed with a huge roar only to be dismissed by Zaheer Khan for a duck.Then there were entertaining innings from Sehwag,Dravid and Yuvraj till 5 pm when it began pouring.Then came the covers.
It was then announced at around 6:45pm that the pitch would be inspected at 6:50.The two umpires walked all the way from the pavilion to the pitch only to be confronted by a second shower.At last it became clear that the match would not resume.All that we could manage in the end was a photo session. |
