Cricbay League : My Team - The Immortals

The Immortals... ??? Saturday.. ??? Sunday ...???
Just as the weekend starts kicking in from Friday morning, that's when all the immortals - the dudes from the grave start waking up with excitement ....
Their immortality suddenly shoots up like a stock price from Google....

What's all this fuss about ???

Well Yeh Hai CRICKET meri jaan !!!

Playing, Breathing and Sweating in Cricket is what the latest hype is all about on weekends for most of us here in the bay area (silicon valley) ...

Cricbay - The league
The Immortals - The Team
Saturday/Sunday - The Day

Come what may, whether its a tiring week, whether it has been a long lasting Friday night for some, or may it be some social responsibility for the dudes who are married/engaged .... But when someone utters a word called "cricket" .... Thats when all this above mentioned excuses take a back seat and then comes the very same players' in the drivers seat to charge their way into the field and tear apart any opposition ....

Its been almost over two months since we started playing cricket on a regular basis on weekends here in San Jose.... It has been a great fun filled experience , not only for the sake of the saying that "Cricket is our religion"...But also that it gives us one more "reason" to get-together, crack some wild jokes, have fun and ofcourse WIN !!!

The initial phase did start with some hiccups as most of us felt a bunch of lazy, belly growing, oldies when it came to waking early, playing for 4-5 hours ... But it took us only some weeks before every one was up and roused to play some great cricket in the league....There were miserable days when we lost games, tied a game - but most of these were practice matches...
touchwood it has been going great guns for us as of lately with The Immortals having played 5 games and having won 3 of them ...

At some point of time some of us did feel that is this the same old repetition of the "Master Blasters" who used to play in USC (University of Southern California) .... We did not have great memories playing in USC ... But we did prove it wrong this time .... Master Blasters in USC was only FUN...But The Immortals in the Silicon Valley is FUN+Desire to Win !!!

Such is the aura and greatness of our team that people come from Los Angeles and Chicago to come and play for our team ... LOL !!!

Having said all this, we still have a long way to go ... There are going to be a lot of matches and we need to play real good cricket to stay at the top amongst the 64 teams that are registered in the league ... Lets see how this turns out to be ....

Will keep everyone posted about the progress ....

Overall it has been a fun-filled memorable experience which I hope continues for a couple of more seasons ... (as who knows who would be getting old enough NOT to play for the next season...)....

(PS: Waiting for comments from the players who are playing in The Immortals and who might read this post ... LOL)
