Play Cricket in the street with the Kids
Like my New Zealand, India is a cricketing nation. I would even go as far as to say they are even more full on about it than us Kiwis. Street cricket games are omnipresent, if I can use that word.And joining one is easy. I always just go up and say Hi! And within minutes you have a bat in your hand or a ball. If you can spin the ball, bowl a googly or send down a steamer, you have reams of kids lining up to face you.If you can drive a steamer, the kids will be fighting to bowl you out. From seeing kids playing in India i see why guys like Tendulkar can drive the ball well - they grow up playing in narrow streets. They don't have the luxury of cuting and pulling shots like Kiwi Kids and Aussie Kids. For street Cricket - nothing.. Just a grin and a friendly disposition.To play in a cricket club you will need the whole shabang; Bat, Pads, Gloves, Helmet, Whites maybe even a ball.
