    University Fields

    There are playing fields at Mumbai University where kites are flown and cricket is played. As an American, I find cricket to be an odd sport distantly related to baseball, except that the pitch bounces and there appear to be two home plates. I do know that the Indians are crazy about this sport which also resembles American baseball in that games are long enough to require food and drink for both players and spectators. At Mumbai University students play cricket with the colonial style university buildings looming in the background.

    As I was walking along Marine Drive, I stumbled across this cricket game being played in one of the Gymkhanas that are located here. I spent quite some time here watching this game and saw some good shots played as well as some wickets taken. The word Gymkhana is derived from the Urdu and Hindi word for "racket court" and is originally referred to a place where sporting events take place as well as meeting places where contests were held to test the skill of competitors.

    The main cricket stadium, the Wankhede Stadium, is located near the Oval Maidan and you can watch the wannabies play here as they try and aspire to their national cricket team heroes . I watched a game for quite some time as it was entertaining but there's no seats here for you to sit on! You can also take in a game along Marine Drive at one of the Gymkhanas.
