Cricket: Corinthians v Rashmis

A great community event took place on the morning of 7 February.  Families were having picnics, kids were playing games and dogs were chasing balls.  In the middle of this scene were 22 men -11 representing Rashmis Boys Cricket Club, 11 representing the multinational Corinthians Cricket Club.  The occasion?  Cricket.

For those of you who are new to the game of cricket, it comprises a bat, a ball, 6 long stick (stumps) and 4 small sticks (bails).  Moreover, the game entails sandwiches, samosas and papaya salad, if one is that way inclined.  It’s a game that can take anywhere between a few hours to a few days. To win the game you must score more 'runs' than your opponents.  To enjoy the game, you must relax, bring the kids, eat good food and bask in the early morning sunshine.  If this sounds like your idea of a good sport, then why not get involved with one of the teams, or keep checking these pages to find out when the next game is on. 

The game between Rashmis and Corinths was played in a similar fashion to most cricket games.  It was light hearted and fun, with the teams congratulating each other’s successes as the match progressed.  For those picnicking by the side, they witnessed exciting play from Rashmis, who batted ferociously and sent many a ball into orbit.  They also saw a valiant attempt from the Corinths to beat the score laid out.  To find out the victors, and more about this match, please click the picture below to download the full report.
