It was pure fun! The fresh smell of leather and the dirty smell of the kit bag. One year since my senses experienced those!
Last three weeks of nets practice has brought in new team buddies and a new angle to RnW. It looks to be a confident, talented and i must say energetic unit but i must also be candid in accepting that this team lacks the match experience. The matches could throw open a player and strip him apart, as i have found myself in that position many a times. It tests the confidence of the player. We could no more get away with that wide delivery, cannot play a single rash shot which frequently happen during Nets. We will have to bowl that extra delivery in the over and that one rash shot will cost your wicket and the day. Imagine the morale of the fielder in that scorching heat, if a 8 ball over is bowled or if 20 runs are plundered in a over. Its very easy to get 11 drooping shoulders. These are the times to watch out for!
Looking ahead for a match with this new energetic team!

Awesome stuff Anba. Am missing those 23 steps :(
How've you been otherwise?
Hello Deepak, all is fine with me. We are really getting along well at RnW. Infact it has been a year since most of us touched the bat. Do join us if you drop in here. I hope all is good with you too!
