The rain Gods had no mercy on us this past weekend…It’s been a frustrating time for most teams to get this season off on an exciting note due to the bad weather. Well, with all the optimism, I hoped that by the weekend it will all play out Ok and we will have an exciting weekend of Cricket. That was not the case to be and most games this weekend were rained out…except for a few that happened on Sunday.
The first thing I do every Monday morning is to check the weather channel and more often than not it’s not pleasant. An occasional rainfall, cloudy and thunderstorms are part of the mix ninety percent of the time. Starting then and up until the weekend I pray to the rain Gods to have mercy…because I have waited eight months to play cricket…
I have begin to realize that the cricket season has become a parcel of my life…and playing cricket has great impacts on my everyday life…but not being able to play has adverse effects too….The minute the truth hit me and all my optimism went out the door, I felt depressed and weak. That led to a fever and by the end of the day I ended up with high temperature helpless not knowing how I could make the weather better…
With so little time in a year to enjoy something we love so much, the best we all can do is to hope its going to be warm, sunny and bright this coming weekend and the rest of the season…

UCC travelled to Milwaukee to play their scheduled game on cloudy Sunday. We reached their at around 10am. Apparently the baseball players on saturday had pulled the covers off the pitch and hence part of the pitch was damp. Since it was not raining at the game time, umpire (Sadiq) stressed the Milwaukee players to prepare the pitch and the surrounding area for the game. Kudos to Milwaukee players who worked really hard along with help of UCC players and prepared the pitch. Game was reduced to 35 overs and began at 1:30pm.
MCC did everything right and UCC dropped couple of catches to loose a very exciting game.
Thanks to all Milwaukee Cricket Club players and Sadiq for exciting Sunday.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
Dude, Tylenol extra strength. Relax.
Glad that UCC and Milwaukee CC got some cricket action this past weekend and enjoyed it...
The only thing that will get me better is some cricket and hopefully will get some practice in the next couple of weeks and the long weekend...Tyenol will do no good for me :)
