Editor,
Much has been written about DIV I and Div II through the season. I have not read a single post on Div 3 (30/30)...I play for Rockers CC. We have been a part of MCC for 4 years and have had a very dismal 3 years. This year we have made it to the finals after defeating all odds. A player from our team (Varun Parekh) has written a poem on our game against the Spears on 10/1 at Heritage Park. It would be a good start for Div 3 and a huge confidence booster for the Rockers who have seen a lot a adversity in the past 4 years if this poem is published.
Thanks
Mitral
Inspired by the amazing true story of the Rockers. That showed just what a little fire, determination and planning can do...
Stars Cant Shine All The Time
On one cold Sunday morning at Heritage Park
Gather the Rockers early that day
Nervous but happy, scared but charged
We were fired up to play
Satya wins the toss and makes a bold move
On seeing the damp outfield and wicket
To take a chance and give the Spears
First bat in semi-final cricket
We bowled with fire, with zest, with pride
With unerring length and line
We proved today my fellow men
That stars cant shine all the time
Mithul and Varun started things off
Unsettling the batsmen's groove
Rehman and Vamsi then paved the way
Like men with points to prove
We skittle a team that has tormented us
The team that beat us two straight this year
We roll them over, stars and all
Is a Rokers win really near?
In strolled Asif and Mitral
Who cut, pulled and 'straight drove' their way
To a resounding victory in record time
We really Rocked it that day
And now with just a single game
Separating us from ultimate glory
To the final lets march as men
Lets cap off this perfect story!
Hats off to Satya, Remmy, Asif and Vamsi. You guys made this happen!
Lets do this all over again!
Varun

A Note from the Editor: It is true that we have not written much about Div 3, Night Cricket etc. But that is only because we have not had anyone sending in anything about those divisions. This blog is a volunteer supported project and we depend on the volunteers to help program the site. While we have a lot of activity on the Discussion Board ( comments) for some reason we don't have too many people sending articles, videos etc. The editors ( Jaggi and Hari) review everything that comes in and if it is publishable ( we use our discretion to make that judgement ), we post it. Essentially what we are saying is that the ball is in your court - you can take the lead in spotlighting top performers in Div 3, Night Tournament etc as well as cover the matches, provide previews etc. This is how you can contribute to the blog.

Nice poem Varun, great job.
Mitral, your problem is easy to solve...just tell us who acts like Jack Ass in Div 3...and you will be overwhelmed with our response :)
Given the state of affairs this week on this blog, that's a quick way to seek attention!
We are waiting...
Varun, excellent poem dude.
Div-30/30 is definitely new to most of us. Like Hari said, people from div-30/30 need to take the initiative and let us know about the players and the games.
We wish the finalists the very best. I also urge all the div-30/30 teams that played the semifinals to enter their scores, so that the website can be updated.
Also, dont forget to take some pics and send it to us.
