Summer's here!

90 days of Summer....15 matches to fit in....Cricket is in the air.

My season starts on the coming weekend. Time to oil the bats (do they still do it nowadays?) and get ready to stand under the sun for 7 hours every weekend. If there is a Cricketing Viagra, I am a customer :)

Is it fun ? Yes...especially for someone who is to come out of retirement after 8 years ! The suspense is not if I can keep my inhibitions aside and play among people half my age, it is not the apprehension of whether I'd be able to perform...the suspense is in finding out for myself how much do I really like to play the game. 

My friend Praful asserts Pu La Deshpande's quote very often..."Cricket is more of a talker's and watcher's game than a player's one". 

We'll find out I'm still a player or just a talker after a sabbatical of 8 years :)

Would my artillery be enough you think ? From a statistical perspective I can use 0.666 of a different bat for every match in the season :)
