Ah my Golu, past compare
Singaraju D Prasad, the up and coming all-rounder from Gultland, has made a promising start to the US inter-university cricket season. He started with a strong bowling performance last week when he was 'on a hat-trick' and yesterday, on the rainy pitches of Baltimore, he made firmer the case for his inclusion into the USA World Cup squad.
The match started badly for him when he dropped a catch in the first over. When this reporter contacted him about his rare mistake, Prasad said, "I was like abt 10 feet away and m** ** **** he hit the fast ball straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight to my hands. It is still hurting. My hand became red." But that was not the end of his woes.
After the Jamaican team got of to a smashing start, Prasad was given the ball. According to Prasad the first ball he bowled was "f***ed so peacefully even though it was an ok ball". He followed that up with "2 good balls and after that they f***ed" him "again". 16 runs in the over meant that Prasad was not given a bowl for the rest of the innings.
However, Prasad re-affirmed the faith of all those who think of him as a true thinking cricketer. Prasad is rather intellectual and when he is not on the pitch he spends his time doing research to save the world - pixel by pixel. Chasing a score of 163, Prasad's team had reached 160 for the loss of 8 wickets. The 9th wicket fell in dubious circumstances and Prasad had to come out with 3 runs left to win. It was then that a slight drizzle started on the field. The crowd was on their feet expecting a nail-biting finish, when Prasad put on his thinking helmet and walked out to bat. It was then that it struck him. A couple of quick mental calculations and he strode up to the umpire and firmly said, "I cannot bat in this rain". 6 foot 6 members of the opposition came up confused and when they realised what was going on went ballistic. As Prasad recalls of the situation - "Whammmboooo, I thought I would die off there only". However, the umpires had to accede and Prasad won the day on run rate.
And to think that this bright mind is being wasted doing a Ph.D, slogging his behind off so that some professor in JHU can get tenure. Ah, such is life.
