Making the First Move....A Little Late !

   Hitting the iron when its hot and hitting the hot girl ,are different ball games.The first one requires a straight forward method while the second requires a little more finesse as exhibited by wrist work when batting. Many a bats-MEN have been enticed into offering a shot to those 'Spinning Ones' who make you go round about them.  See the ball but don't hit it .I know its tempting but wait till the moment when the keeper and slip fielders become relaxed and then cheekily playing your stroke. Its been a foolproof strategy, the catch lies in the fielder leaving it to the destiny of wicket-keeper’s gloves and this is your little window of opportunity, when you must jump inside stealthily and sweep the heart away.Though it might sound stealing and not gentlemanly sport in any way,knowingly and unknowingly we use similar strategy in our lives where sometimes the purpose of a blog might just be an indicator to a previous one.Now, that i have directed you to what you might have missed, concentrate on this one, the Archives are not going anywhere.

   Taking a bold step up and meeting the ball at its pitch,is an audacious act and might compel the bowler to bowl negative line and the bats-MEN would not like that to happen. Many legends and a good friend of mine used to leave the bowl when its beyond your reach and thus invited the bowler to bowl up. Its a different matter that my friend used to get clean bowled in the process, most of the times. In the process you might lose a few precious deliveries but see the bigger picture here. For those of you who might think cricket is too T-20 and leaves no scope for mind games,let me tell you its still 120 deliveries.

 If I may digress from digression and come back to where I began. To hit or not depends on the how well you read the ball and it does not matter whether you MOVE (footwork) or not if you have the knack to connect it right. Nevertheless, the significance of 'Making a Move' cannot be dismissed for a lad like me who is debuting. Different strokes for different people and I will go the Dravid way. Its honourable to score a freind in the process than being declared a JERK !!
