Vignette:
Tenby International School (TISS) commenced with the friendly-cricket match between teachers and students on April 3. The game was executed utterly at the Sports Hall. Although, the game was epic, unpredictable and volatile at point of times, it was proven as a worthy proficiency that both skills and perseverance shall not be forgotten.
Background:
The weather was clement and beyond satisfactory. However, it never did matter as the game was held in the sports hall. It was an unspoiled afternoon. There were several teams there, each made up of 5 students and 1 teacher. The captain was a jolly fellow (teacher of course). The captain on the other side gave us a hearty reception led by our bestowed, keen and steadfast coach, Mr. Baz. Fortunately for me, it was the sheer stroke of luck that I was placed in energetic and vigorous team led by our esteem captain Mr. John. It was honor to be in such team. He led our team to the field.
There, the other team umpire, Karthik was waiting for us. A large crowd of students and onlookers had already assembled there to see the match. The toss was won by us and our captain elected to ball first. Overall, I have to say that we played extremely well and displayed an array of determination and agility towards and opponent that we encounter. We treated all of our opponents as significant impediments to our success. As a result of that, we toppled all other teams and arisen as a legend of Tenby. We had made it to the pinnacle as winners. Well, obviously, for the sake of impartial sportsmanship we had to make in clear that all teams still did well but as usual it is in the deep fabric of human nature that there can only be one winner for eternity. This was our moment. Overall, everyone did show a high level of understanding and self-esteem.
The scores were very close and therefore emotional to anyone who had a soul on the losing side would say, what a pity… We were invariably ‘’spineless’ unless our opponent had just won by a few more runs compared to us and would be more of an epic encounter. However, as the old saying, every cloud has a silver lining… Although, they lost with broken hearts, our desire and passion for cricket had never left us. It was a wonderful savoir-faire to play with our highly skill competitors especially Mr. Baz’s team. We never expected to win. We still had learned a seemingly unforgettable occurrence. This match was not just a match but also a motivation.
Spectacular Event of the Day…
The batting began. Our captain, the teacher and his best player went to open the first innings. The captain hit the ball with a hard stroke. The ball flew in the air. It soon crossed the boundary. We shout “Hurrah” “What a fine hit”. He played and played… As time flew we became restless, our eagerness to win was in fact very immense. He sent the ball beyond the boundary several times. At the end of the first match, we managed to topple our opponent score by a total of +6 points. At last he was caught. He scored quite a few runs. The opponents were glad at his downfall. Presently the second batsman entered the field.
At that instant, the game was getting more exciting and thrilling. He began to bat firmly and swiftly. He hit the ball with great force. He took three wickets in one over. Pair after pair went to bat. Our team was out for a satisfactory number of runs. Subsequently, the results were clearly shown that we were trailing behind our competitors and ended up an inch away from victory and that our supporters were fanatical. The teachers breathless, just watching how skillful our fine young athletics reign with terror on the fields. Teachers also did well, too well in fact… They basically got most of the students out and scored the most runs. They should the most unmatched mutiny ever and still gain respect from all students. Maybe that what the proverb, ‘Education is the mother of leadership’ meant. Masters are masters for eternity, they were not born but made and what you learn today will always be stay with you. They are indeed true cricket prodigies!
Recommendation:
Although the event was successful, some suggestions arose which should be kept in mind for any future, similar activities. One of the key recommendations is:
– It is important that an exact and precise strategy is made before the game and sometimes improvisation. This can increase our chance for winning during future matches.
– Concentrate more on the balling part as that is the part where we can lower our opponents score.
