Bowled By a Cricket Hat

I had a favourite cricket hat wearing it always enhanced my batting, never did I forget to wear that as if it was the key of run getting, but one day something happened upsetting. I was batting that day so well and was heading towards a sure ton, I went for a hook and my hat fell directly on the stumps and I was gone, without picking it I headed for pavilion! **Hope most of you are familiar with the game of cricket which is like a religion in India © kashinath karmakar 2011 =========================== Placement:8th (April 2011) Contest:My favourite hat or bonnet Sponsor:Carol Brown By :kashinath karmakar (14th March 2011)

Kash, A few years ago I had the privilege of observing a game of cricket...thirty something men of Indian origin so respectfully playing this bizarre game at a local park. I was intrigued by their clothing and quiet respectful match. Your hat was NOT your helpful tool that day! Is a pavillion a score? Nice to place in this contest. Gwendolen

Hey there Kash you wrote about one of my favorite sports.. Sachin sure made our hearts beat a little faster on Saturday when he batted so well against our team ;) I really enjoyed this one, lovely witty write. Wishing you all the best for the contest ;)

Kash, it's because of my unfamiliarity with cricket and a few of the terms you used that I maybe don't get this 100 percent (like what do you mean, the hat fell on the stumps?) anyway, it's obvious the person just took off to win the game with the hat left in the dust, right? I think it is an enjoyable poem!
