Hi guys, hope you are all well. Today I am writing about cricket. I have been playing cricket since my childhood. it is hard to find a guy born in Bangladesh and never played cricket. We are cricket crazy nation. Our emotion love is connected with cricket.
Things are different in Europe. They love Football and Basketball more. The one thing different over there and here is. Whatever they do here , they do professionally. So, when a kid go to play Football , they go to a professional to learn the techniques and poses.
The journey of Serbian cricket started perhaps 15 years ago. I came here around 10 years ago because of my study purpose. So, I meet these people who play cricket and became a part of their team. We started training three days in indoor during winter time when the temperature goes below zero and summer time beside the lake. They have around 8 teams for Serbian cricket League and National team travels to Greece, Austria, Belgium and other European countries for different contests. I went to play the game for this years league few days ago and took some picture. I am not in any of the picture as I was behind the camera. There are people of different nations and ethnicity playing this league and you will have a nice time.
Here are some photos before the match. Some catching practice and a bit lazy time before the match.
The day started with a bit of rain but with time the rain go away and we were ready for the match. I forgot to mention, that here hey teach the kids who want to be a future cricketer. So, they are trying to popularize cricket here and improvements are happening for last couple of years. Good young batsman and bowlers are coming up.
Around 11 the match started. We batted first and it was really good condition for batting and we did really well although the outfield was slow but we adjusted well. The openers made good runs. So, later we didn't have to handle a lot of pressure. Here are some photos.
There is these dog hanging around the field. We won the match in the end, it was not that easy to field because of the warm sun. But anyways we managed win and then we went for some coca cola and foods.
So, that's it for today. If you come to Serbia and contact us, we can invite you to play with us.
