Its all in the game!

Three little boys playing cricket. Average age : 4.

Ball is soft, yellow and has a smiley face on it. Bats - neon green and pink.

We were ready.

Batsman stands like Bheema holding his mace. Obviously misses the ball.

Bawls

Bowler bowls to the batsman and in some science defying angle, the ball bounces back and socks the bowler in the eye.

More Bawling

The bowler bowls to the batsman. The ball moves so slowly towards the batsman that the fielder decides he has had enough. He actually fields the ball BEFORE it reaches the batsman

Some more bawling

The batsman is told to LOOK at the ball. He does exactly that, eyes popping out, and doesn't even attempt to hit it. When asked why...

Even more bawling

Batsman misses the ball and reacts by throwing the bat at the bowler

The fielder joins in with a nicely aimed throw.

Spectator is torn between laughing and well...laughing some more. No way was i going to break this up!!


Be strong Chennai Kings...i dont see heirs for a really long time ;)

roopa and ganga : :) :)

justpathe and roopa: unfortunately, i didnt expect this event to be so entertaining. Anyway its practically impossible to videotape just about everything. The kids usually stop what they are doing and start posing once they see the camera!

kk : hi! Being with kids IS fun...but usually only for short intervals..trust me :)
