Hi everyone on PC I wanted to start a new story about an Associate Cricketer from Canada and his journey to the Canadian national team and beyond. At this I would like to state that I might not be the most grammatically correct person on PC but I will still try and make an interesting story.
Chapter 1 TDCA Elite Divison final intoduction
It's been a long time since the days I first picked up a bat. No longer am I hitting a cricket ball against the garage door and getting perplexed looks from my neighbours. I am now playing in the elite divison finals. The drive up to the Toronto Cricket Club was a short one it is right next to my house . It is a beautiful ground . My team Vikings was playing against the Ontario Cricket Academy in the finals. It was a beautiful sunny day as my dad dropped me off at the clubhouse. He then proceeded to the stands wishing me good luck. I then proceeded to the dressing room I was sweating in my suit plus I felt more comfortable in my whites. Some of my teamates were already there, we knew each other pretty well. In times past players like Sachin Tendulakr, Sourav Ganguly, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis sat on these benches. Now were seated players like Abraash and Arsalan Khan. Players I played against in the age group levels and also teamates from clubs I used to play for. Like Devon and Adam I had known them from our days playing for Superstars Sports Club I knew them since the age of 8. I sighed remembering that I was playing serious cricket know. Abraash the captain had played for Canada in all age levels since under 13. He made a quick speech before the star of play. " Ok guys we made this far and we will go all the way, Devon we need you to bowl outside off constantly they cant play well there, Rohan we need you to keep the runs down from your end and then Adam and I will go for the Kill; rest of you guys field sharply we dont want anything going down." Davis the OCA captain won the toss and elected to bat first. As with most wickets in Canada the bounce is even and the pitches are slow because the ground is frozen 7 months of the year. As we where playing in the elite divison we had a good mix of youth and experience. We had 5 under-19 Canadian cricketers, 3 former Canadian internationals, 3 local players and then me I was only 18 years old and playing in the Elite finals. We set out on to the field the OCA openers strided to the middle , the umpires where out and so was our team. I was fielding at backwards point. Devon charged in with the first delivery the batsman shouldered arms. The next ball started on middle and moved off the seam to off the batsman cut hard at it . My eyes lit up, if I took it it would be a blinder. I dove full stretch and............ to be continued in the next part
