Bittersweet rain..

I wrote about the rain a couple of posts ago. That was an unequivocally pleasant experience. I'm not very sure it was the same this last weekend though. We bowled out the opposition (Greenville Hurricanes) for a mere 106 in a 35-over game.

We set out well chasing what seemed to be an easy target. We made 50 or so without much loss. And then it rained. Fifteen minutes, that's all. It destroyed the ground. The bowler's run-ups on either ends resembled Lake Jordan. It rained that heavy. It looked like a wet t-shirt contest, only with 22 clearly unfit guys though :p

It was fun getting drenched and then shivering in the cool breeze, but for company we also had the sinking feeling of having lost out on a chance to earn a hard-earned victory. We almost felt like the Kolkata Knight Riders team, only still poor.

Well... c'est la vie.
