The bad times are inevitable parts of our life and
they really come with the purpose which is to start a new life again. As
mentioned in my previous post – My
look up story relates to playing Cricket during my school days,
I would like to mention my bad times in my sporting life. In my early school
days, I used to play horrible cricket and I was a total rookie till I
rediscovered on how to improve the performance in any game that we play. I used
to watch TV programs and one day I saw a reality TV show which was based on
finding the cricketing talent in India. The show was focused on the blooming
cricketers and this show was about sending only one youngster to play for the
county cricket club team of England.
I don’t remember exactly but I think that the name
of the reality TV show was “Cricketing star talent hunt” and Robin Singh was
the host of that show. This show was being telecast on national channel – DD1. I
saw almost every episode and found the tips on how to improve performance in
the game of cricket. In this way, I found my own bad tactics of playing the
game and it was a real experience on how one could improve on their own merely by
watching the reality TV show. One thing I noticed from this TV show was that
many contestants in this show were either good studying candidates or part-time
workers. It was amazing to know that the contestants for this show were studying
as well as earning to live up their sporting life.
By watching this TV show, I improved my performance
in all the areas of cricket game like bowling, fielding and batting. I found
that the running exercise was the vital part for playing good cricket. Now it
was the time for me to apply in the local cricket club and start living a
sporting life. I went for the selection test and to my surprise; I had to bowl
to a batsman which was left handed. It was really a bad time in my cricketing
life as I had never ever bowled to this type of batsman. I tried to bowl best
of the bowling attack that I had practised but eventually every ball that I
bowled was invalid and this gave an impression to the selector that I am still
a rookie in the game of cricket.
