Indoor Cricket January - March 2000

 

Indoor cricket was played at Ft. Collins, at O.D's Sports Crossing. Two teams were formed for the indoor cricket season. The two teams were:

Team Kurta Team Pyjama
Gopal Susarla Arun Tholudur
Mark Spoo Parveen Gupta
Sam George Anand Pandurangan
Rajesh Joshi Mike Riley
Phani Bollavaram Anshuman Boonapalli
Raj Rajagopal Shashank Shekhar
  Siddhartha

The games were played from January 23 thru March 12, 2000. The rules for indoor cricket are roughly based on the rules for Australian Indoor Cricket. This version of cricket is fast-paced, fun and exciting. The batting team sends players in pairs, who play out a predetermined number of overs, whether they get out or not. Every time a batsman is out, 5 runs are deducted from the batting team's total. From the bowling team, every player must bowl at least one over. There are some interesting twists from regular cricket. For example, a batsman can be caught if the ball rebounds off the side walls. To sum it up - it was a lot of fun!
