Eden Gardens, Kolkata

I liked this. In the distance, a vast cricket stadium. In the foreground, three makeshift stumps, a brick (a very short first slip, or an even sillier silly point) and a muddy pitch.

    I go to the maidans near Eden Gardens for jogging. I captured some shots of the stadium and children playing. I will send smaller version of those pics to you in this week.

    Cheers.

    the brick in question is neither a slip nor a silly point. its merely an indicator for the wide mark on the off side.

    I say off side merely because it is common practise,in india atleast, to measure the length of one full bat on the off side as the limit to which a ball can go without being called a wide while the leg side wide marker is put at the length of the bad blade only, minus the handle.

    Eden Gardens is certainly the best ground in India and one of the most beautiful cricket stadium on the globe
