Re: [nukkad] The Devil's advocate

About the only sport I competed in was 'pick paise' - which consisted
of running a distance, blowing wheat flour with mouth only and finding
a single coin within it, grabbing it with mouth and returning.
Needless to say, I came in last.

Then there was the unofficial cricket match (with season ball) I
played in - as the wicket keeper - no less! The opposing team batted
first and their highest score was some 12 or so. Mr. Extras was 40+
(mostly byes and leg byes) and their total was < 100. When we batted,
we scored enough runs to beat them - had we not had Mr. Extras to
contend with.

With that, my sporting interests came to an end - except for a brief
encounter with tennis for about 3 months in 1986, when I tried to
learn tennis.
