Our galli cricket has now triggered a ISB-wide night cricket tournament. Apart from the funny rules, people are also organizing beers, music etc.
Our energetic captain Amit Goel responded to the RFP and put up a team together. The first match of the tournament was between our team and F2 team. We really had a bad start with our batting but then Jassi, Suhail and Puneet Arora played some excellent shots and we managed to put a decent score of 67 in 10 overs. Our bowling clicked much better and we restricted the opposition to 38. Sec E definitely rocks when it comes to any team event. Our team was there in time with all the eight players while the other team was searching for players and their captain was making frantic calls for players.
Sec E is also busy in writing testimonials for each other. Believe me each person in the section is a gem - Section E is truly the best. I would never forget the core terms and the fun we had. More fun follows in the next two days in the form of night cricket.

Galli Cricket at ISB
While BCCI and other market makers are busy in creating newer formats and newer teams to rake in more moolah, a small group of us decided to get back to the most played format of cricket in India - Tennis ball galli cricket. There is no moolah involved and the objective is only entertainment.
Rules are simple - if the ball crosses the boundary directly, it's not a six instead the batsmen is out. Similarly there are no runs behind the wicket and players from both sides field all the time. This unconventional format has so many grey areas that would lead to information asymmetry, agency problems and moral hazard in a corporate scenario but we have been able to overcome all those issues by simply eliminating all economics and having only social aspects in the game.
Key players in this format as of now are - Amit Goel, Anshuman Srivatsava, Puneet Sakhuja, Mukund Chari, Rao Korupolu, Nishant Rawat, Pinaki Sarkar, Kairoze Motishah and we are expecting to gather more support in the coming weeks. We have kept this private and wouldn't want to attract too much attention and maintain our monopoly over the ground and the fun. Cheers
