Having grown up with Game Boys and cartoons 24 hours a day, showing him something Cricket stores near me new was difficult; he thought knew everything there was to casting a bait 30 feet out into the water.
He cast and the bait with bobber flew about 10 feet straight up into the air and landed in the boat. No problem! On the next cast the cricket only sailed 3 feet from the boat. He was getting impatient. By now he was more attentive and after I explained how the reel worked, he began to improve upon his casting. I let him practice casting the bait off the side of the boat that was not near the bream beds.

He could say nothing to me at that moment and his eyes betrayed him to say anything at all. Finding a little space within him, he spoke: "O don't be sorry Albert, if you have to leave then maybe you will one day and one has to take such hard decisions in life that are sad enough to deal with in the first place, but... " He couldn't complete his sentence and my heart choked and I asked myself: what am I doing? His parting words were premonitory... (He gave me an alias name Albert at the workplace and calls me by that name ever since.)
It was always reassuring to see Andy every day while in office; he was such a nice person and a true friend one can infinitely be proud of. We talked and talked so much, shared jokes, or simply hung around the lush Wipro campus. He liked smoking, so I once gifted him a pack of Gold Flake cigarettes during... less

To begin, extremely hot weather can be detrimental to all cricket gear. Be careful not to use cheap cricket balls with your higher quality cricket bats. Always store your bat in a cool, dry place, away from moisture. Do not over-oil your bat. And if it happens to get wet, always dry immediately. Also, one should always keep the bat in as close to its original condition as possible. If it is used often, keep it well-oiled, about every three weeks.
Another common practice in cricket is the facing of your cricket bat. Facing is described as a thin, polyurethane sheet placed on the sides, edges and the face. Facing is always under discussion as some find it essential to the life of your bat and others feel it can be harmful to your bat. Some manufacturers feel it protects those areas and other think it affects ping and weight of the bat. The good news is that the material... less
