Terrace Cricket - Part 1

 

"Aadhavaaa..   compound la pattu veliya ponalum out dhaanda.... "

"Kaal la patta dhan -2 runs, thighs la patta la kidayadhu... "

"Dei one pitch one hand dhan out.. nee un body oda pudicha la out kidayadhu.... "

"Pochu irundha oru ball um veliya adichittiyaa.. "

"Appa idhu dead ball la illa.. idhan grubber...  "

"idhuku dhanda chinna pasanga kooda la vilayada koodadhu... " 

These are our usual snippets from our 'Terrace cricket' scenes.. 

"Adadada..  eppa paarthalum sandai..  urupadiya vilayadave theriyadha... "   idhu ivalodadhu.. :) 

But actuala, naanga evlo intense a sandai podroma..  adutha nimishame..

  "Sari edhachum snacks irundha edu thimbom.." nu normal aagiduvom.. 

sometimes avala verupethave summa sandai potutute veetukulla varuvom.. 

Before we get into the actual story, inga character setting and scene setup is very important to get the feel,
