Well it took 32 years but we won the battle of the saints and to cap things off we won the 50 over encounter last Saturday. Because of the big match win it was very hard to get ticked for the 50 over game and Oval was not large enough to support such a huge crowd. As we do every year this year also the 2002 A/L batch organized a package. The T-shirt printed for the occasion was very nice but 2k was a bit too much for the whole things , but I don't think people care that much since they get to meet after a long time.
There was a huge parade before the start to celebrate the big match victory. The parade was a great example of the power of Facebook , it started as a FB event with only few entries and all of a sudden it took off. There were more than 50 vehicles for the parade and it was a great site to see all those Peter's flags waving.
As usual it was great to see friends from school days. 50 over is almost the only time we ever get to meet nowadays which is why I hate to miss it and why I was so sad after missing it last time. There were trouble to get into the stands and because Oval was such a small ground there is always going to be crowd trouble. It was amusing to see some old guys trying to clear the people in the boundary line so they can watch the match in a relaxing manner. I felt sorry for them but unfortunately most just come to have some fun , watching the match is secondary.
The greatest moment of the day was when we hit the winning runs , the crowd ran into the ground waving the college flags and it was a moment to behold. The sheer joy of it cannot be explained. All in all had a great time and hopefully we can repeat this next year :-)
