Umm there is a cricket club which is extramural, I'm not sure what it actually means but they had multiple trials in fall last year and made an actual Mac team. I don't know how many matches it actually played and how developed the League/tournament system for varsity cricket is. But on the other hand there is both and outdoor and indoor season for Cricket as well and you can sign up as a free agent and hopefully someone will take you in. I believe there is a small community of people who regularly play pickup type of cricket in the indoor gyms as well but I don't think they have anything like a facebook group but they probably are the guys from the Cricket club so you'll just have to go in there an get to know them!

Wait you said BROTHER?! How come? Which one of G.Dhiman, C Pujara or Sharma is your brother?

The track was a low scoring hard bowling track, but really the swing was due to his action more then the seam! But then again Pakistanis have this wierd ability to swing the ball wayy more then other countries

Anwar Ali has not been seen much since! His last reported International duty was with the Academy(B team) to Zimbawe and Kenya where he took an impressive 29 wickets at 16.31

I'm not sure why he has'nt been given an international debut yet, he had more then enough potential compared to Rao Ifthikhar and Rana Naveed(though Rana is class in reverse swing).

But its reaaaalllyyy not like we are missing him at all we still have Gul and tbe 17 year old Aamer(who just took 6 wickets in the Srilanka Test) and the worldclass Asif and Shoaib(whenever they sort out their issues that is!)

But some like Rana/Ajmal came into the side at 26/30! Anwar is only 21 right now!

Hows that lad Ishant Sharma doing? I heard he was apparently the next big young thing(Well after Irfan Pathan that is, we know how that turned out! )
