Q) Why do you like playing Cricket more than any other sports?
A: Aryan – Cricket has so many things… batting, fielding, bowling.
Sarthak – I enjoy hitting sixes.
Durvesh – And I love bowling and fielding. But at times, I misfield and drop catches.
Q) So you all come to play cricket here every Sunday? Do you also play cricket at school?
A: Yes! (in unison)
Sarthak – Sometimes, we also play at Cooperage ground.
Durvesh – We three are from different schools.
Q) Then how did you become friends?
A: Aryan – We stay in the same building and I guess we became fast friends while playing cricket only.
Q) So do you play in your building premises?
A: Sarthak – Sometimes. But we don’t like playing cricket there.
Aryan – We are scared of playing there… what if we break someone windows glass.
Durvesh – That is why we all come here. And I especially love this ground as I can hit very long sixes like Pandya. (everyone laughs)
