Cricket Anyone?

Cricket is, to say, an obsession in India. I'm not promoting any nuisance behavior here; but if one wanted to "get away" with something in India, one need only wait for a cricket match (if the behavior is particularly offensive, wait until it is an India-Pakistan game). It seems that every spare piece of open field has a cricket game going on and we even have a 10-year old neighbor who is going to a professional cricket camp. So there you have it, Cricket is a little more than the national pass-time here.
Recently, Tracy and Angela were wrangled in to supporting one of the Target India teams during an annual challenge. Their team didn't win, but everyone seemed to have fun. Even the kids got into the spirit and now tennis balls are cricket balls in their eyes.
