1st Day with "Shell Lions" The Shell Pakistan Cricket Team

Sunday 11th March 2007 was my first day with Shell Lions (The Shell Pakistan Cricket Team) in which i was selected recently after a trial session on PCB Academy nets.

Our opponent were Bank Al Islami and the match was to stage at National Bank Sports Complex Ground Clifton.

We reached the place around 9:00 am after early practice and running sessions match was started at 10:00 am, we lost the toss and hence were to bowl first, in 25 aside match Bank AL Islami scored a heavy 172/5 with my performance not to be mentioned as i wasnt even the 12th men, The team preferred to play with senior players who were playing togather for sometime now.

Weather on the day was awsome, cloudy windy and chill. as soon as our bettign started, rain started to pour down heavily and match got abondoned due to rain, lol

next match is next sunday and i am hopeful to get a chance in starting 11 and show my metal.

A Day Back With KU Gang

Friday 9th March it was the wedding ceremony of our very own Waqas Ghajar's sister, may Allah bless her with all the happiness and goodluck in her life yeah with her husband too.

The ceremony gave us a chance to meet some of our KU ppl again, after a very long time, but as soon as we gathered it seemes like we have met hours before, such is the understanding between us. we all talked abt how we miss the KU days and recalled some of our stories from the best 4 years if our life ( i wish i am dreaming and when i wake up in the morning i could go to KU and have fun again *sigh*) but as this is not gonna happen we decided to meet each other somehow somewhere at reguler intervals to enjoy each others company, well its another one of those plans that we come up with, whenever we meet, but hopefully we will materialize this one, or may be not ?, what do you say ?.. no comments ? .. well thats the best way to go about it i guess 'coz even im not sure if we can do that, but their is no "khercha" in tryign so why not just try ?

people who were there were Myself, Khurrum, Fadi, Daddy Talha, Abdul Basit and Waqas Ghajar, we were expacting more ppl but, busy lives are the only thing we can blame..

wanna share some pictures with you :)
