Omaha Cricket Association

The second match of the season was played on 25th April 2009 amid cold weather and some showers. The rivalry of OCC and LCC continues. This friendly match was organized by Pradhip Swaminathan and Malkii, to give a taste to anyone who wanted to try out playing real cricket and boy people did get the taste of what cricket is all about. Unfortunately, even with equipment available players underestimated the red cherry and the first causalty of the season was Jatin Khurana who was hit on face by the ball deflected of his bat. Not wearing the helmet caused him some pain but he will be back on nets on tuesday. As they say no pain no gain. The second casualty was Phani from Lincoln team, who got hit on head, both players are doing fine now. Lincoln Cricket Club was the eventual winner so congratulations to them. The Iowa League starts soon and hopefully by then the players would be raring to go after the friendly games in the past few weeks.
