Nostalgic memories of watching Cricket Match at MAC Stadium. Duleep Trophy matches, One day matches, test matches and now IPL matches in 20-20 format. Cricket is like a movie today. Watching an IPL match is like experiencing a thriller movie. In those days, the result was uncertain. Today, results are certain. In those days, fours and sixes are a rare happening. Nowadays, every fan will have a placard of 4s and 6s.

I became nostalgic after watching IPL Match between CSK and DC recently. During my school days, though I was not fully thorough with the technicalities of the game cricket, I was forced to be the fan of SANDEEP PATIL by my elder brother who is a good cricketer. Slowly I developed my knowledge in cricket and at one stage I became a real fan of SANDEEP PATIL. When I was in my tenth standard, I got to know from newspapers that West Zone and North Zone are playing their Duleep Trophy match in MAC Stadium. It was a Sunday. I told my father that I have a special class for the whole day and also told him that I have to pay Rs.10/- for it. This was the first time I went out of my place. Somehow, I reached MAC stadium from adambakkam.

My favorite cricketer was the captain of WZ and he got three wickets in that match. Before the match was over, I left the stadium so as to reach my home before 6 pm, as i had informed my dad that the special class is from 7 am to 5 pm. When I reached home, my dad looked at my eyes. He did not ask me anything for a while. At around 9 pm he asked me where I had my lunch. I could not hide the truth and felt sorry for committing a mistake by watching a match in the name of special class. I scored 82 percentage in tenth standard. The cost of ticket for Rs.5/= then, today, the ticket cost is between 500 and 20000. I watched the CSK match by paying rs.2000/=, but the thrill which I had in the year 1985 is not the same now when I was watching CSK match. Cricket has changed a lot. It is like watching a movie today. Olden Day cricket is better than present day 20-20 format. Today's 20-20 is like watching a thriller movies. Is there anyone to prove me wrong. A true cricket fan would agree with me.
