Playing Cricket with Cricket Super Star

November 14, 2012 by Birgit Pauli-Haack Leave a Comment

Christian enjoyed very much an all Sunday Cricket Game at Sarasota with the great Shiv Chanderpaul.

Harish (Captain of Naples Cricket Club) summarizes the game:
Ankur Patel was replaced by Janak Patel, the new Star of NCC. He scored 40 runs as an opener and then kept wickets very well accounting for a crucial stump-out. Shiv was his usual self scoring a century at his pace and some lofty hits after that to remain unbeaten on 135. We (Sarasota) scored 253 for 6 while they (Daytona) were 25 runs short with 9 wickets down. Christian got a nice wicket (stumpout) on his third ball of the only over he was given. Not my day though, even though I opened along with Janak, their bowling was very good.

Having a “kunstpause” literally, when catching this still life with Flower at Bella Maria Tapas Bar on 5th Avenue South in Naples. We just wandered about three hours around the Downtown Naples New Year’s Weekend Art Fair 2012 and admired a few artworks along the way. We bought from Janet Miller, www.pewtervessels.com and from Conni Togle, @sheepincognito.

Again this year, we joined the fine folks of the Sarasota International Cricket Club at their 18th Annual Six-A-Side Tournament. Christian once in a while gets invited to fill in on the team for a few games a year and has made great friends there. I enjoy a fast cricket matches and great athletes show off their art. This year I tested the smartphone app “EyeEm” to do live event photography sharing online. See below slideshow for all photos. The first image of the event collection (EyeEm-speak = “vibe”) was shared on Twitter and picked up by the @Cricket_Bot

Naples India Fest

The 2nd Annual Naples India Fest, catered by India Palace of Ft. Myers, and organized by the Naples India Festival committee, it was a great way to meet friends again and Christian’s buddies of the Naples Cricket Club.

It seems my HTC camera, is not working right… here are a few scenes from the festival. As soon as I find some videos posted, I’ll update this post.

Christian received an Oscar again for being a very dedicated Cricket Player and for holding the ground during the Final of the Cricket Worldcup 2011, after India has two wickets very early and making sure India won in the end.

Here is the YouTube Video:
