This boy played good fair cricket Mastered the art of swing bowling when he was very young Soon became the captain of Nandanvan Cricket Board His passion and love for the sport bore no bounds Apoo was a class apart He wore his favourite chadds and hit the grounds He made sure he gave everything to his team Including his peculiar bowling style (for the rest of the world to laugh, most would agree) But it was cute nevertheless So what was this famous style that carried words and sentences to mighty distances? Why was it so special that every team in the block wanted to play with us? (not because we lost so often, we&#8217;re sure) Why was it that we had sugandi devi&#8217;s chillar pillar coming over to witness this wonder? Why was it that audiences from across the border were onlookers for this wondrous nature&#8217;s yell? Well hell yea \u2026 our boy Apoorva Joshi had the style \u2026 His bowling style dictated amassing auras of chronic nature&#8217;s calls Apoo would start with a normal run-up, pass the umpire and head towards the crease And then would exhibit the most natural of stances a doggie would take when he&#8217;s gotta leak Yes, Apoo does a doggie pee He gets his leg up and pauses for a century God knows why it stays for so long Ah well, I figure it&#8217;s for me to blog on There are no two words to describe this call The batsman&#8217;s wondering where&#8217;s the ball The keeper, his fielders are waiting so But Apoo, well he won&#8217;t let go God, there were times when we were playing underarm cricket and we thought Apoo would still get that leg up \u2026 We used to think we didn&#8217;t water the pitch enough and Apoo was showing his noble gestures. His legs went up we thought he&#8217;d spray But we knew one day he had to pray I know this brings the same amount of joy and glee as any other Apoo bashing story. But trust me \u2026 you had to be there \u2026 maybe we&#8217;ll make him bowl\/spray for us again though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/statueofpuberty.com\/sp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
