Great news finally for all CRICKET LOVERS and FANS……. We are having a one day DAWN to DUSK cricket tournament this coming SUNDAY, 6th March, 2005 at the MAYAJAL CRICKET GROUND on the EC Road, just past the TOLL PLAZA.
Details are as below:
The 4 Participating teams are : XLRI, IIM-(A), IIM-(C) and a mixed team from the alumni of IIM-(B),(L) and (Kozhikode) institutes.

The matches will be played on a 15 overs basis per side, each bowler will be allowed 3 Overs, each batsman to retire on reaching 25 runs, each wide ball bowled will be counted and 2 runs granted to the batting side. In case a team still has overs left to play and batsman at the crease is out, then any batsman who had retired earlier on reaching 25 runs will be allowed to return and bat on with the remaining batsman at the crease till the full quota of 25 overs is completed.

All XL alumni reading this, please pass on this news to others who may not be on the email yahoo group. Also very importantly, those interested in playing especially from the 1999 batch onwards please contact me or Tommy Philip.Equally important, we need cheerleaders to keep the ancient bodies moving on the ground !!! So ladies (oops girls) do come in numbers to cheer us. Transport will be laid on for all players and cheerleaders.
Hope to see lots of XLers in numbers at the MAYAJAAL ground on 6th March, 2005
