7:30am- Cricket on Sat 2nd April

Hi guys, this week we are having game at 7:30am on Saturday 2nd of April. So far I think there are around 7 people confirmed. We should be able to have game if couple more people join. We'll try to finish by 10:30 to 10:45 so that we are back in time for the WC final. Ranjeev: could you pls check with the people who confirmed on Facebook and put their availability here for this week. From next week, let's do it on Facebook only since it's more Hep ;-) Can you or Prashant pls take care of facebook list from next week? It's confusing to maintain two separate lists. INDIA, INDIA, INDIA,INDIA, INDIA - sorry couldn't resist that ;-)

8 people confirmed: Start the season this saturday (26th mar) @7:30am?

So we have 8 people so far. But let's try to have more to make interesting games.
@Prashant: As I am on business travel for next 2 days, could you take care of blog updating as well as getting some tape etc for the games? I can pick up to 4 people from Antibes so pls feel free to nominate me for that.
thanks

Guys,
Hope you're all doing well. It's been about 5 months since we closed our cricket season.
Let's start the season this saturday 26th march? Please leave your availability in comments section. We need minimum 8 people to have a game. cheers
