What do Batsmen talk in-between the overs?

Hello Readers,

I would like to share my experiences in Cricket with you all. This is just the beginning of many interesting insights into the game of cricket, more from a players perspective.

Many a times, my non cricket playing friends ask me what do batsmen talk in-between overs. In between the overs, the batsmen talk about how the bowlers are bowling, how the pitch is behaving, strategy or game plan for the next few overs in case it's a one day or a T20 game & if it's a test match then they talk about batting from one session to another. They also enjoy each others batting by appreciating a good shot. At times it can be funny too....I remember batting with Murali Karthik (Indian Test player) against Pace Bowlers Academy Gwalior (LNCPE) in 1994 playing for Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, New Delhi, there was this fast bowler called Sanjay Pandey (Current Ranji Trophy player for Madhya Pradesh), he was swinging the ball like hell, this was an 'SG Test' quality ball (I was playing with an SG Test ball for the first time in my life). These balls tend to swing even after they are old. We were 100 odd for 5 when I went in to bat. After I finished facing my first over from Sanjay, I gently walked to Karthik, he looked at me & smiled, I said in Hindi "yaar SG Test ki ball se cricket thodi different hoti hai" (cricket seems to be a little different with an SG Test ball). Karthik kept laughing on this......

Take care
Anand
