There were many who were advised to watch the ball. But the only man who really watched the ball was none other than Mathavan who usually watches other matches.
It happened last saturday...(29th of December 2007).
Our team was playing against a visiting team. We were 1-0 down and started the second game when things started going our way. We had a reasonably good opening partnership inspite of the fact that our regular opener 'Steve' was on leave.
Then came the man who really watched the ball. He came like a lightning and went like a thunder. At this time, not only Mathav, but everyone watched the ball being scattered to different parts of the ground from the blade of Mathav. The opponents were dumbstruck to see the man who watched the ball playing a cameo innings. They never expected it because they thought he was a defensive player. But they did not know his other side (ie. he is a situation player who can take the game away from the opposition single handedly). In the end, we were able to put up a mammoth total.
It's not over yet. He also watched the ball while fielding in the boundary and took a couple of stunning catches.
We won the match by a huge margin and levelled the series 1-1, because of the man who watched the ball.
This is what Mathav shared with the team members after the game. "I really like to thank Senthil who advised me to watch the ball and because of that, I was able to achieve so much in this game. I hope that I will continue to watch the ball in the upcoming matches too".
Congrats Mathav.
One Suggestion for Mathav:
In the future games, while fielding, do not only watch the ball but also stop the ball.
This post is dedicated to all Ostfoldians who played on 29th dec 2007.

I would really like to thank Senthil(the great coach) for giving the tara mantra "Watch the ball". I just followed his instruction. So all the credit goes to him.
I would like to share something with everyone:
If you want to achieve something in cricket, just "watch the ball" as Senthil says. But "focus" and "dont loose your energy".
