Playing Cricket when the temperature hovers around 10 degrees celcius is something new that i have experienced . When the cold breeze blows over the ground, bodies are benumbed and limbs freeze. Response time increases and the ball hits your hand like a stone. Within the sweater, the body curls upto itself, otherwise nimble feet are glued to the soil, the fielders jog behind a hurrying ball.
All said, i enjoy this more than playing in the intense sun, which beats you with its red hot rays and suck every drop of the body fluid. It is a different experience, worth the struggle.
