Invitation to take in some cricket

From MLC professor Dr. Chintamani S. Manish:

On behalf of the Omaha Cricket Club, I would like to extend an open invitation to watch some live cricket in Omaha over  the next two weekends.  The OCC is organizing the 4th Annual OCC Challenger Series (2009); a cricket tournament featuring teams from neighboring states as well as Nebraska.

Games will be played in Omaha (two grounds) and Lincoln, but the main festivities will be at the NP Dodge Park (north-east Omaha).  The matches start at 9am on Saturday and Sunday and will go on till well past 5 pm.  (There are multiple matches scheduled in a day, lest you think that a cricket match can last that long.  Well … it can … but that is a story for another day).

This is an open invitation to everyone to come and watch.  Apart from the game, there will be plenty of yummy Indian food to devour, but I cannot guarantee that it will not get eaten before you get there depending upon when you do.  Lunch will be served around 12:30pm onwards on both days.  There is no price for admission and I will be there at the ground (either playing or spectating) and we will be glad to show you the ropes of the game.

If you’d like more details (or directions to the ground) please contact me.  Briefly: if you take Route 36 East towards Bennington and drive till it ends at the Missouri River, you will need to then go north (under the Mormon Bridge) for about 1.5 miles.  NP Dodge Park is to your right and the cricket ground is to the north-east corner of the park.  (Just follow the sound of merriment or the smell of good food and you will be right there!).

I hope to see you there, even if for just a few minutes.
