I have said before and I repeat, long time back I have played TT competitively and represented my state. So I give people on the other side of the table a tough time. And usually all of us give our 200% while playing. But today people did consider my injured ankle and played in a relaxed manner and that was quite surprising.
One of the strategies my colleagues used was to hit on the extreme opposite from where I was standing and so many times I could just stand see the ball whizzing by! Another of their strategies was that if my partner is to pick up the ball hit it close to me, as I would be unable to move out of the way! That too was successful to an extent. But all in all it was good fun, and as I am writing this there is a huge grin on my face!
And when of my colleagues got a phone call, two of us (and let me grant it my opponent is just slightly ahead of being a beginner) quickly played a singles. Now in singles (quite unlike doubles) I can cover a lot of table by standing in the middle squarely. So whatever fond hopes he had of taking advantages of my injury, actually the outcome was not very different. I won 21-7 (yes we still play games of 21 and have not switched to games of 11 with two serves each).
But then all that is besides the point. All of us just had a good time.
Great….quite chivalrous partners you have. He tried to take advantage of your injury!! Bad boy!!! He should have played with his non-dominant hand! See now he has lost in more ways than one….and the score is on the blog. :o)
Hey, but not the name of the person! So how does that score matter of you do not know who the person was. Ad they are actually quite a good bunch, so don’t say anything about them!
It seems that you really had a good time. I am no good at this game, a ‘Sunday player’ really. But it’s always a lot of fun. Though I guess a professional player like yourself would be quite annoyed with such a dabbler:))
Ok..they are the best lot…..sawee. :o)
Sounds like you had a good game in spite of the injury! Hope it heals soon.
Fida, no, I am no professional and I can play with everyone.Yes they are Paradox.Bindu, I am away from the college on a training so the injury is getting a chance to heal.
