playing a match here

Yesterday you sent me

that Quarter finals photo

You don't have a bank passbook

Why do you need a Facebook?

You've opened Pandora's box

All you aspire is to booze

Have a gala time with

your friends, that's all

Are you even least bit

concerned about us?

You stick to the truth in everything

But when it comes to

your friends you lie glibly

Enough...for all the times

you have lied to me

No need to play any match

Come on, pack your bag

Listen, enough of your story about

going to Tiruppur, let's go

I didn't lie, listen to me

for a second please

What will you say?

You've come here to conduct

your friend Raghu's wedding, right?

No

I didn't come for Raghu

I didn't come for them either

I came for myself

They were my world

until I got married

Cricket was my life

But today if I want to

meet them just for 1 day...

...it's such a goddamn struggle!

If I go to Singapore or Dubai,

earn well and come back after 10 years...

...I don't even know

if they will even be alive

Cricket on top of this

- Dude, why rake all this now?

- Then what?

To be the ideal son

for my parents...

...I quit cricket

To be a good husband...

...I ditched all my friends

Today to be a good dad to my kids...

...I'm forsaking all my dreams

and going somewhere

It's all about compromise...compromise

Won't we live for ourselves?

Pazhani, what happened?

Forget it

That's why, these 10 days...

...I intend living for myself

I'll behave like how I did

before I was married

I'll drink with them, play cricket,

paint the town red, the whole works

After that, whether it is

5 years or 10 or 15

...I'll work my butt out for you

But today...

...I will not step out now

I'll come only after

playing this match

We are late for the match

Come on, boys

'The Nippon Paints Grand cricket

tournament sponsored by Vaa Vandha XI

'Teams competing

in today's match are-'

'Sharks team just got more than

an earful from their wives'

'They are entering

the ground now'

'Mrs Ganguly, Mrs Sachin Tendulkar...'

'...Mrs Dhoni,

Mrs Anil Kumble'

'We would've seen

all of them on TV'

'For the 1st time Maruthu TV is telecasting

the wives of Sharks team players on TV'

'Fantastic shot, 4 runs'

'Bad Boys have taken

4 runs off the 1st ball'

'What a shot!

Sponsored by Otto'

'It's a four'

Come on, dude

'Great shot!'

'We thought Parama will fly

in mid air and catch...'

'...he backtracked to disaster'

Before he bowled, he could've

stood in that position, right?

Zip your lips please

'Bad Boys team has scored 15 runs'

'Bad Boys are really bad!'

'Our watchman bowled'

'It rolled and how

Straight for a 4'

'Instead of 'however you bowl I'll hit'

'I'll hit if you just bowl'

'Bad Boys team is beating

the Sharks team hollow'

'Bad Boys team has

scored 33 in 2.1 overs'

You missed an easy catch

Get lost, you-

It's all a wasted effort

As soon as we lose...

...they'll pack us back home

They'll get Anu married tomorrow

My stars are not well aligned

Nothing of that sort

God is up there

He'll take care of everything

'If this match goes this way...'

'...in another 3 overs Bad Boys will

wrap the match under their armpits!'

'Actually this match

was gaining momentum'

'But rain has slowed down the pace'

To play this lousy game of cricket...

...he gave such a soul stirring

emotional speech!

The way you spoke

all my anger evaporated

But the way you played now

I feel like strangling you

Don't worry, Selvi

We'll win this match for sure

Oh really?

Tell me about it!

They've scored 33 runs of 3 overs

How is it possible to win?

Okay, you know

he's swinging every ball...

...you could've bowled a spin

In your match, don't you

have fielding restrictions?

Dude, it's very simple

When you bowl...

...think your wife is batting

Move aside

Why are you playing like this?

Looks like you will stop

Raghu's wedding with ease

You know he's coming out to hit

Then why do you

bowl short pitch?

Bowl full length

Most important, make sure

off side is covered

No one in your team knows

to bowl a yorker, huh?

What is this?

Your dad was Sharks team's captain too

Now you're also in his shoes

You've bragged to me about how you've

won many tough matches single handed

Just 1 man, you're enough

to win this match

'Glad news to everyone

Rain has stopped'

'The clouds have gone home'

'The cement bag covers

are being removed'

'Pitch is slightly wet'

'Like layers of powder

needed for a girl's face...'

'...this pitch needs even more

to be able to resume play'

Can't stand this bulldozer's antics!

He is unable to bend

Then why is he claiming

to present a pitch report?

He's being XL funny!

'Both the teams have

come to the ground'

'33 runs in 2.1 overs'

'Even if they hit

3 runs per over...'

'...Bad Boys team can win

this match casually'

Ball won't move too much

in this wet pitch

Bowl aiming the stumps slowly

Do not bowl full toss

I think they're planning how to run away

from this town without anyone noticing

'In the gap when rain stopped...'

'...you must have stuffed yourselves with

peanuts and corn to your tummies' content'

'Pazhani is getting ready

to bowl the 1st ball'

'He spins like twisting

a pretzel for Christmas'

'As if the ball had boozed, it fell flat

and hit the stumps with a stagger'

'Bad Boys team has lost

their 1st wicket!'

'Next batsman to enter the field

is their captain Hari'

'He's former West Indies captain

S.N.Surendar's son'

'As predicted

he hit on the off side'

'But since out field is wet...'

'...the ball is like a 'jamun'

soaked in sugar solution!'

'Falling like a corpse'

'We can finish the match

in 2 overs flat with 4s and sixers'

'Know the calculation

of Duckworth-Lewis?'

'Subtract 200 from 333, multiply

by 432, divide by 2 and add 4'

'Tell me the answer'

'Don't know?

Shut up then'

'Pazhani is bowling the next ball'

'Batsman is coming out

of the crease to hit'

'Ball goes right into

the hands of our watchman'

'Our watchman has safe hands

Bad Boys won't handle this well'

- Ball isn't bouncing, sir

- Pitch is fine

- They don't know to bat

- Ball is very low

'Sharks team is playing very well'

'For the 1st time Bad Boys team feels

the pressure and is letting off steam'

'After the rain, this pitch

is supporting Sharks team'

'Next Raghu is bowling'

'Fantastic shot

Ball high up in the air'

'Our watchman doesn't keep

an eye on our town alone'

'His hawk eyes caught the ball'

'39 for 4 after 7 overs'

'Watchman bowls

Well hit by the batsman'

'But our watchman

makes it a point to catch'

'In Australia it's called 'sledging'

In India it's the fine art of licking!'

'42 for 4 after 8 overs'

Hey! Try batting

from the other end

Calling me 'uncle', huh?

Let's see your handwork!

'They need to score

22 runs in 23 balls'

'Let's wait and watch

if Bad Boys team can pull it off'

'He hits the ball and

picks up a single'

'But Pazhani isn't throwing the ball'

'Don't know why
