Good ole days indeed…
I played Nirman School cricket when I was in the tenth grade. It was my first year of playing cricket with hard ball. We had a club with students of our school, Banani Bidyaniketon (Bobby as we call it), and most of us were in the same grade with a couple of players that were older than us. We played Nirman School under a different school (not going to name them here); not a single player was from that school. Being a new English medium school they sponsored us to make their names out there. But unfortunately in the 2^nd year, we, well the school we played under, got banned because my opening bowling partner bounced and hit opponent batsman on the head who started bleeding. Thank god he was ok but later there was an investigation (as one of the umpires recognized my friend from 2^nd division cricket) which resulted in a five year ban for my friend and a ten year ban for the school to play in Nirman School.

And I do remember Opee, he was a pro in Nirman School by virtue of several years of experience playing in an age restrictive tournament.
