Cricket lines for family

You were my first bowler and my first rival.

Thanks for letting me bat first, once, in the entire history of our childhood.

We broke one window and two vases, and we'd do it all again.

You still owe me for that run-out in the living room.

The best stadium we ever played in was the corridor at home.

You're the sibling who changed the rules every time you were losing.

Remote fights during the match: our oldest family sport.

I'll always be your opening partner, even if you never pass me the strike.

You taught me spin bowling, mainly by spinning the truth to Mum.

Bhai, bachpan ka woh out abhi bhi out nahi tha.

Behen, tu hamesha third umpire banti thi, aur hamesha apne favour mein.

Ghar ki gully mein khela har match humari jeet tha.

Thanks for being my team, every single season.

Papa, thanks for bowling to me for hours on Sunday mornings.

You taught me to play straight, on the pitch and off it.

Mum, you never watched the match, but you always made the snacks.

Watching cricket with you is my favourite family tradition.

Thank you for buying my first bat, and the second after I broke the first.

You cheered louder at my school matches than any stadium crowd.

Every big match, I still want to watch it with you.

You taught me that a good partnership matters more than a big score.

Papa, your commentary is better than the TV's.

Papa, match ke time aapka 'yeh shot mat khel' sabse famous line hai.

Mummy, cricket samajh aaye na aaye, aapki chai hamesha time pe aati hai.

Aap dono meri life ki sabse strong partnership ho.

Thank you for being in my corner, every innings.
