much so that everyone started calling him by his name added to Superhitter' s name.They joked, that he should diet particularly, otherwise he will have nothing but his weight to throw around.for like Superhitter, all he will do is hit boundary and sixers and never have to leave the crease.
Then came the abrupt shock.Superhitter was involved in a drug scam.It was as if the normal days were over.It was like living everyday under the eclipse of a sun!Everybody told the boy to forget about Superhitter.They did know, did not they? That he played exactly like the Superhitter!Right from his childhood.Did they know if he stopped playing like him,he might not be able to play at all.He remembered their jokes."It is so easy for you to play, you do not even have to think, the strokes come naturally to you, because you copy the superhitter".Now they wanted him to stop playing, just because that someone has fallen from grace.His father too.He was all acridity and aconite, hissing and cursing, the fallen man.Full of bitter expletives and condemnation.You would think sports was something sacred, and what Superhitter did was unpardonable sin.Sports and such acts do not go together.Well to some people sports are indeed sacrosanct.He exhorted his son to stop thinking of the Superhitter, and give up emulating him.

But in SPORTS, you can't afford such falls. Especially, if you are famous. After all, sporting spirit, good sport, may the best man win, are things we have been hearing from school days. Such things are not uttered in vain. In fact the high standard demanded by sports seems sometimes much more than the obvious demands of the Academic side! And yet, and yet...( Why didn't his father say), that for his acts Superhitter must suffer, must pay, must be punished. But all the same, there is nothing wrong with the way he plays. He plays correctly, he's got a great style. And if you emulate him, it's ok by me. If you feel embarrassed to practise with others, because of your unmistakable similarity. I will let you practise in our garden. You can watch videos of the Superhitters play. You can read books about the way he plays. You can see still photographs display his technique in close up. Take heart. It will all blow over.
Nowadays, these drugs are
