i was playing bat n ball, marbles with my 4 boy cousins but mostly I played teacha with brick pillar post….🤣
I was on the boys cricket team too..best fielder / catcher as i was lightening fast on the field..used to run n dive for the ball. I did same for rounders..used to jump high n catch the ball..it stuck to my long fingers ..as long as a ball touched my hand..it never fell out.
I never played marbles, but hop-scotch! N something named TAGA because i had good aim /'straight” hand as they called it
At home I played cricket with m bros n their friends in our backyard as they had made a pitch there..all 4 ofmy bros played cricket, ! Owned n camptain a team. i had a straight hand..ie pelt th ball straight to wicket so i helped to run out plenty guys..we played with cork ball at home..also i was a good runner so i matched the guys running in between the wickets so that they made runs rather than hinder them.
I remember playing bun-house. Some girls used to ‘lash u hand so hard’ but for-me it was a give away..i knew who used to do that..lol
Going back to CHOOR..or SALT..the grass was weeded to make permanent DARRS (lines) in the school yard. I always ‘kept’ the line near to salt as i was swift so no matter wht..i caught them running our of ‘salt’ !Ar home we played choor on moonlight nights with neighbours..we had sand yard so we used to wet it to form the DARRS
