    1 EXT. CRICKET FIELD - DAY 1


    PLAYER (19) is batting, but he is concerned and worried about
    where he will hit the ball, he scans the field, there are

    2 INT. HOUSE - NIGHT (FLASHBACK) 2


    PARENT
    I don't know why you don't listen to

    3 EXT. DUGOUT - DAY 3


    PLAYER comes into the shade and sits down next to MAN (39).
    PLAYER is exhausted, he keeps his helmet down and drinks some
    water.
    MAN
    You played well.
    PLAYER is flustered and confused.

    PLAYER
    What? I could barely face a ball.
    These division 1 players are too
    good, I cannot compete with them.

    PLAYER looks around, he thinks the conversation is over.


    MAN
    So, what will you do now?
    PLAYER
    eh?...
    PLAYER thinks for a little while and answers.
    PLAYER (CONT'D)
    I will head back and practice more.
    2.

    MAN folds his hands.


    MAN
    Don't keep waiting for the perfect
    time or place, even if it does come,
    you will miss it.
    PLAYER
    What is that supposed to mean?
    MAN
    I mean...Now that you have come
    here, finish the tournament and
    then...
    PLAYER
    And then?
    MAN
    Then? You can decide then.
    PLAYER leans back and smiles a little.
    PLAYER
    (mumbles)
    You can decide then.
    PLAYER looks at MAN and asks him.
    PLAYER (CONT'D)
    This is the third match, I haven't
    hit big in any of them.
    MAN
    This match isn't over yet is it?
    Relax and play the second innings
    well, go with the flow and see where
    it takes you.
    PLAYER
    I don't think I will get to play
    another match, I better go play
    elsewhere.

    MAN
    Ok, make sure you won't regret it.
    PLAYER
    So, what you are saying I should
    finish the tournament, even if I
    won't get to play.

    MAN
    3.

    I can't make that decision, no one


    can know if a decision is right or
    wrong.
    PLAYER is not satisfied.

    MAN
    You will not regret the things you
    did, only the things you didn't do.

    PLAYER takes in what MAN has told him and stares into the
    distance.
    MAN gets up and picks up his bag.

    MAN
    Anyway, nice talking to you.
    PLAYER looks at the MAN's bag and realises that he is the
    coach of the opponent team.
