Plays Of The Day

Boom Boom Time !

In the first match Team B had lost the momentum after a good start, chasing the score.  Rajesh was run-out on the first ball of the the over, Anand was at the crease - he had informed us about his wish of playing more than 3 balls in an innings.  However the first 3 balls he faced reminded everybody of Afridi.  All the 3 balls were dispatched for 3 boundaries. This made it for a hat-trick of boundaries in a long time.

Boom Boom Time 2 ! 

In the second match Team A started off well chasing.  Partha decided to up the tempo & got for 4, 4 & 6 in 3 deliveries.  The stage was set for Team A from there. 

Come on, Catch my Catch ! 

Rajesh had taken 2 catches to dismiss Anand in both the matches.  During the second chase, Anand was bowling & the batsman hit lofted shot towards Rajesh.  However it dropped a bit short but Anand was a bit furious & assuming Rajesh was from batting team gave the fielder "mera do pakda tu ye kyon choda" (or something similar). Moments later it was funny moment as Anand realized that Rajesh & he were in the same team. 

Sportsmanship !

Senthil & Pankaj were involved in a run-out during the second match.  Abhijeet J had dropped Senthil but ran Pankaj out.  Senthil walked to Pankaj and asked him to continue but Pankaj didn't want to.  Both of them were aware of what happened but neither Senthil nor Pankaj wanted to let the other miss an opportunity to bat.  Hats off to both of them ! 
 
Thanks guys. 
Have a nice evening.
Bye.

An awesome outing!

Hi, I quickly wanted to acknowledge our awesome outing this past Sunday. We played 2 very entertaining matches. Both the teams won a game, so basically everybody went home smiling. The weather wasn't too bad when we started, the cloud cover didn't make us sweat and the going was pleasant. But this good fortune lasted only a match a half and midway through the game Sun came out firing on all cylinders. But still it wasn't too bad and totally worth it.

High Drama At Alton Athletic Park

Everytime I write this paragraph I think how the weather will be next time, will it be better than what we experienced today? You can be rest assured that the weather that we had  this past Sunday’s was amazing. It just cannot be beat. The sun came out exactly at 9:30 AM when we started the second game. The sky was gray with no trace of white and the sun was nowhere to be seen. It was slightly nippy, but perfect for a game of cricket. We could just keep on bowling and running and yet not have a bead of sweat run down our forehead. I guess this is how it must feel at Lords playing in the English weather  (I have been rehearsing this line since I left the ground on Sunday … I had to say it!). The weather wasn’t overshadowed without a reason, for we had a dispute in the first match, where the result came under much scrutiny. The cloud cover suddenly moved from above into within and that’s a pity because it was an absolute cracker of a match where both the sides played some fabulou

Another Interesting Match

Going by the discussion on Whatsapp the match promised to be interesting to say the least, if not a nerve-wrecker like last time. This past Sunday IW were again pitted against their homegrown rivals CG. With the help of few of their friends the 'CG' faction was determined to settle the score once and for all and show the world which was the superior team. Not to be left behind , IW was all ready for whatever CH had in store for them. With this as the background players from both the teams slowly started gathering at the venue. The excitement was too much for Ram to stay at home and wait for the lock to tick to 7, who was the first one to arrive. CG: Venki, Gour, Partha, Gautama, Vivek, Ram, Vijay, J (female player), Prateek and Dharmendra IW: Abhijeet S, Rajesh, Chandru, Tharendhu (T), Abhijeet J, Pratik, Amit, Rishi, Senthil, Prithvi (new guy ) and Anand IW won the toss and elected to bat. Prithvi and Rajesh opened the innings. CG looked quite confident. I th
