Plays / Stats of the Day


The Rohin Effect!
After a break of 3-4 weeks Rohin was back and the impact was pretty visible on the field. Standing at Mid-wicket he was instrumental in cutting-off the quick singles that helped Team B put pressure on Team A. 

The Dharmendra "a.k.a" McGrath Effect!
We all have spoken about his control - but coming back on the field after 3-4 weeks people would have expected a bit of rustiness. However 3 wickets - two of them were Venki & Siddharth (both bowled) confirms how well he bowled.

The Opener - Pratik!
For the record books of Irvine Cricket Club - Pratik got the dual record when he opened the innings for Team A while batting & bowling. Pretty near to getting the "Sir" title.

Kudos to Irvine Cricket Club!
Imagine - 12 balls & 12 runs to get. Pankaj & Dharmendra going strong in the chase. Batting Team decides that all the team members need a chance to bat - out goes Pankaj and in comes Chandru.  It’s hard to believe but it did happen. All of us will agree that each week everybody gets a chance to perform and that's how we unearth new talent. 3 Cheers to our Irvine Cricket Club !!!

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

Image
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
