Dec18'2010_CRIC memoirs-Version1.2

Folks,
The chronicle with another red-lettered win is down here.
HAPPENINGS:
*      Poorna's riposte after yonks with an incredible innings
*      Few new faces over the battlefield
*      Its a 3 match day where in 2 matches were the part of praxis and one was vs. Mahesh team
HIGHLIGHTS:
The day was dreary but NOT our team was.
It all commenced with Ishwar team batting outset that ceded a challenge to Saquib's team with an orotund tone (with a target of 109 in 12 overs). On chase, our batsmen who were in piteous form had to break with measly scores kicking-in the team to self defense. Despite Saquib's hankering combat to chase the hatful runs, we had to be behind the verge of the victory. The second one was virtually the rematch of the earlier in winning termini for Ishwar team. Saquib's solid yearn from his bat again couldn't put us at the triumphant side.
Naveen, Naresh and Gokulan among the new comers casted their best with their enamoring execution at play. Importantly Naresh’s dazing catches were really charismatic. And our regular crew Ishwar, Zaheer, Audrey, Saquib, Hari, Andy and others as well were in the process of making excellence as their habitué. With their sharpshoot in all the departments, Ishwar team was under limelight for the rehearsing session ere of the big one.
Now comes the game of excitement of its kind of whirls and swirls (One of the breathtaking matches I have been the part of). The TOSS!!! The dynamic catalyst, Saquib with fortune in his cap went for it, it was ours again :) and BAT first was the apposite pick.
Low ebb to start with more ho-hum as the run rate was under extreme abjection (Just 13 from 6 overs). With the departure of Sadique and Me, Ishwar entered to make a parade of his assailing rack up. When everyone’s surmise was the LOSS, the state of shrink was changed in a blink with Poorna began turning out to be the peril for them. He hemmed and hawed for all his paltry play for last few weeks with one resplendent knock (37, 2*6, 3*4). Soon the heat was passed onto Ishwar. There was some decent score till Poorna bruised from the collision with fielder and Ishwar was out. Finally we could make up their target to 90(14 overs) which seemed to be comfortable for them.
Initial overs couldn't put them to the squeeze for they displayed some skittish stroke play. With the equation went easy (15 from 5 overs), Ishwar ruled the roost with his rational eye feasting deliveries (jislaaik!!!! 2 consecutive wickets). And then it was the turn of Zaheer and Saquib to hale them down.  Zaheer (this time with ball) entranced with all his avenues explored in the form of his scaring deliveries. Saquib took his part to daunt them down to pressure. 9 from 2 overs was the equation when Audrey bowled with out a hitch to pull their last straw with Saquib taking the concluding catch at long on.
The figures were 37R, 4W, 3W, 2W and 2W for our show stealers Poorna, Zaheer, Ishwar, Saquib and Audrey respectively along with 2 high up and significant catches from Sadique. Heartfelt KUDOS guys for your great job!!!
Wholly, it was the game of great potential.
  Awaited MORE Mirth for the Spirit to be Unleashed!
