Folks,

Time for CRIC events to hit your mailbox and here we goJ

HAPPENINGS:

> The day was a pleasant pursuit with a fleet of two matches

> Underwent an experience of the rare result - ‘tie’

HIGHLIGHTS:

The action was ON with our new chieftains (Zaheer and Hari) building their teams. Having won the TOSS, Zaheer opted to bat first. Alas! The runs were retarding and the innings was in dulling mode. However, thanks to Ishwar, Saquib and Zaheer who countered yet and made their worthful apportion to make the target (57 from 12 overs) for Hari's team. From bowling face, Santhosh as usual was onrush to keep us throttled to 56. Then the turn was Hari's team to take the charge. Though 57 from 12 overs seemingly well heeled for them, our bowlers Audrey and Ishwar demoed their fullest bringing down the equation to 12 from 2 overs. Zaheer came up with good over without latent hostility and then passing the buck to Saquib in the last over in which only 4 were needed. Santhosh was on strike and Hari's team was on their toes to make a feast. But with the par of the saying 'You can’t predict the result till the last ball in Cricket', Saquib with a majestic ball dismantled Santhosh's stumps when he went for the big one. YES, that is how we witnessed the rarest result, so called DRAW.

Hari's team was to bat first in the second game. This time, we had to face the heat (we generally call it' Under Pressure') when Poorna and Santhosh were on their bumble only to make us tumble and crumbleJ Few paddle scoops (fine leg shots) from the duo made us dysphoric. To travel along in the course of them, other batsmen, importantly the newbie, Nayan came up some textbook shots, which ultimately put them in driver’s seat with the target of 99 from 12 overs. It looked good and chase-able with some spry and strike rotation. But Sadique's over was out of the blue scene for us which costed us 3 wickets (So called military medium, worked out making the batsmen tickling). Very soon, our batsmen paved their ways to hutch to be in maze at last.

And as a whole, the day did jolly us UPJJJ

Off the field Gossip: (Just for FUN, Please DO NOT take this severe!)

Humble request:

Gentlemen, with the sun getting more tempestuous week by week and with which consequently the consumption of H20 will get raised and therefore I'd like to make a humble request to each of us to take in some extra energy (water) with you:) Thanks for your understanding!
