Winning streak continues..............
And here is the story all about how we WON against the new Gujarathi team.
The play where we witnessed another of the essence WIN,
The play where we had more cherishing memories in our BIN!
The play where we bowled well more than we did BAT,
The play where we came through the armed COMBAT!!
TOSS:Coin was chucked up in the air, this time the result was not in our fair. But perchance, we had to BAT first.
BATTING:
Poorna and Hari were to unfold the innings for us and it seemed a good start when the duo was on good touch confronting their terrific pace and swing. Only few strokes we had to witness from Poorna before he was trapped with ambushing block hole. And then it was my turn to spring up and lessen the taut but AGAIN the serial of my RUN-OUT continued. Their trait went forward even with Vibhor, our scorching smasher went in and who intially survived a mid-on catch but later had to accede to their pace, without any remarkable pay.
Hari at the other end could show some dominance and pertinence with sensible long batting.
Saquib, Zaheer, Sachin, Audrey as well had to thud with and thus pushing us to the space of quick dismay. Then Kiran went in to amend the innings and could make-up some convincing strike rotate along. Unfortunately he had no maximum chance to have the strike and control otherwise the target for our opponents could have been much better than just 87 from 18 overs.
Epitomising melancholy:
Next-in batsmen had always a say,
"What’s the bowling like today?"
Chilled water bottles not so far away,
After we, the batsmen did badly pay!!
BOWLING:
The mission started with the bowling machine, Saquib opening the fete and when it was done euphoria began to dissipate. The "loosener" was supposed to get the bowler in his stride and batsmen looked to watch it through if it was a trifler, but behind the stumps Poorna had to finish his job.
What a BALL it was!! An eye-feaster with a classic spiflicating outswinger:)
But then-on things were different, although we were having fun, What’s different then? The difference is the ‘first ball’ that bowled. The next ball was more serious – the contest was really ON!!
After the buck and ball being passed to our colossal and rational performer Audrey, the cornerstone for their downfall was laid after his master-mind delivery with Poorna again was attentive behind. Adding to the attack, Zaheer, our winning weaponry and artillery ace was introduced to nail them.
Jislaaik! What a way to deal out in such a pressure with such an ease only to palliate and to make us go near the verge of WIN. Solid, substantial and commanding it was to pick up the 2 important wickets. Outstanding performance Zaheer and we owe the credit to you.
An exquisite cameo from the Duo: Saquib and Audrey
Their batsmen looked good but were dazzled, confused, and completely bemused and virtually there was no way on earth they’d prepare for a contest then. My friends, not from just one but from both of our duo. They made the batsmen believe that they strayed to a wrong territory.This is what will happen when excellence meets wieldiness.
Heartfelt cheers and wishes to Saquib and Audrey for your masterwork. 4 Wickets from each of you. They were not just wickets but ofcourse the core chores gave us another TRIUMPH!
Story behind the stumps:
Poorna, as the keeper came up with another brilliant catching session as smart as a whip with all his forte to make the feast. Incredible and impressive show Poorna of yours without which our bowling extremum efforts would have gone in vain. Hatsoff and really hatsoff!

HIGHLIGHTS:
Though the enitre bowling session looked highlights for everyone of us for the feel of witnessing and experiencing an extraordinary game, couldn't resist to put in the few golden moments.
- Poorna's outstanding 5 catches behind the stumps of which one was rightward diving single handed one was a beauty whilst the others were really marvellous. Extraordinary performance! Poorna, for your lively and spirited takes.
- Vibhor's forward diving knee based (despite his left leg badly being injured) catch was awesome. Well done! Vibhor, you deserve the citation for your commitment.
- Howling kind bowling from Saquib, Audrey and Zaheer. Full credit goes to you guys, cant etch your excellence just in few words. (Infact I literally ran out of so called Sheaksperian words to describe your show). But still I would say Superb, Splendind and ginormous!!
As a whole it was the show of Heroic potential with zeroic misplays.
Double hatful kudos to captaincy extr’ordinaire and our remarkable team!
Did I take just 4 wickets ??? Because of you guys, I told my wife that I took 5 wickets in the match..
ReplyDeleteYou guys landed me in trouble...Now I will have to hide this article from her.. :)
Truth be told, it was second best external match that i was involved in. The previous one was also a low scoring match, when Saquib, Ishwar & Zaheer pegged back Mahesh Team. They couldn't score the 15 required runs in 5 overs.
Srini, you have captured the essence of the match and you words transported me to our game once again. Thank you. :)
