Majid's heroics

Majid back in the ground after missing in action last week. Many people had missed Majids off spin last week including me .

It was pretty much clear that there is going to be full attendance this saturday for cricket, the on going email chain was a clear indication

Something to be noticed this week was Sanjay, who had recently shifted to BTM layout didn't wanted to miss the saturday action. He had come all the way from BTM Layout.
Another thing which i would like to mention here is Basha.. who had come after the full 7 course meal on dwadashi after the fasting on Ekadashi. Even though basha came after the match started off.. his interest to play cricket was something to be admired.

The teams were split on the usual ways... Santosha, Pavan, Majid.... V/s Kengu, me Sreesha and basha........

It was overcast this morning and hence, i inspired kengu to field first after winning the toss. Batting first santosh's team scoring 73 of the 10 overs. Santosh's and majid's contribution was significant. Majid had a trap set on the leg side but managed to escape with his pull of me to the boundary and a drop catch in the legside boundary.

Chasing mammoth 73 in 10 overs Kengu and co collapsed to 45+ with majid displaying a splendid
so called off spin bowling. The wind factor and the pitch which had soo much to offer helped to get 4 wickets. Majid getting me out for a ball which rolled.. then Basha playing a fulltoss to the fielder in the deepmid wicket boundary.. kengu getting out made Majid to celebrate..
Majid was even seen dancing the KaAt steps in the pitch.. Sreesha being the umpire forgot to warn Majid not to step in the danger area. Majid was on hatrick after getting me and basha out in the consecutive deliveries. Kengu was also out as the hatrick but prafulla dropped a sitter giving kengu chance.

Majid became the hero of the first match with total contribution form bat and ball. Majid had cautioned me to write the blog with a neutral view point and hence i am putting the title as Majid's heroics.. (you guys will have to comment is it really majid's heroics or the wind factor which made Majid a hero).

After a small dirinks break the second match started with kengu again winning the toss. This time straight opting to bat without any other thought. Basha had the bitter thoughts of last match getting out for the first ball of majid. The superhero (KRISSH??) majid was seen in action very second over. Basha on strike..

First ball (no ball) ball out side the ground for six. (we had to spend 10 minutes to search the ball)
Second ball (short out side the leg stump) Smashed away for boundary...
Majid was back in form conceding 10 runs of 2 balls. Basha was seen in the full mood.
Third ball full toss Basha could not do much .. held out in the deep ..
Majid's KAat dance back in action..
Majid again taking 3 wickets in the second match and restricting kengu's to merely 54..

With the tight bowling by basha, me, kengu and sreesha.. majid and co could not do much.. loosing the match with 8 runs. In the end it was 1-1 a series drawn...
