Clash of Ego's overtakes the spirit of cricket

It was a dull saturday.. Literally interms of the no of participants and also with spirit in which the game was played. @ 7-30Am in the morning only 7 guys turn up which dampened the spirits of the people assembled. As time passed, 2 more guys dropped in. All the guys who had replied the rollcall as coming chickened out... Only 9 people total

Game started with the Santosha's batting first scoring 60 runs in 8 overs.. Team batting second started with a good chase.. but the highlight of the saturday cricket was the sudden outburts between majid and santosha at the end of the second innings...

It was a clear indication of the clash of ego's.. The incident which led to this altercation was nothing serious. But it was a clear example that when some one takes it personal.. these kinds of incidents happen. Its not blaming any of the person involved.. Just a awaking call to every one not to take any incidents which happen personally. We all have a long way to go and some small such incidents should not dampen the spirits. We all should put such incidents as a bad dream and should come back with double the energy to the field next week.

The match came to a nailbiting finish with santosha's winning by 1 run. Fine batting by Sandeepa helped the Bapats to take the match to the final ball.

Hapy Gouri and Ganesha festival wishes to you all in advance....

Independence Day special : PJ Retires???

Happy Independence day for the readers of weekend cricket blog.

The situation of our soo called Master Blaster PJ is very much similar to Indian Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. He is taking time to come back to the competative cricket.

In the mean time there were rumors that Mr PJ might retire from the weekend cricket league and might be looking for opourtinity as a Umpire or a commentator for the weekend cricket league.

When our correspondent contacted PJ on this, PJ refused once again to talk on this aspect. Also Basha who is active in the field was afraid to talk about his Bade Miayai..

It was the decided by the player of the weekend cricket league that if PJ decides to retire, then there would be a Benifit Match organised for PJ and the proceedings will be donated to PJ for starting his new venture.. along with a fitting farewell to the much self adored cricketer!!

Should we give some more time for PJ to get back from the marriage phase or should we force him to retire from the weekend cricket is the million dollar question to be answered by you all...

Kengu's Back in form

After the continous 2 weeks of white wash.. Kengus came back strongly with a very good performace to level the series 1-1.

It was reported that the players of kengus team were teased by the santosha's team members on the web while chatting. It was pressure situation in kengus team to come with a good performance.

Lot of cricket enthuiasts had dropped in to the field on the early morning of saturday.
New entry was Raghuram. Me and raghuram were classmates and team mates in NIE mysore.
Raghu with cool out look is a good allround cricketer. Me and raghu have jointly won soo many matches for our class team. Good to see Raghu back in cricket. It was Kabbur Prasad who got Raghu to the field.. well done kabburi...

Interstingly Prasda Kabbur was also seen in the field...!

Winning the toss santosha's opting to bat first.. made mere 61 runs in 12 over. Some good bowling performance by Kengus restricted them. It was chased by the kengus easily with 2 wickets remaining. Good comeback Kengus..

Its been observed that on saturday morning for the first match, the team batitng second has most wins.. This is the trend which is been noticed soo far..

Second match again choosing to bat... santoshas came back strongly by posting a total of 73. Kengus chasing 74 came short by 12 runs.. It was 1-1 in the end..

White wash by Santoshas...July 30

After the huge pre match buildup.. It was a record in the history of the weekend cricket.
There were arround 28 people on the field on the saturday morning.. As the match had progressed people started to drop in. We never knew how many people were in each side.

After soo much hype created by PJ.. PJ failed to show up in the field. When asked by the others in the field about PJ, Basha gave a not soo valid reason and tried to finish off the topic..

The stage was perfectly set for the clash. In both the matches santoshas claimed upper hand.
First match santosha's chased the total and in the second santosha's put the mamooth total of 97 in 12 overs. Kengus failed to defend in the first match and in the second match feel short by 15 runs.

Its time when Kengu's have to come with an inspired performance. This is the second week in a row that kengus r facing the 2-0 white wash..
