Summary on 14Apr07

People returned to the playing mood after the long weekend for easter. Here is the contributuion from our Lodde for this weeks story!!..

We gathered as usual at the same place and same time. Though there were some guys playing there next to our pitch, we never mind that.
The day started with Kengu’s B’day celebration Boms. But he is ok cos me and Bapi didn’t get chance to blast his butt.
As usual team was made with me kengu Bapi Shouri Subbu etc one side and Shreesha Labbi Rudra Majid as our opponents. We opeted to bat first. Santhosha was the new comedy on the field.
Thanks to the top order batsmen including psycho we could make only 58 with the help of good batting by Kengu and Shouri.
We started off with a decent bowling Kengu leading from the front and slow start from the opponents. But Majid and Rudra finished well by blasting the middle order. We helped them to do this with our poor fielding.
Sanjay matte Vatsange tata Next match was limited to 10 Overs and we were put to bowling. Good bowling initially seemed to contain them. But very poor management and bowling lead them to score 76 by good batting show by Labbi.
We started chasing the mammoth total wt 6RPO. But our batsmen failed to accelerate and got bowled out within the stipulated Overs.

Lessons learnt: Bapat: never bowl off spin
Santhosha: To get good pair of shoes
Subbu: never bowl in slog overs.
Psycho: Slip alli field madidre slip aagolla

Weekend Cricket Backin Action

After the debacle of the Indian cricket in the World cup, weekend cricketers resumed playing in the weekend.

It was a really long delay, from Deepavali to Shivaratri (entire winter season), people had some reason to miss out for action and in the end, the play was to be called off due to the attendence reasons...
Some of the prominent reasons being the coldness of the winter, holiday season, Travel, exams.. etc etc.

The world cup feaver was over before it really begun. It was the hot topic of discussion for the weekend cricketers on the saturday morning. Some had watched the match till Tendulkar got out, some till Dhoni and some watched till the end of the Match hoping for a Miracle to happen. Intersting fact was most of the people who had swithed off the TV sets in the middle of the innings, did switch on the TV sets in the morning hoping to hear the Miracle News in the morning News... Such is the cricket mania in our country..

Coming back to the weekend cricket, there were some noticable diffrence in the ground and its surroundings. There was too much cricket played in absence of us and the old pitch was tampered. The trees in the grounds had blossomed and we could see the green leaves arround.

We had a decent population in the grounds on both the weekends (30Mar and 24th of March).

Hoping to see more crowd and more enthu for the cricket.. :)
