GCC2 Vs Mariners XI 2 GIIS

Just came across how people are keeping pace with the fast changing life of ours..
so thought of spending some time blogging for some time...
In singapore one of the media through which i came to know more people and make good friends is Cricket. So thought it would be nice to start with cricket as a topic to blog..
Though we have played 4matches with 2wins and 2 washout, i am starting with a latest match which we played at GIIS..

It was the match which was very crucial as we were behind the table toppers Mariners XI by 3points. Hoped that the climate remains good for the match considering the climate of singapore you have to keep your fingers crossed till the match is started and completed...
As per the schedule we reached the ground with weather on our side with the sun out as early as 7.15am.
Hoped that match will start as scheduled..
But the 2umpires after checking the ground and the pitch conveyed that they won't be able to start match not latest by 10.30am as the ground was unfit for a play due to wet 30yards.
As a captain of my team and the captain of the opposing team were willing to play, but due to the adamant umpires we had to keep our desires to ourside.
we as a players tried to pursuade the Umpires to start the match by 9am but all in vain. As an umpire myself i know what all thoughts go inside the players it was really frustrating...Then thought there was no point waiting till 10.30am and play a 12over aside match for points. Then asked the umpires to take a call and inform.. after a 1hr long wait the match was called off and the 2 teams shared the points.
as the League match was washed off.. thought it would be better to have a friendly 20over aside. Mariners XI captain too agreed for the same.
We did the toss and I won when it doesn't matter too much without hesistant elected to Bat..
Tried to keep the same battting Line up as it would have been in the match.Our batsmen all raised to the occassion and scored 156 in 20overs. Not rembembering the individual scores..
Mariers were all out for 105 in 18th over.. notable was the 5wicket haul by Sijo 1st one and surely will cherish that for long.
Though couldn't play a league match but all left the ground with a satisfaction that atleast they could play a bit of fun filled cricket.,thanks to all including the captain of the Mariners XI and their team members...
And a big thanks to all my teams mates..

Dear friends you will find some grammer mistakes and spelling mistakes.. excuse me for that i am doing all this from my office desk..
