Superstitious believes in the mind of the players play a very big deal. I don’t know who all believes that but for me it is playing a role. As sijo was available for this match too we came to the ground by 12noon. 1Pm is the start the chance of a match was a bleak as this was the place which was flooded in the last rain. And this is the area which has a largest rain fall if I am not wrong. When we reached we saw one friendly going on and the team which was chasing is on the verge of win. So I decided if I win the toss I will field but some think that we should always bat first if we won the toss we have to wait for that.
One of the umpires was our own Mr.Kili with Mr. Suresh. After inspecting the ground they agreed to start the match with some advice on the safety.
Again the toss time again I lost the toss luck in disguise the opponent decided to bat first and asked us to field a decision I would have taken if I had won the toss. But now no one can blame he he he as lost the toss.
The score card has not been updated by the opponent so far so I won’t be able to give a detailed score. As usual it was the job of the opening pairs of the bowlers to give early breakthrough for us but it was not to be. This time one of the good thing was that tariq was able to get some line and length for himself which was a good sign on the other end reliable manesh was doing good but the 2old fellows of the BC were seeing the ball very good and they were very good between the wickets. We also started to give loose runs cannot blame we have to see for our safety and also some overthrows which could have been avoided by us. Change of the bowling was inevitable as we required wickets to put a restriction to the scores and we started to get the breakthrough from Mani and bobby. At the break they were 74 I was confident that we could restrict them for below 120 but it was not to be with some bad bowling and some miss field and some overthrows which helped them to pile the score of 150 in the allotted 30overs. Though the BC people are old but their stamina and eye sight are tremendous. Some people even after playing the full match played the football at the same ground …
The score of 150 is chase able with the batting strength we have and the result of the morning friendly was also playing a big role in my mind strongly and was giving me the strength internally.
This time had the support of both the batsmen who usually opens for us, one an aggressor and the other one a patient player so far he had to perform has he had leaked about 20runs while keeping wickets
They started the inning patiently again we lost Ramesh very early in the innings but Mohammed was not going to give it up as he had to prove something to his friend in the opponents camp. He started to play very fluently by hitting fours and sixes which was never expected from him the way he bats. On the other end Guru was giving him a good support they together piled 120at the end of 15th over...
Now we could a take chance for 10points asked them to increase the tempo and score the required 31 runs in the next 3overs to get the 10points. On the other I cannot forget my lucky mascot he was doing the scoring on the board even I had to restrict Ramesh from touching the score board .
The message in the break went well through with the batsmen they started to score at a brisk rate and Mohammed hit the winning runs by hitting a long six at long on and providing the team with 10 crucial points.
In the process he completed his 50 which was eluding him for long and the guru on the other end scored 40+ runs at good rate. Well done….
From the win we are on the top of the table and a chance to be the champions remaining is one more match which is in the month of September second day after my b’day ...
Guys good work done after the heart breaking loss to CW and the way all fought back to be the champions shows our power and guts to be the champions.
Keep the good work going on and have a nice break and have good time with your family.
