A Match to remember....

What a coincidence....
Niloy and Amit missing for our crucial games (Indians & WCW)...
Aizaz Bhai Captaining
Buland hitting two huge sixes,tight finishes
Vikas playing the anchor role and got 11 runs in both the matches
Girish picking up 3 wickets
Fielding not up to the mark....

But the results were not a coincidence …….we were the winners.

Guys we are the number 1 team in Cricbay with 8 wins in a trot

Girish is the highest wicket taker (17), Manish is the best wicket keeper in cricbay with most number of dismissals and we have the maximum number of players in cricfantasy who have more than 100 points.

It has been a team effort with everyone performing and backing each other as happened in today’s match…We were there on the ground by 7:55A.M. before the home team

Aizaz Bhai won the toss and we elected to bowl….and Buland gave the perfect start by taking one of their main batsman in the very first over and we would have both their opening batsman back to pavilion if Girish would have held to that catch of Vikas in the second over of the match...Our fielding was not up to the standard as there were many fumbles ….but still we were able to restrict them to 26 in 10 over’s for the loss of 2 wickets.

And then came Girish to take the revenge of the dopped catch by doing what he does the best …got his 1 st wicket in only the second ball of his spell and was followed by another 2 balls later For a change he got his second wicket with Abhishek taking a good low catch…… and it seemed the story would again be repeated but they played according to their reputation and were able to score 57 and the 1 st team in the tournament where we were not able to get 10 wickets. We were a little sloppy with our fielding throughout the game however the positives of the game were the way Vijay and Buland bowled and not to mention ofcourse Girish….

We were missing some of our inform batsman but the spirit to win the match could been seen in every one’s eyes. We had new openers for the match Rajesh and Devang however we lost our first wicket at the score of eight in four overs but there was no more falters for next 8 overs.Vikas and Rajesh did a great job by giving value to their wickets and made sure that the team has a foundation until Rajesh departed at a score of 28.Girish walked in at the fall of second wicket and looked all pumped up which was very much visible in the very first ball. He flicked the very first ball for one but unfortunately was run out later.

We had two of our best batsman on the crease Vikas and Abhishek and they were playing the ball on the merit before Vikas played a great pull towards mid wicket but found the fielder. But he had done his job by then and it was Vijay walking in but his poor form continued but we know he is a big match player. We were lagging behind the run rate and fall of Vijay’s wicket didn’t made it any good however Abhishek played some of his trade mark shot over covers to give us the impetus and in order to increase the run rate he perished at a very crucial point of time but as we say “MOVIE ABHI BAKI HAI MERRE DOST”

Walked in the hero of the match Mr. Cool “Buland” and he just needed 5 deliveries to make sure we have the match in our grasp.The first ball be faced was nicely put in the gap for 1 and the second ball was a huge six over long off and the next two balls were given respect as they were not in his area but enough is enough and the fifth one was a huge six over mid on to finish the game…….Being on the non striker end I could feel the power of the shot and there was no need for him to say “POWER TO DEKH”.All the members were on the ground with joy to congratulate Our Mr. Cool Dude Buland… U ROCK BULAND….

There were many positives in the game but the way Buland played was just amazing to watch and I think there is no stopping from here….
Next Stop: Weekenders on (June 20) and then the very crucial game against the Spartans (June 27)….
Way to go Maharaja’s
