Krishna's left arm seam - The best highlight of the day!!

"R v going 2day?" - The text msg from Krishna made me to pull myself from the semi-sleep...  I confirmed him that we are making it to the match today!! :-) Then started to ring every person I could and checked if they would be able to come (or requested them to a good extent not to drop out ;-)) .  DoD (Dad of Dhunas) withdrew himself at the eleventh hour quoting few personal commitments..... Grrrrrrr... :'-(... Apart from that, there was a good turn-around (ofcourse I should use the word 'relatively' here...).

The first person to ring me was Nanjun, the fair and handsome guy from the Unix team. Somehow collected the bats, stumps and headed to the ground... Met Nanjun opposite to CTC and waited some more time for our GSIP darling Manoj Singh!! He came and I guided them home (groundukkuthaampa...).

Almost everyone who promised to come had turned around - Violent shot Vadivel, Mastermind Manoj, Mighty Krishna the Leftie etc...

Haha., as we are searching for 'some'one to play with (same like Chennai - 28) ;-) we found a person (his friends call him Jonty) came forward and asked for a match!!! What response we need to give? Gladly accepted!!!

And amazingly we won the toss too!! We managed to put some handy runs and started to chase! It is more of a team effort I should say... Krishna played a short and sweet innings as a make-shift opener (Oh boy.... who is the regular opener then??). Vadivel dont know why, he resembled the Gilchrist of IPL 2010... Not sure I scored runs on two digits but for sure,  the balls I had faced would have crossed near to 3 digits (I am including the wides and no-balls ^_^ ) - Or, I could patch up myself by saying I was holding our innings! :-(

And we started the chase and as usual Krishna, with his electrifying bowling attack, made the batting crease a little dancing stage for the opening batsmen with their struggling footwork against his nagging reverse swinging yorkers!! And a sudden slower kissed the top edge of one of the openers ending up with a sweet catch!!

This very shocking slice gave the 'Jonty' team a setback... And we continued to bowl well and the new add-in Nanjun impressed with his medium / slow tactics as well. Vadivel chipped in with his tricky change of pace deliveries to tease the batsman and increase their frustration... Manoj came up with a couple of superb catches, one a fairly simple one and the other wow, a skier - he kept his nerve and caught the glider pretty neatly!! Again Krishna with his smooth and steady run-up checked-in his venomously fired in-swingers and curtained their innings!!

Oh YES!!! WE HAVE WON!!! It took a few moments for some of us to realize our win!! Thus the day's match was a good one with a good-win!! Ofcourse, our other default things like Cold buttermilk, Rosemilk, water packet, a marginal defeat, misfield, dropped catches did present as well!!

But end of the match, all our physical bodies had a good pain and the muscles facing a stressful strain - which really made us feel happy!!!

Smiles!!
