We are on a roll now.
I was on an official trip to Goa and so I did not take part in matches played in the month of February. I heard that we hardly played a competitive match and that we were shown the way out of Alfonso ground by broken glasses.
Now I am back to my playing self. Da Freaks has done something that was never done before in its life time. Winning two back to back matches! We are on a winning streak now. Though its just two games, but who can dispute? :-)
I forgot to mention that we won the second match of the two match day on 1st of March. And now, the big result today. We just didn't win, we won convincingly and that too a bet match for Rs. 50 (I, vicky and mani finished it of with a coffee and a couple of juices :-))
Here is the match analysis:
We batted first. We thought that was a weakness because without knowing the kinda total we should put on board (150 or 200), we end up getting confused and getting not even half of that!! We started off well with ganesh and ramesh powar (goutham) who put on a 14 run partnership for the first wicket, probably our highest in that category! Then, kaipilla and ganesh consolidated and after that ganesh with some bulky dude known to kaipilla.
After some lusty blows by them and some fly swatting by bharat (vv's close friend), we ended up scoring 83 off 12 overs.
Bowling second, we started off well. As usual our catching was a lot to be desired (with vv's close friend dropping a sitter), our ground fielding though was pretty good.
Alas came my turn to bowl. After so many excuses, which I ran out off at the end, I was forced to bowl. I can proudly say that I was the one who made the game alive!! My two overs went for 20 odd runs, vv & co probably wanting to tell me in my face that I was responsible for the loss, if we lost. But that was not to be, WE WON!! Except for one guy with extra grown underwear, no one else stood a chance against us.
I bowled the last over. I thought, well it doesn't matter if I run from half way of the diameter of the ground, I would still end up bowling short and slow. So, I tried to spin the ball and bowled a good over actually giving only 5 runs. I think I would stick to spin from now onwards, if at all I get a chance to bowl :-)
DA FREAKS RULE
