Another great day for the freaks as it was a comprehensive victory against an opponet we knew who had to play really well to beat us and as i had commented last week we came up with a great victory. Everything went right with captain raghu winning the toss and as usual we decided to chase even though the reason was more of due to couple of our players wanting to leave early. Myself and suresh started the bowling and we had to bowl to a new pair of openers the opponent seem to have got in their team from the last team we had faced them. The start was promising for them with their bastmen scoring 24 runs in the first 4 overs and just losing a couple of wickets. It was more due to some sloppy work in the field in the second over where we dropped a couple of chances and a missed run out opportunity and the unfortunate bowler was suresh with myself being the main culprit missing few straight forward chances!!... May be that was the only blemish in our otherwise good all round performance.

Goutham and Maddy shared a great bowling partnership by picking up 5 wickets between them!!...A big suprise when we decided to give our owner an opportunity with the ball even though the captain was not to keen on it but he proved everyone wrong with some tight stump to stump line troubling the batsmen with his slow medium!!...Goutham has been great for us in the last couple of matches with the ball but he will be tested in the coming weeks against better teams. The innings was then wrapped with ganesh,jagan picking up wicket a piece. It was a great bowling performance more due to the fact that we did not bother to use sridhar nor vignesh.

We began the chase almost immediately since both vignesh and sridhar wanting to leave. Sridhar tried his bit to wack a few around as he was getting late for him to leave which left us with a early loss of a wicket but vignesh at the other end was batting beautifully picking up the gaps and with some good running between the wickets. Freddie wacked a few around the park which gave a lot of momentum to the chase before he perished to a needless shot but he had done his job!!...We were coasting along to reach the target well but in the way lost ganesh and towards the end vignesh with only 10 odd runs to get. May be he spoke too soon about his flick shot which he managed to play well today but as always that has been his get out stroke and today was no different!!...Yogesh finished it off for us and we reached the targer in the 10 over with 4 overs to spare.

A great team performance and hope we can carry this winning moment forward as we take on shankar and his team from next week in a best of three clash!!...A know opponent so there should be no suprises and i am sure we should finish them off with a 2-0 win!...but i will be missing the match though the coming week but this is something which will spur the team on to win since the last time i missed a match they all know wat wat the result and to bear all my speaking, so they are all keen to set the records straight with a comfortable victory and i do hope so!!.. Keep Rocking guys!!...Cheers!!...
