DA FREAKS WON BY 5 WICKETS!!...
One of the most complete performance from our team for a while now and the most satisfactory thing here was we won against a good side playing them for the first time.
We lost the toss and was set to bowl but there was undue delay due to ball trouble which lasted till the end!!...Finally the game began with myself and suresh starting off and we got a run out of the very first ball thanks to a good fielding effort by ram which was eventually his last peice of good work in the field. Even as i bowled my fisr couple of overs for 8 runs the opponents still managed a healthy 32 runs in the first 4 overs. Suresh leaked 13 in first over and jagan friend going for 11 runs but it was more due to some poor fielding. Jagan and sridhar bowled well through the middle picking up wickets and keeping the runs down. Jagan friend bowled very well even though his last over went for some runs. Yogesh bowled a good first over but gave away 9 in his second over which was the 12th over of the match. From 32 in 4 overs we stiffled them to 55 in 10 overs. I bowled a good 13th over yielding just a single and a wicket. In the end they finished off with 76 for 9 in 14 overs.
An excellent bowling performance i would say to give away 44 runs in the last 10 overs. The score was more due to some poor fielding more than anything else but cannot blame the fielders much with the crowd and sun beating down.
Sriram and sudarshan were the openers for the day and once agin a different opening combination something hard to digest. The duo played well even though sudarshan was very slow in the start of the innings and with his running missed quite a few runs. Sriram played beautifully with some lusty highting and kept the run flow. We manged 32 in the first 7, when we lost the first wicket of sriram to a run out who just had called jagan to run for him as he was tired. Ram was the next man in and he kept the tempo up with a nice little cameo which was required at that stage and another run out brought sridhar to the middle. He was out of form and worried about his batting going down today he batted where he wanted and was attacking right from the first ball which i personally feel is the way to go for him since he is a naturally attacking batsman. He along with sudarshan kept the chase under control. Sudarshan batted well through the middle. Sridhar fell with 17 needed to 15 balls and against odds i sent in muthu and he did more than what was expected out of him. He scored a crucial 3 at that stage and eventually ended up with 4 of the 2 balls he faced. Sudarshan got out in the last over. Yogesh went into the middle with 5 required. We managed to score the runs with 3 balls to spare!!..
It was an excellent chase where we had our noses infront at all stages in the match and with wickets in hand it worked wonders!!...Hopefully we can continue on this good form and start on the winning streak!!...Way to go guys!!...Keep it up!!..
Cheers
