The Winning Streak Continues

It was a very good day at the ground for 'Da Freaks. Our batting and bowling were really good and our fielding too didn't disappoint us.

'Da Freaks for the day: Maddy, Mani, Sri, Jagan, Raghu, Suresh, Sudarshan, Ganesh, Muthu, Yogi and Ram.

The match was against Diwakar's team, we were on to the second match of the three match series. We won the toss and elected to bat first. Summary of our batting performance:

As you can see the start was steady from Yogi and Ram and we accelerated in the middle overs with Sri and Ram going great guns. But when we needed the real push at the end, we faltered. Something to learn from this.

Still with 95 runs we were confident of defending the score. I started the proceedings along with Suresh. My first over went for 8 runs as I was trying to bowl fast yorkers, which by now we can all understand that it never really happened. My second over went for 5 runs but picked up one wicket. Mani's first over resulted in a good bit of catch between Jagan and I, Jagan tried but couldn't hold on but made enough trajectory movement of the ball that made me track back and hold on to it. Between Jagan and Mani, they took five wickets. There were a couple of run outs and I took two more wickets in my second spell.

We went with the following field set ups:

The bowling statistics isn't complete, but lets try:

I bowled 4 overs for 18 runs and took 3 wickets
Suresh bowled 2 overs for 12 odd
Mani bowled 3.1 overs for 15 odd runs and picked up 3 wickets
Jagan bowled 2 overs for 10 odd and picked up 2 wickets
Yogi bowled 1 over for 12 runs

We bowled them out in 12.1 overs and they were able to score only 67 runs.

This is a good victory and the winning streaks continues to 4 games in a row now.

Cheers,
Maddy
