Tale of First Victory @ RANBHOOMI.........

its been a long time since i m planning to pen down my thoughts and write in this space, and the term has ended today. it wasn't that there was any dearth of issues, it was just the lethargic attitude which avoided me to do this....well more about it later....lets first come down to a more interesting issue at hand....our first match at Ranbhoomi, the cricket tournament at MDI
the team was named as Fuss Patakha and mind you it was in no sense a "Fuss" team. we started the victory paeans as soon as we won the toss and our explosive openers went on to bat....woww what an opening partnership that was...they provided the right platform for the forthcoming batsmen to come in and score runs freely....some exquisite sixes, elegant fours and calm singles can define the opening stand...but once the openers fell, it looked as if runs have started drying up and wickets fell quickly as well. but then the tail enders did their job and we went on to make a competitive total of 130 in 12 overs.
then came the other team...our bowling looked formidable in front of their batsmen and the way they started.....OMG....the first ball went to a SIX and that too on a swicth shot...the batsmen were playing calmly dealing only in sixes for the first 3 overs and then suddenly the turning point came....a run out and an awesome catch at the boundary...that set the sail of the victory for us and we won comfortably at the end....but when the openers were batting it looked that nothing was going right for us.....lots of meetings in between and bowling options to consider and field changes but all in vain....but all's well that ends well......
i was supposed to play the role of sheet anchor but unfortunately i wasn't able to match the general expectation level...they were thinking of me as dravid who will easily deal in singles but i thought i can change my game and play some shots.....but against my phisique and natural game i failed miserably and scored a boundary and 2 or 3 singles but wasted a lot of deliveries.....but then i decided to fulfill whatever was left in batting in my wicketkeeping and i successfully implemented it.......finally that was a comprehensive victory over "Gummatilakdigumma" the team of the southies....and we are all set to face the "Pandu aur 11 mulkon ki police"
