We played Boyds team last week (06/24/2007), and they had a decent season till then. They won against Fighters who are considered one of the better teams in the league.
Boyds batted first, and they were all out for 101 in 29.1 overs (the match was played for 40 overs) and we chased the target losing 4 wickets, in exactly 12 overs. Our top-order played aggressively and we wrapped up the match in a convincing fashion.
Anurag and Fahed bowled beautifully, to grab 5 and 2 wickets each respectively. I didnt had much success, as I picked no wickets, but was lauded for making the ball move around, troubling the batsmen. Anurag even sizzled with the bat scoring around 33. Raja scored some 33 and was unconquered. Everyone was happy with the performance, and in the match report, our captain Anurag mentioned specially about our fielding effort, which I thought was excellent.
Right now, our team is a blend of youth and experience, and in right proportions. We have 6-7 excellent fielders .. count me IN that list :D. We have excellent communication and body language between us, which I didnt see in many teams (I can say none in this league so far).
We dont have a game this week end, and I really feel bored w/out playing any game. We have a practice game scheduled today (Sunday), but I am not playing as I have to meet our good family friend Ravibabu gaaru. Even then, there are, I think, 14 members playing in this practice game. I am planning to goto the ground, and stay with the team for sometime and then go meet Ravibabu gaaru later in the evening.
Well, will keep you updated ....
