Cricky under the march sun

Well, since the Cabs updater is quite busy with all the activities buzzing around@college, i take pride in posting my first ever post@CABS - the cricky blog of CSE-B .

Lets get down straight to today's match , Yeah its March1 today and Sun was at its brightest today scorching down at us while we were trying to get some cricket going in an almost empty college.
Here's today's attendance in cabs cricky,

well, quite low right ?? yeah, thats how many stand up to play on a sunny day ..
Today was not the usual sort of like CABS and WTF meeting head on ,, rather some players of cabs and wtf got interchanged to weigh up together i suppose .. and yeah, their field power got raised cos jonty singh was taken by clarke :(
also,nattu dravid was literally limping with his small bruise on his leg that he dragged while playing for the major match the previous day,so he was put a common man - he kept the wicket and held bat for both teams,that is what a common does acc to us. Viru went the other side instead we got warne to raise our weight in bowling dept .

Venue - HCG
Tossssssssss, the coin made sound as i put it up in the air, HEADS pras called and guess wat, TAILS it was and we got to bat.

Me and slopper started out and played a mix of loose and great shots ;) and very soon i gave away my wicket and the rest played their game and we totalled upto a not so impressive 36 in 10 overs.

They started well i must say , we ran ran and ran behind the ball and i added a cramp on my leg which still pains.
they had to get 9 from 18 balls i think , i got the ball and snap took the first wicket of their innings (8 overs for first wicket!!!) and then it seemed that we still had some chance to wrap it up(did we really??). Slopper bowled the 9th over and they had 3 to get from 6 balls i acc to my brain.warne bowled the 1st ball of the last over and bang jonty hit it at mid-off and slopper in his usual sloppy manner missed the ball
(i decided that we're not changing his nick for some weeks here on)
they ran 3 runs for it and yeah yeah - They won with 5balls to spare.
Rest for everybody now and they had enough scorch balls from the bright Sun than the cricket ball, atleast half a litre d'eau each had. [ d'eau - of water ]
varun singh left the venue to home at this juncture and so dravid joined the other team..bad for us..

Next match , Tossss(yeah it tossed only a lil) was by pras as lee called and lost it, i asked for a re-toss as it din't toss as i expected..and so did pras , i called HEADS and yeah u know , it was TAIL :( [ damn i thought , why doesn't this coin show up a HEAD]

Anyways , geared evryone to face the Sun much than the shots of the other team.
They started impressive and made up a total of 32-A.O in 9 overs.
bowling dept wasn't impressive except me taking 2wickts in my 2nd ovr and warne,lee were tight in their spells,fielding was a thumbs down as i missed a easy one and slopper as usual.u know...
Me and slopper started and couldn't hit a big shot in any case,even loose balls we missed.
yeah u know the term - exhausted.Evryone came and got out at the other end and i was standing here hopeless abt the match.Finally it was win richards' grip at the bat and we decided to put mokkai.
[mokkai (in cricket)[n] - to stand at the grease without giving away your wicket and neither trying to score runs]
Then it was finally over as i got over trying to break free by hitting and the ball ended in viru's hands.We lost this one too..
