CABS team records another victory!!!!!!!

Victory!Victory!Victory! The significance of saying it three times is the HAT-TRICK by CHIK!!!!!!!!!Yup..we witnessed the first ever hat-trick in the short history of CABS cricket, today..It was a great match in the hot sun!!!The HCG was free and we had to rush to grab the pitch....The CABS team won the toss and elected to bat...It was a bowling match, an instance that shows that we have graduated to the next level and that the class of our playing too has improved....Getting back to the match, we batted first and notched up 44 on the board...Our team mates' efforts to make a score card went in vain......:(RAKESH was a new entry and was in a jolly GOA mood...had his pants rolled on throughout!!!!!!!
There was a descent bowling effort from the WTF team...They removed ADMIN quickly who somehow managed to hit a four in the offside..If this is rare, then his dismissal very early in the innings is rarer...ya he got out when he miscued a straighter delivery giving the fielder a sitter.....SLOPPER too followed...It took some beautiful shots by JONTY and MS PATTU to bring up the score....VIRU tried to play the ball through square and he tried and tried and tried..he jus could not find his usual nick today...bad luck VIRU..... Today's debutant,CHIK SYMONDS had only one ball to face and fetched 4 runs to the team off the single delivery..As far as the WTF bowling is concerned, DRAVID bowled well in a consistent way and VARUN SINGH too was absolutely brilliant with his line and length.... WARNE produced a beauty of a delivery to shatter the wickets of SLOPPER......Also WARNE took a skyscrapper catch...good work WARNE....REP tried his hand in bowling and was effective too....
The WTF replied with iron hands...started off well with DRAVID and PRAV-UL-HAQ..but then lost a few wickets..Nevertheless, DRAVID was brilliant in his stroke making..he was anchored to the crease and HAQ hit some shots at Admin to boundaries...until we found our surprise package...CHIK came up with the over of the day...the first ever HAT TRICK in the bowling format of CABS cricket...He removed DRAVID..the much needed wicket. What followed was a batting collapse..Nothing worth mentioning in the rest of their batting, except that of REP who seemed to be determined to get WTF out of trouble, unfortunately,ran out of his crease for an excellent throw by WINS RICHARDS....a direct hit...CABS team won the match comfortably!!!!!!!!!
As far as the batting performances of the day go, i don have any special mentions..everyone contributed with the bat equally...The bowler of the day is undoubtedly our very own CHIK...great bowling CHIK...u just over shadowed WARNE's contribution with the ball today....PATTU produced some beauties with the ball and it was unfair on ADMIN's part to deny JONTY the ball...We ll make sure that JONTY gets to bowl a few overs the next time we play.....The fielding was terrific...Though there were a few misfieldings and a handful of drop catches, the fielding was great when we look at the big picture... Of course, WINS' catch at the deep and the great direct hit were stunning examples of great fielding..As mentioned before WARNE's skyscraper catch and his effort to grab another were examples of great fielding...good work WARNIE. SLOPPER missed out a sitter....that gives us the liberty to have his name unchanged..so folks, we officially declare that there would not be any further considerations to rechristen him.............
Overall, it was a great game of cricket guys...I suppose that today was the last edition of CABS cricket for this semester....so lets meet at the next edition of CABS cricket asap, whenever it is..........till then keep the fire flaring and the spirits alive.......Bye.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
