CABS team triumphs!!!!!!!!!

We couldn grab the HCG today!!!So we had to be content with the Department Cricket Ground(DCG)..Though the pitch and ground were below standards, cricket was never below standard today!!!We decided on playing Limited overs Innings match today..We have already played this format once...We decided to play 2 innings with 10 overs per innings...WTF team won the toss and decided to bat...NATTU DRAVID and PRAVEEN-ul-haq opened the innings for them...Since the pitch was typically uneven the ball was never easy to predict..The ball seemed to have possessed a nature of its own...Once the ball bounced over the batsman's head and once it kept too low making it diffucult to even make contact with the bat..so overall it was a low scoring match..DRAVID and ul-haq played well ..Once they were out they were followed by PRAS CLARKE(he preffered to be called this way!!!!!!!!) and HARI WARNE...The WTF team ended up scoring 34 runs in the stipulated 10 overs....ADMIN and SLOPPER opened the innings for the CABS team and both played well for not too long...The others followed soon..It was the indomitable VIRU SEELAN who carefully read the pitch and played steadily...But we fell short of the WTF score, yielding them a meagre lead of 6 runs...WTF could not play as aggressively in the 2nd innings as they did in the first innings, thanks to CABS bowlers especially VASANTH LEE and WIN RICHARDS...WTF were all out in the last over and were able to score only 20 in the 2nd innings with an overall lead of 26 runs...Chasing 27 to win, myself and ADMIN finished off the match easily...It was another victory for CABS team...!!!!!!
Everyone as usual played their part well...DRAVID, PRAVEEN, WARNE, CLARKE all batted well...VARUN spearheaded their team bowling along with SOURAV MALI...MALI has drastically improved his fielding!!!!RV PONTING was given the bat only in the second innings, but he failed to make a mark..and except for only one misfield he was really impressive in his fielding!!!!Good work PONTING!!! And DRAVID's catch at long off was remarkable..Great catch DRAVID!!!Excellent judgement!!!And VARUN SINGH's 2 wicket over needs special mention!!!For the CABS Team, ADMIN played well in both the innings...VIRU was brilliant with the bat in the first innings and was equally brilliant in the field!!Good work VIRU!!!JONTY was flawless in the field today..It was really good to see him field just as he is used to...Keep up the tempo JONTY!!!RICHARDS was equally at ease with both his fielding and bowling!!He is another player whose fielding curve is always on the rise.!!!!LEE was simply great with the ball as usual...!!Since the contribution was equally distributed, i could not pick players to name as PERFORMERS OF THE DAY!!!!So everyone were players of the day!!!!
Last but not the least, One of our key players, SLOPPER injured himself in his finger...Lets all pray for his speedy recovery!!!Meet all of u at the next edition of CABS Cricket..Till then keep anticipating and keep praying!!!!!bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
