It was a perfect day for cricket...but not a great day for CABS team though!!!with shortage of certain key players, we started today's play...
The first match we won the toss and decided to bat..shockingly ADMIN and SLOPPER were out in no time..It was up to rest of the players to save the team's batting..But sadly enough LEE and WATSON could not last long...Thanks to JONTY's heroics we notched up 35 in 10 overs...PATTU took a fabulous catch to dismiss WATSON..It was a blinder..he anticipated really well and caught it so well...Great Catch!!!!! Then the WTF reply..PRAVEEN-ul-haq and PATTU have made my work really easy!!!Both played some extraordinary strokes and finished the match off in no time...CABS bowlers tried hard to get a wicket but in vain...With loss of no wicket WTF won the match comfortably...
The second match for an action filled match..It went on to the last ball of the match!!!!!!!Once again CABS team won the toss and decided to bat..This time ADMIN played with some responsibility but he was short lived...Everyone followed suit and we were able to make 25 runs in 8 overs...PATTU caught another blinder in this innings also...seems that he has made up his mind to come with some great catches in every innings!!!!The WTF bowling was asusual spearheaded by WARNE..It was a good display of bowling and fielding...In reply, WTF could not repeat what they did in the first match, thanks to some responsible bowling by CABS bowlers...WTF lost wickets at regular intervals..The fielding was better compared to the first match but still was not upto the mark..ADMIN in particular took a good running catch..JONTY and SLOPPER also came up with a catch each..But because of a few lapses in the fielding, a couple of drop catches and few misfields, WTF did not have to strive hard runs...PATTU slammed 2 fours in a span of 3 deliveries to lift the pressure off WTF team...The sun came out of the clouds for the CABS team when the danger man PATTU was removed by VARUN SINGH who took neat return catch..In the last over, WTF needed 5 runs...With LEE bowling the last over,VIRU was their star...he tried hard but could not finish the match with a flier...With CABS team needing 2 runs from 2 balls, RV PONTING played a neat stroke to bring VIRU on strike and with 1 run to win from 1 ball...VIRU managed to make contact with the ball and won the match for WTF team....CABS team lost its FOURTH consecutive match....It was a pretty mediocre fielding effort by the CABS team that affected us dearly....:(
The performances of the day:Batting was classy in case of ul-haq and PATTU...VIRU played some good strokes too..For CABS team, WATSON and JONTY played some good shots alongside SIMBU...Bowling heroes were undoubtedly WARNE and LEE..VARUN produced some good deliveries too..Fielding, needless to say, PATTU was today's hero..CABS Team need to bounce back..It's high time guys that we won a match..so come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The player of the day is without any second opinions, MAHENDRA SINGH PATTU for his valiant effort with the bat and his mind-blowing catches...
Come on CABS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Lets get back to form at the next edition on CABS Cricket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
