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.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Video] Update - Admin :
Here is the CABS team celebrating their victory:

CHAK DIYA CABS team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oops!..sorry....couldn't take the finger off the key in time...that is the amount of excitement....This day goes into the history of CABS cricket as one of the most remarkable days....
CABS cricket truly had a promotion today....Wat else do u want?We beat one of the formidable teams today..and that too in a bowling match!!!
Talents came pouring in..it was in the HCG and i don suppose that we have ever started playin so early...the weather was great and the conducive for a great day of cricket and the air was filled with enthu...we faced a manifold team...it had people from a variety of category...3rd year...4th year....ECE dept,Biomed,hostelite,dayscholar and what not...But the oppsition was dauntless. There was no separation today as CABS and WTF. It was CABS vs the opposition and the spirit was simply immeasurable.....
Jus as we expected we won the toss and no doubt we decided to bat...ADMIN and ul-haq opened the innings...and ADMIN got the team onto a flier...but unfortunately ul-haq ran out of his crease....but then came the highlight of the day...the best partnership till now...DRAVID joined ADMIN at the crease...and both were classy,with free flowing bat and there was no hurdle for the flow of runs..even the fastest bowler in the opponent team could not get the better of them. No stopping them!! ADMIN made some blistering shorts..though every one of them were on the leg-side,his strong area...DRAVID played some glorious shorts all through the ground..though his shorts through the square need special mention..the partnership heaped up runs, going steadily at 7.00 runs per over...jus when we foresaw a great total on the board, ADMIN misqued a delivery and threw away his wicket..he returned back to resting place for a standing ovation..DRAVID followed soon...receiving no less appreciation from the team mates...great partnership guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then the batting order started to wobble a little...REP failed today and surprising ly even VIRU could not thrive....WATSON and PATTU scored few,crucial runs...but the runs did not come as easily as before...but somehow because of the commitment of the people..we reached 86 runs in the stipulated 14 overs at a healthy run rate of 6.14....
Then the CABS team went on to field..full of confidence because of the score we had etched...Though the opposition had a strong batting line up, they were actually low in confidence seeing the spirit that we showed in the field...VARUN SINGH's bowling needs special appreciation....he bowled the first over of the innings with real good consistency throughout...the bowling was great..with VARUN SINGH and DRAVID(sounds strange isn't..dravid opening the BOWLING!!!, it happens only here) opening the bowling..both of them bowled at good length...and restricted the flow of runs for the other team...DRAVID removed the supposedly dangerous player of the opponents with help from VIRU who took a blinder in the deep...The bowlers did a great job and they were well supported by the fielders....the pick of the bowlers include WATSON who claimed 3 important wickets....therefore compensated for his batting....PATTU was great in whatever he did...he did some intelligent work behind the stumps to dismiss another important wicket of the opponents...though they had great players except one the others kept walking back...thanks to some great bowling from us...SLOPPER too had a good time with the ball ..Good work SLOPPER and though he did not miss out in the fielding we have decided not to take any further steps in rechristening him.....i don hav to speak about the fielding...it was the fielding that took us home today...be it REP or IRFAN or JONTY or WATSON or DRAVID..everyone was simply scintilating....something tells me that i have missed out someone..sorry if i hav missed someone...
Owing to the tight bowling and fielding the opponents needed an almost impossible 22 off 12 balls...and thanks DRAVID who made life much more tougher for them..guess what???a maiden in the penultimate over...needing 22 off 6 balls the opponents were under tremendous pressure...PATTU bowled the last over and the opponents were staggering literally...even the batsman who had proved to be a nightmare for the CABS team in the previous occasions was helpless....DRAVID dropped a sitter.. Though the batsman was run out...the opponents fell short by a mile...CABS TEAM grabs a remarkable victory!!!!!!!!!!
Now for the players of the day.....undoubtedly the batting heroes of the day were ADMIN and NATTU...The bowlers of the day, PATTU, WATSON and VARUN and DRAVID( just for that last but one ,over).. I jus couldn point out one bowler. There cannot be any second opinions about PATTU's keeping...Today, he justified me in naming him MAHENDRA SINGH PATTU in more than one way.....that run out was a great work pattu!!!
The next match had nothin important to say...it was between CABS team and the ECE team. Seeing the performance of the CABS team in the first match the opposition team ran for covers just after starting their bowling. Though here comes the cherry on the cake...HARI WARNE caught a real blinder...that goes down as one of the best catches...great work warnie.......
Altogether, today had everything...additionally we proved that we are capable of winning matches against strong teams and that too in the conventional bowling format....great work CABS team and great commitment members....too great was today's playing...keep up the spirit and lets continue this form and reach the next levels...see you soon in the next edition...till then keep the spirit going and accumulate the energy...so that we can unleash our strengths on the opponents....Asusual, am sorry if i have missed out any noteworhy incidents or important players...And ofcourse,your feedbacks are welcome...see you soon.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CABS team does it again........!!!!

Today was all about placements..With half the class working on placements in the Audi..The other enthusiastic group was working on placements not so far...though the placements had different meanings all together...
This full day belonged to CABS cricket and the cricket belonged to CABS...Three matches were played and CABS won 2-0, the third match was a tie...This, to the best of my knowledge is the first tie in CABS history..Wat an entertaining day of cricket we had...!
Let me jump straight into today's action. I hope it was destined to be CABS' day..because in all the three games played it was the CABS team that won the toss...The first match SLOPPER* and and ADMIN gave a good start followed by some pretty useful contribution by WATSON,VIRU and others..WATSON though was consistent throughout...CABS team amassed 52 in 12 overs..thanks to the performances of the batsmen..The WTF team though were just as usually brilliant in the field..SOURAV mali bowled really well...opening the bowling for them...Eveyone did their work to perfection and they had a debutant in their team, though he was from another dept...
The WTF reply was stupendous, NATTU DRAVID and the debutant playing some great strokes...MS PATTU was simply lightning in his strokemaking whereas DRAVID's innings was just a delight to watch...They played really well and brought the match to a nail bitting finish..with them requiring just 3 runs to win off the last ball...It was VIRU who bowled the last over...and he along with WATSON can claim full credit for the victory..because it was off the bowling of VIRU that WATSON took an excellent catch to dismiss DRAVID in the third ball of the last over..this according to me is the turning point of the match...However In the last ball of the match VIRU conceded just one run..the CABS team had won the match just by 1 run..ADMIN and JONTY missed the fielding because of known reasons..but it was an excellent match...
In the post lunch session 2 matches were played...in the first of which CABS posted a massive 60 on the board and the WTF once again played well to fight back,but fell short...It was a convincing win for the CABS team...PRAVEEN-ul-haq stumbled and hurt himself in the legs and because of which he had to miss the last match..but even though he was injured he opted to bat for his team which needed him badly...That was very spiritful playing by PRAVEEN...Nothin else was special as far as this game was concerned. It seemed to be a repeat telecast of the first game..except that it missed the THALA(hey!!don't laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!)..im not kiddin...for all of u who do not know..thala played cricket today..but he was stubborn not to HANDLE THE BALL(even during fielding..ha..ha..ha)....
Ok..now for the match of the day..in the third and final match of the day also., team, won the toss..and batted well...everyone jus chipped in with the bat and again CABS team got on to 51 off 12 overs. With mEEEani playin an important role with the bat.. In WTF reply...REP and debutant played a steady knock..once REP was dismissed, DRAVID superbly and was followed by some hard hitting by PATTU...They seemed to be in a comfortable position of winning the match...requiring just 6 runs from 3 overs..but it was VIRU who once again played the Guardian Angel in the 10 over...But for his tactical bowling and the heroics of mEEEani..the match would have been easily won by the WTF...he took two mind-blowing catches to dismiss the top batsmen, the debutant and PATTU..IRFAN RAJ was in the nonstriker's end while wickets fell at the other end....But thanks to SOURAV who was not helpful with the bat as he was with the ball..he tried, tried and tried to somehow hit the ball with the bat..but failed miserably..with the match ending in a freak tie...something to remember for a long time....
As far as the performances go..hav lots to say..Batsmen were superb..DRAVID was effortless in his stroke making...PATTU was hard hitting..ADMIN was classfull....SLOPPER* was skill ful and WATSON played some blistering strokes in all the three matches...REP and JONTY also had good time with the bat.....BOWLING was great with the hard ball and the good condition of the HCG pitch..SOURAV spearheaded the attack for WTF and to good effect...VIRU was the pick of the bowlers....though JONTY, WATSON,McOFFICER,REP,PATTU all made the ball to move and had the other team players staggering...
Today was equally good for the fielders ..JONTY was just brilliant as usual...DRAVID took an almost impossible catch...WATSON took a few good,tough catches and PRABAKHAR too was good in the field. Considering the number of matches he has played in this pitch, he was great in the fielding..though a popular opinion among his team mates is that he would be better in the field if he puts his mobile aside....SLOPPER* too took a good catch let alone PATTU who has a few to his credit though he dropped a sitter...FLAMBOYANT and SHERYL made their debut today..and I welcome them to join us and groom their talents consistently..
Now comes the most critical time for me..Identifying the player of the day...Today had a variety of performances and some great cricket...So I have no other go but to select 3 players as players of the day...One, the debutant harish who seemed to be planted to the crease...Two, NATTU DRAVID for his consistent performance with the bat through out the day...Great batting DRAVID.... and finally, WATSON for his all- round performance...he played well with the bat..took crucial wickets and some jaw-dropping catches...Congrats players of the day ..sorry if anyone has any second opinions..because it is just my own decision...also my regrets if i had missed out any noteworthy performances..
Finally, we all once again proved our sportmanship..we played some glamorous cricket and cricket was at its best, and CABS cricket has started to win hearts among other dept. players too...great work ppl....Finally, I hope ul-haq will fit to play Thursday's match...let's meet on Thursday for the next edition of CABS cricket,hopefull....................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would be glad to receive feed backs................bye................
*we are seriously considering to re-christen SLOPPER, name suggestions are welcome....

CABS Cricket at its best..........

"Cricket was boring without ADMIN illa...???" This was the silly question of our admin.His humour sense is very clear from this...He has been thinking that CABS cricket is all about him.. We just proved that wrong..Infact today we played a different kind cricket..I would call it Intra-Cabs cricket. Thanks to admin for helping us discover this brand new form of Cabs cricket..Yes today all of the players were Cabs players..Of course with the absence of Admin,everything went on well..lollz.......

Today the highlight was the pitch..this is the farthest pitch from the HCG(Hostel Cricket Ground)..I would name this pitch ECG(Entrance Cricket Ground). The ball was hard and the conditions were fabulous, except for the extra hot sun. With 9 people of the Cabs team we started playin. I played comman player for the first 2 matches..The matches lacked nothing with VASANTH LEE leading the team which comprised of JONTY SINGH,VARUN SINGH and WIN RICHARDS and the other team with SLOPPER,VIRU SEELAN,McOFFICER and RV PONTING..ofcourse i played common...

In the first two matches SLOPPER's team made a clean sweep..though SLOPPER maintained his excellent form in fielding( let not the sarcasm go unnoticed). LEE's team won the third and last match. VIRU was as usual skillful, JONTY was excellent and today for a change WIN RICHARDS,who was terrific behind the stumps and eventually missed out the third match due to injury, also was determined to throw only at the stumps, ofcourse JONTY needs no mention in this context. RV PONTING was calm and composed as usual and played his part to perfection, not to leave behind his good work behind the stumps. McOFFICER proved his batting talents yet again today as he blasted off the deliveries to the fence. LEE was lethal today too. SLOPPER slopped again, and again, and again but he made up with his bat. VARUN SINGH played really well with the bat though was a bit expensive with the ball.
On the whole, today was just very exciting. Though some regular players like REP and WARNE were missing, today's episode of Cabs cricket seemed just as usual. Afterall excitement lies within the players and not in the number of players...Had a terrific time. No second opinions about that..so the people who missed the match today actually missed excitement and we never missed anyone today(Especially Admin..ha..ha..ha...)...........see you all in action soon........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CABS CRICKEY............

Up,Up,Up and all the way.....the ball went straight over the fielder's head for the maximum...Admin(Yousuf) played the innings of his college life so far today...he took the CABS team to a comfortable victory over the opposing team( i leave it to you to name them).
The CABS cricket today played in the original pitch..which was free after a long time..and in an unusual time slot...the spirit of playing the game was on peak today after everyone in the CABS cricket team bunked 2 hours of one of the important subjects taught by one of the most useless faculty...(no hard feelings)
Now we'll come to the highlights of the match...Ofcourse the innings of the day belongs to none other than our Admin(Yousuf). Apart from that our classic opener NATTU DRAVID, played some delightful strokes for his team until he made an error in the judgement of a ball by admin, and was eventually caught by the wicket keeper..there were some useful contributions from his team, including our CAPTAIN(REP), PATTU, IRFAN RAJ,to name some..HARI WARNE needs mention for scoring one of the many 6's of the match after playing 7 balls...he cleared the boundary with his trademark shot....
Today, we had some new faces too..including RV PONTING and SRI WATSON. With some good stroke play by IRFAN RAJ and WATSON, their team went on to score 47 runs,all out..
Then came the CABS team to bat, requiring 48 from 12 overs at a rate of exactly 4.00 per over,the cabs team went on to a flier...with some anonymous guy who made his debut today smashed some glorious shots to clear the boundary...
Then after his fall came Admin. Soon after the departure of SLOPPER(MANI), i joined Admin at the crease...and simply watched him play at the other end..the partnership seemed to take the team to victioy...and once Admin and I were out of consecutive deliveries, we had found a new bowling hero in McOFFICER..who is usually brilliant with his batting...then VIRU SEELAN flopped which is a rarity...and VASANTH LEE finished off the match..in style...Everyone else played their natural game..including MUKESH JONTY SINGH,who was in a fix to throw only on to the stumps, VARUN SINGH, PRAVEEN-ul-Haq and every other name i left(sorry others)..we all had another excellent outing...with the ball hard and bounce in the pitch..though batting was not easy..wicket keeping seemed to be more difficult..but the game had everything worthy of it to mention over here....we hope this support and dedication from the players continues in the days to come....
See you all in our next match................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CABS Cricket.....

The CABS cricket seems to have reached a different level... With 4 days of play in the last week alone(4 out of 5 working days)...there is a definite leap in the standard of the game...with rivals teaming up to occupy the Original pitch..the new pitch, cabs team discovered a less explored area of the campus and has now become its sole property...no one else to disturb the cabs team...lollz..

Nowadays, every match is high-scoring...the trend is different...there were times when neither could go past 40 runs in 10 overs..But now every innings sums up to above 60 in 10 overs..The match of the week is the one which drew with each team scoring 62 runs in 10 overs.. another remarkable improvement in CABS cricket is the brand new LIMITED OVERS TEST MATCH....the first episode of the match was played on Friday...and it proved to be action-packed...with the chasing team needing 4 runs from 2 balls it was the skillful VIRU SEELAN who hit the winning shot through the off side with a stunning shot from a good delivery from VASANTH LEE..another highlight of the week was one of the innings by none other than YOUSUF ...that was one of his best and that was a very brave knock....another match worth
mentioning here is the one in which our CAPTAIN(REP) hit 6's in 3 consecutive balls....

Other important batsmen of the week worth mentioning are HARI WARNE an MAHENDRA SINGH PATTU....for their knocks in several matches...and ofcourse our very own MUKESH JONTY SINGH is still awesome in the field and in his accurate throws....
The others name which are not mentioned here need not worry....its virtually impossible to mention everyones name here...thanks everyone for your dedication, hard work and sportmanship and above all for your determination to play by bunking classes..lollz...we hope to take CABS cricket to a different dimension in the days to come...thanks for your cooperation...
