I know its been a long time since i've blogged! Again i shamelessely have some excuse or the other to come up with. Was busy with work, blah... blah... blah... Ok let me get to the intention behind this blog. We have something called the employee club at our work place. The employee club organized a Cricket tournoment, I was neither that excited about cricket tournoments nor am i a great cricket fan! well i still started practicing my bowling action, i got stuck with a muscle pull. Then, as the days went by, the de day arrived when we had to face our opponents! It was on a beautiful saturday morning 9th of May 2009. We hit the ground at J.P nagar. It was our turn to bowl. Snaps of the team were taken , we were all set with our team jersey's on. I'd rather say we were all flashy and well known as the defending CHAMPS!
As usual , our lucky captain Animesh lost the toss and we were put to field. Our bowling dint go that well, it was a 8 over match. Thanks to some poor bowling, we allowed the oponents to make 74 from 8 overs. Now it was our turn. All i could remember is my colleague's words. "The Game Is Not Over Till We Win" Sarkar and Omar our usual suspects, opened the batting for us. Bang Bang! Sarkar made 26 out of the first over. I felt ah! its gonna be a piece of cake! Next came omar he dealt with 6's as well. I even heard someone say send that ball to Kashmir Valley! So towards the end of the 5th over we were HOME! yeppie yeppie we WON!
Next we had to play with another team to be in the quarter finals! They were called some Raptors. Oh in the entire conversation i even forgot to metion our Team name we are called "DBA DASHERS". Again not to mention, we lost the toss. Our bowling was quiet descent this time. Still the Raptors Managed to make 76 in overs.Thanks to some misfields and extras! it was our turn now. Sarkar gave up this time with a caught and bowled by the bolwer in the very 1st over. We were all nervous. We had some ray of hope when Omar our star batsman dealt with 4's. Some poor fielding from the opotion saved the day! I heard someone in the ground hey, which team is this ? i've never heard of em before. One of thier team mates replied. Relax jackass, these guys are the defending CHAMPS for the past 2 years! That to me, was pure neglection to have your GK right! The match went on we were lucky enough to survive, we made it in the 7th over this time. The day ended Hurray! we were in the quater finals! It was rather a refreshing day and somthing different from the usual work. We were all delighted we felt like we were unbeaten. A replica Australian Cricket Team!
The Best of All these was our team mate Rushikesh getting his finger hurt for an uncaught catch which was really not a part of the match. Pratap our team mate takes a catch and throws up in the Air, Rushi the man who was excited tried to get it and in the process he broke his finger. Wola ! who can do that except for Rushi!
