Atlast, some cheer moments in life. We humiliated a team to core today(MPL cricket). Losing the toss, we were put to bat first. Shilpa n Sushma opened the innings and scored 12 from two overs. Oh my, these girls scored 8 runs by running btw the wickets..includes a couple also. Then guys came in, we changed the batting order and we sent Anubav n Prasun. Both gave an excellent start and made a solid partnership of 70 runs. Anubav scored 43 and prasun accompanied with a well made 30. So finally, at the end of ten overs the score tickled 106.
Then their girls opened the innings, we knew that it's an uphill task for them, but we wanted to really keep it tough on them. Their girls were out in the first over itself with the score of 4 on board. Then came their men, its now 103 from 8 overs. Aswath started the bowling attack and gave 1 run in his over. Then came Anvar, he kept it very straight outside the off...and batsman were not able to make any runs. Meanwhile they lost couple of wickets, one run out and one keeper catch.
Fifth over bowled by Sudeep and i took a catch in that. There are couple of incidents were i really dived\floated n took catches. This was one such, the ball was spinning in the air and going behind my shoulders. I started moving back and then made a turn and saw ball is couple of foot away from me, then i donno what happened but i just stretched my hand and was in air for couple of seconds and took that catch...then rolled on the ground..oh my...that was very satisfying !!!! i just cant believe it and i was damn soooo happyyyyyyyyyy !!!!
Then it became a one sided match with the opponents trying to score runs and getting out. finally they were 36 all out. We convincingly won by 70 runs and were happy !!!!
PS: why this much desperation over the opponents ? well, their captain umpired one of match and turned the results upside down...wanted to thrash him there but then we did that in todays match ;)
