The weekend gone by and crikeet :)

Last weekend our cricket team did have a mixed luck. But then we were extreme with our performances. Saturday we did play some crappy cricket with the bowling, fielding and batting all having a confused look. We seemed to have no clue what was happening as Genpact the opposition was hammering away as they batted first. Some loose bowling and pathetic fielding saw they attain 229 in 25 overs! I know, that is shameful.. :( I'm looking for some cover as i say this to hide my face. ;) As i went to open the innings for my team with my partner only thing that was running in my head was the score we needed to chase. Pretty shaky and stuff with lot of score to get, i was playing shots no where near to the ball as it swung out and out. 5 dot balls later, i was snicked a ball outside off stump playing a bad shot to a swinging ball. :( And a long walk back to the pavilion and later, i saw my team crumble for 140 runs! :( Pathetic.

The next day was a lot better as this sense of "we should win" came over us. We arrived late not lot but some 5 minutes late for he match. It looked sunny and bright day and the afternoon was getting hotter. We were put to field by our opposition. They had a bad start with our pace bowlers all over them. And we did see the couple of batsmen quickly come and go. 8 overs later they crumbled and having lost 6 wickets with not so respectable 40 runs on score card. The weather suddenly changed to overcast conditions and down fell the first few big drops of rain. As i looked into the sky as to see if this would stop, it started badly as if all the trouble was not only for the opposition but for us. With the rain playing spoil sport, the match was called off as the ground was more or less a collective puddles of water here and there. So there, what looked like a easy win with the MakeMyTrip team was spoiled for us by the rain God. :(

So we went packing for the day....



And with no other work to do with the coolness of the atmosphere, we did this :



And ya, the good news after all this is that we are to play in the finals of the tournament with the Genpact team :). How? We won a match and drew a match there by loosing only 1 out of the three matches we played. Our run rate is better and that got us a berth in the finals. Wish us luck for the match this Saturday :)
