Hi Guys,

Well done on a monolithic win yesterday. Even though we were one short and had to play with 7 (not that Sunny can complain after batting twice) we looked solid and for a change, Sirish did hit the stumps few times (believe me it’s rare)

I’ll post on the blog as soon as possible but I have updated the stats on http://indoorcricket.vinaytripathi.com

There were some individual milestones achieved yesterday –

4-     Sunny reached to a total of 500 runs

5-     Rakshit got his first 5 wickets haul

PS: Rakshit, you need to teach our whole team your unique art of attempting sweep on a Yorker length ball J J

While we are still waiting for our wonderful blog writer (sirish) to shower some words on our last match performance, I thought why not I lead this time.

As expected, vibrant Vinay did contributed heavily with the bat scoring a brisk 30.

The pair ended at 48.

Now the total reads 119. Good performances from all the 3 pairs so far.

And our last pair (me & Sirish) only had to follow them & score at least 30 again.

We batted very prudently & never risked of getting out.

Our running between wickets was immaculate.

We end up making a respectable 35.

The best part of the pair, we never got out & neither of the batsmen scored a 3 or more.

A very good total to defend & with good bowlers within playing 8, the match was almost won.

But, their batsmen came out very strong with clever hitting & running.

Their first pair scored at a great rate & ended up making 47. We came back between 5-8 overs, conceding only 26.

The next pair scored 39. The last pair needed 43 to out past us.

Our captain did conceive the situation accurately & held the best bowlers till the end.

Vinay & Anuj gave away only 26 & sealed the victory for us.

A very good match which tested us till the end.

The cricketer was proud of his progress as a batsman and invited his mother-in-law along to watch him play, hoping to impress her.

At the crease, he turned to the wicket-keeper and said 'I'm anxious to do well and really hit this ball. That's my wife's mother over there.'

'Don't be silly,' said the wicket-keeper. 'You'll never hit her at two hundred yards.

A cricket enthusiast had three trays installed in his office labelled 'In' , 'Out' , and 'L.B.W.' .

A visitor remarked as he could see the significance of 'In' and 'Out' but what did 'L.B.W.' mean ?

And the cricket enthusiast replied : "Let the Bastards Wait."

Two aliens were visiting Earth to research the local customs.

They split up so that they could learn more in the time allowed.

When they met to share their knowledge, the first alien told of a religious ceremony it had seen.

"I went to a large green field shaped like a meteorite crater. Around the edges, several thousand worshippers gathered. Then two priests walk to the centre of the field to a rectangular area and hammer six spears into the ground, three at each end. Then eleven more priests walk out, clad in white robes. Then two high priests wielding clubs walk to the centre and one of the other priests starts throwing a red orb at the ones with the clubs."

"Gee," replied the other alien, "what happens next?"

"Then it begins to rain."
