Its getting rosier.. isnt it :) 4-0. We have been following the script perfectly like any other season... winning the first few games handsomely :)
Another nice day for the game of Cricket. Anurag went in for the toss and he lost it J. We were asked to bat on a high scoring ground.
BellevueBoyz Innings – 124/4 in 16 overs. Madhav – 40+, Amit – 20~, Anurag – 20~, Rajiv 15~, Hitesh – 15~
Hitesh and Madhav opened the innings.. They again had a solid opening partnership scoring 6 an over, hitting the ball all across the ground.
Pi bowlers had their moments with some deceptive bowling, but were not able to make any breakthroughs till the 7 over.
Hitesh was the first one to get out after scoring around 15~, trying to up the run rate.. Amit came in next..
What followed was a spectacular show of batting from Madhav and Amit.
Madhav played almost every shot he could today ( cover drives, pulls, square cut, glance to third man, straight down for 6)..
Amit also joined the party , played some nice boundaries. Together they both accumulated around 40 runs in next 5 over.
Amit got out next caught behind the stumps.. Rajiv walked in with the score around 75..
Madhav was finally out stumped, trying to up the run-rate. Rajiv continued the good batting display and scored few boundaries including a 6.
Anurag and Rajiv took the score to over 100 playing shots all around. Anurag was out in the last over not before playing a good hand.
Overall, an excellent batting display led by Madhav and for the record, the highest score by BB (Correct me if I am wrong)..
However, we always knew this would be high scoring game and we will have to put up a good show in bowling as well.
Pi Innings – 91 all out in 15.5 overs
Hitesh opened the bowling with a tight first over. However, the PI batsman then started scoring freely.
Being a flat pitch and a fast ground, it was always easy to get 5-6 runs an over. They lost the first wicket at around 36 in 6th over…
One of the PI batsman – Ram played some good shots all across the ground.. and PI accumulated some runs in the mid overs.
However, the equation soon started to change. They started losing wickets at regular intervals.
Rajiv collected 4 wickets, Mahesh grabbed 2 and Dinesh grabbed 1 , helped by some tight bowling by Hitesh ( 4-0-15-0).
Nice fielding effort by the complete BB team. And as usual, good keeping by Saurin, grabbed a sharp catch…
At the end, the total scored proved too high and PI was bowled out for 91.
Not sure on the bowling figures of the remaining bowlers, so wait for the scorecard to be updated on the ARCL site.
We got 25 points. Good team show.. keep it going guys…
Excellent performance by Rajiv with Bat and ball and ably supported by Madhav and the other crew :)
