Thanks Ganesh and Anand for your excellent post match reviews, analysis & summing up. You guys have a very bright future post your marine careers in the sports media field.
Congrats Desi , Nandu and all our fellow Aquilians for your fantastic perfomance. Lets follow this with another convincing victory next weekend to storm into the finals. Lets not get complacent and end up chewing our finger nails and banking on the net run rate to go through.
Nandu am available in town to play the next match.
Wish you a great day.
Cheers
Srini

>Dear All,
A day to remember for the Aquilan's while a day to forget for the Aurigan's.


The 24th afternoon was
not so different from the morning, pitch was with good bounce on one end and
two paced on the other, slow and the ball was certainly not coming onto the
bat.


Aquilans won the toss and
elected to bowl against the strongest batting team and most obviously the
tournament favorites. Ranjith opened the innings along with Nandakumar for
Aquilans while Sudarshan and Arun opened the batting for Aurigans.The first 2
overs were quiet, the 3rd delivery
of the 3rd over went crashing into the cover fence like a tracer
bullet, however Arun hoisted the very next ball into the sky which went in the
extra cover region instead of the intended Mid wicket / Long on region , Ganesh
took the skier covering a decent distance from Mid off on re-bounce, the crowd
and the fielder were left stunned as a catch of such order was supposed to be a
regulation 99 drop, out of 100.The Aquilans went twice lucky as Nishanth
pulled a stunner at midwicket to send the dangerous Ramesh back to the
pavilion. The team was disappointed and to add more salt to the injury, Madhan
ran himself out pushing the ball straight to the fielder at covers. Nandakumars
pick and throw reminded Azharuddin in his hey days.The 3 wickets which fell under
8 overs put some sort of pressure though the run rate was pretty healthy and
the score for the Aurigans read 52/3 after 8 overs.

Sudarshan was taking the attack
back to the opposition with his copybook drives, cuts and pulls leaving the
bowlers unhappy and clueless before getting deceived by a straighter one from
desikamani that skidded through and hit him plumb right below the knee roll to be
adjudged LBW.



The match was evenly poised during
the drinks break with Aurigans at 79/4 in 15 overs with Chandramouli and Umesh
at the Grease and whole lot of talent players in the dug out.The 17th
over was the most productive and also the turning point of the match, though 9
runs were taken of Ganeshs bowling Umesh kept running not wanting to listen to
his partner and ran himself out trying to steal the extra run of a misfield
from Senthil at the sweeper cover position.This opened the flood gates as the
rest of the batsmen barring chandramouli in the team committed Harakiri and
were back in the pavilion without putting up any sort of fight.The Aquilans
were all over Aurigans in quick time, the spin work by Desi and Ganesh was too
hot to handle by the Aurigans as wickets fell like nine pins. Chandra, Anand, Viswanath,
Satheesh & Shivram all of whom have their natural talent could not retrieve
any of those from their archive to bring about some change to the outcome of
the match.The Aurigans from a comfortable 91/4 after 17 overs got bowled out for
101 in 22 overs.


Desi was the pick of the bowlers scalping
4/9 in 5 overs, while Ganesh picked up 2/12 in 3 overs.Ranjith and Nandakumar
picked 1 wicket each and two excellent runouts completed the batting scorecard.When during Mid
innings break the
strategy by the Aquilans was to play sensibly and to win the match with a
decent runrate but what transpired into Desis mind when he was at the 22 yards
was entirely different.


The Aurigans opened with Aravind
and Anand duo while the Aquilans opened with Desi & Viswanath,Some good
calling, excellent running and the customary extras that were given by the
Aurigans hurt the team badly and by the end of the 4th over when
Viswanath got runout in a rare mixup, Desikamani went on a rampage and made mince
meat out of the Aurigans bowling. The match ended inside 10 overs which as per
MOSC statistics an all time recor. Desi scored 59* of 28 balls, the complete
dominance has put Aquilans at the top of the table with an unmatchable runrate
while Aurigans are languishing at the bottom with 2 points and a very
unhealthy runrate. Viswanath vaidyanathan was the only bowler who got the lone wicket
of Shanmugam for 32 in 3 overs.


The Aurigans are now aware that
they will have to beat the Arians by a very high margin to have any chance of
entering into the finals with the 1st match being abandoned due to
rain and the points shared.


Lessons learned


The slam bang T20 cricket and 30
over match are totally different. Talent alone cannot bring about the required
results; the ability to adapt to changing circumstances as the game progresses
is the key to winning. Clear doubts crept if any real analysis was made of the
game or had any plan was ever formulated of which bowler to target and when.Since the ground
being reasonably
big and with the relatively slow nature of the outfield, singles and twos were
the only way to build a par score. None of the Aurigans barring Sudarshan and
Chandramouli understood the game in its true nature.


Aurigans must wake up from their dormancy, lift
their game up and play positively to ensure they now put up a strong fight with
the other teams to enter the finals. Aquilans must not get carried away and
play well against Antilia which again has a bunch of youngsters who could play
the waiting game and a lot of talented seniors whose absence was compensated by
the young rising stars. Let us hope the next week brings the teams closer in
the points table and the net run rate comes into play.
Warm regardsGanesh
