Virender's Blog-2008

It was the match of my life played last saturday for my club team.

The wkt was wet and full of grass ideal for bowling first.

we lost the toss and were told to bat first and lost our opener early on and then the other 2 batsmen batted very slowly trying to compromise the swing and fast bowling.
we were 40 runs by 15 overs and after the fall of 2nd wicket.

the 3rd wkt felled in 17th over...i was surprisingly told by captain to bat at number 5 and i was very excited.

Before going to bat there were lot of things in my mind as to how i progress my inngs...but one thing i told myself is i will watch the ball and will bat accordingly... not defend and then slowly build up my inngs....

I batted very well with the number 4 batter...took our team score to 120+ runs...i was out of a good delivery...was very sad as i was batting really great...

my captain later on scored 39 runs and i was second highest 32 runs....we made 182 runs in 40 overs all out...

the opposition was bundled out in 120 runs....i took 1 wicket as well....

overall this inngs has re-build the batting potential in me and i was very very happy becoz i had also hit 2 sixes in my inngs...and good cover drives and straight drives as well...

hoping and preparing to make such good contribution to the team...
