Match Day-2

Whether anyone agrees wid me or not....but this time around...each team composition is better than what it was last time. Hunters and Chargers have assembled a better team and are playin good cricket.

It was a day of paisa vasool....

Hunters vs Chargers:

What a match...we were treated to some high class tense finish.Chargers won the toss and decided to bat....Dis-dain and Style Bhai-1 opened the innings and played quite well. Dis-dain dispatched the Dude( who was too over dressed for the ocassion) for 15 runs in the over...and the innings received its momentum...but that was to be short lived...with hunters picking the 2 openers of consecutive balls....Mr.Squeaky Voice( who has now employed a voice trainer) was dancing like a mad man. Then came Dushman...and gave innings the impetus it needed.with some brilliant mis-fieldings by the Hunters, Chargers made 92 runs. Hunters opened with RRC and Bansuri-walaa..they nudged and trudeged...and RRC asked for a break due to exhaustion....Mr.RRC, have something to say here...its becoming too familiar a tactic from ur side...pls refrain from doin this...do somethin innovative. When being denied a break...RRC went mad and started killing the bowlers.

Then came dushman...and bowled a good spell...and now...the equation was 12 runs off 8 balls..and the twist int he game....Dushman ran well and snarled two catches off successive ball and RRC and Mushkil were goners..left with no option, the dude had to come and bat...he took strike to dushman...dushman bowled to innocous deliveries...2 wides..but at the same time..2 wickets fell in that over too...with 7 required off 2 balls...dushman bowled a low full toss and dis was enuf for the dude to close his eyes and take a wild heave...and ball jus abt hit the boundary...and it was a six...crowd was stunned..this was least expected of the Dude..but well...he had to finish off the match...one off one..and the fielders were called in the ring...dushman bowled , the dude nudged and ran...and Style bhai-1 fumbled at mid-on and the match was gone for them...wat a scene it was...

Chargers are stil without a win in either seasons of ACL...heres wishing them all the best...


Vandals vs Anacondas:

Lucky escape wud be an understatement for Vandals...they almost ensured a defeate for themselves...but for some horrendous bowling and fielding Vandals managed to escape...and now thats becomin a trend for them. Anacondas batted first and batted sensibly in singles and 2s...Kaalizabaan couldnt control his instincts and holed out in the deep....then supari came and played a calm innings till he decided enuf is enuf and belted 16 runs off 3 balls of So-near-a-ban..and took him out off the attack...at this stage..anacondas were 54 off 6 overs..and looked set for a big score...but then Turbo came changed the complexion of the match....he took 3 beautiful wickets and Anacondas had to wind up at 75...not a formidable score...but it turned out to be a competitive score...

Vandals opened with Vindaloo and so-near-a-ban...and played quite well in the begining..but over-confidence was their undoing...both got out tryin to hit big....the following batsman did no good..and got out in similar fashion...with 4 of their batsman gone...it was left to frustoo madrasi to take them thro...he was clad in this silky green tshirt and looked everybit a southern superstar..and the stage was well set for him...vandals at this point required 30 off 30...and some clinical batting made the target smaller..but again the wickets fell....with the last pair on the wicket...Supari came on to bowl..and it was spin wat he tried...must say for a good fielder like him...he shud have taken that caught and bowled and wrapped up the match...but he dropped a sitter...and then a run out....Supari had indeed dropped the match...and Vandals had their ever familiar come from behind victory...

so pulsating matches dotted the Match Day 2....however we wud have loved to see Supernova and Raging bulls play...but am sure wenever they play...it will b worth a watch...

and ya...both my predictions came good....cheers... :)
