Week 4 Round up:
Thank God i didnt predict anything last time around...cause the matches had unusual results. But one thing has stood out...with all the euphoria around Hunters has died down..and they are on their familiar ways..
Match 1:
Chargers v/s Raging Bulls:
Raging bulls have almost relinquished their semi-final berth with some atrocious game. Losing a game is one thing...and loosing to the Chargers is a completely different thing. Chargers finally stopped their Juggernaut :) and managed to win much to their own amazement. Raging bulls never looked like winning...gettin out to some harmless full toss deliveries...and registered the lowest score of this seasons ACL. 45 was definitely not a defendable score. Once predicted as a serious title contender...this team may end up at the bottom of the table. with no specific credit to neone...Chargers have finally realised they can win...and are now envisagin another upset this friday against Vandals...all i would say is...watch out hunters...u may go down again :)
Match 2: Hunters v/s Anacondas
Considered as a strong bowling unit, Hunters bowlers were all over the place. 17 extras cost them the match, cos 81 is quite a defendable score. Mushkil and the Dude batted sensibly to get the score some respect. with the bowling gone completely awry...the Anacondans chased confortably..and have sealed their semis berth. With a match left against Supernova, they wud want to finish on a high. Looks like the Dude is only fit for Fielding and nothing else.
Match 3:Supernovas v/s Vandals
Many touted this as a grudge/revenge match. No match in ACL polarises the crowd as much as this clash does. Supernovas decided to bat and with some lusty hitting from Hey Ram in the begining, the Vandals were dreading a repeat of last years semis. But that was cut short, after Hey Ram attempted a Switch Hit pull, wich got him six earlier, proving to be his demise. he was bowled and Vandals were seen celebrating...but with some sensible batting from Innuendo( he finally gets some mention after the Neelaami) and Hammer-Deep, the Supernovans managed 75. So-near-a-ban got out the first ball for the nth time in ACL. but Turbo again proved to be thorn in the flesh...and he managed to take the attack single handedly to the opposition. much like last years league match between the 2 opponents. but that was not to be. with tight bowling...and some innovative fielding by Mrityunjay( who didnt take but embraced a catch :))
the Supernovans won a thriller....
Final Week of the round robin match is on...with everyone except Raging Bulls and Supernovans, have just one match to play. Hunters, Raging bulls and Chargers will fight tooth and nail to get the last semi-final berth. Supernova have almost ensured their berth atleast.
