Good game fellas

Somehow or the other, Venkat (Singapore head coach) called me up to play for General Electrics (GE) in the corporate league!!! haha. So I had my first game today with them on a totally horrible pitch that was water logged. The ball was STOPPING on is way to the batsmen, and timing pretty much went out the window during our batting innings. What did annoy me is the reluctance of the other guys in my team to double the singles. The throws of the fielding team were horrendous so why not double it? Sure you're 40+ years old, doesn't mean you can't run 22 yards a second time! I hit 22 of abt 30 balls with one HUGE 6 thrown in. haha. Felt good putting that ball out of the park. Right Bala? hahahaha.

Our bowling innings was a bit screwed up I guess. The pitch had dried up nicely, so the guys from Chameleon (what the hell? is that a company?) found it easy to time the ball. I bowled a decent first over, barring the last ball where I lost my footing got smacked for 6. next 2 overs of my only yielded 6 runs each because the field was spread out and singles were easy pickings. One over bowled by this "spinner" from our team lost the game for us. He gave away 30++ runs in that damn over, which had about 3 or 4 sixes in it. Quite nonsensical.

More importantly, it felt really really good to play cricket though. I was pretty happy with my batting!!! By the next game I play for them, I'll improve my medium pace bowling. haha. Maybe pick up a few wickets next time.

Great great day.

Cheers!
