More Cricket...

We had our second practice game on the 15th of May, 2005. This time we had a formidable opponent in Columbus Cricket Club(CCC). It was again a 13 on 13, 35-over game where 11 get to bat(actually all 13 batted in the end although the score when the 10th wicket fell was what was taken into account) and 11 field. Our captain lost the toss for the second time in a row and this time the opponents decided to bat first. The venue was a neutral one- Dayton(since the weather was bad at Columbus and there was a game scheduled in Cincinnati). I did not get to open the bowling this time since i bunked practice on friday. It was only in the 8th over that we were able to make a breakthrough. I bowled overs 9, 11, 13, 15 and 28 and got 2 wickets. We managed to get them all out for 91 in 27.5 overs. My figures were a very satisfactory 2/14 in 4.5 overs(it was 2/18 in 3 overs last game). We managed to win by 3 wickets. We were 73/2 only to find ourselves suddenly struggling at 81/6. I went in to bat for a few balls after the chase was over. We gave ourselves a virtual target of 30 runs in 4 overs after the chase was complete and managed only 21 in the end. In the end, it was a good game. Our bowlers bowled 44 wides in their total of 91, which needs serious attention. I bowled *only*(it'd have been too much on any other day) 4 wides though ;). The batting looks a little shaky as usual, but it's always been the bowlers who have won games for UCCC. So, that wasn't much of a surprise. Two more weekends to go before midwest tournament begins.
