I played the first cricket match of this season for the University of Cincinnati Cricket Club today. It was a practice game in the build-up to the Midwest Cricket Tournament 2005. We played against Wright State University and it was a home game for us. It was expected that we'd win the game but the convincing manner in which we won it was very satisfying.
Having put in to bat first, we managed to score 207 in 30 overs. I did not get to bat. In reply, WSU managed just 73 runs and were all out in 15.1 overs. I managed to take 2 wickets in the 3 overs i bowled with the new ball. It wasnt a "great" match personally, but the manner in which every member of the team played his part to perfection was adorable.
We should be playing 3 more practice games before the tournament begins and hopefully atleast a couple of them against good teams. Am very much looking forward to those games and this season.

sudh- yeah :(. Our 7th wicket partnership was 58 runs and 9th wicket partnership was 41 runs! illenaa, i'd have got some batting :P.
k7- i generally bat anywhere from 7 to 11. This game we had a 13 member team(11 bat, 11 field) and i batted at number 11. We lost 9 wickets and i went in to be the non-striker for just one ball...so did not get the strike! We managed to run two runs off that ball...
