Great match. Sehwag blasted the Banglas and redeemed us for the 2007 fiasco
San Diego Cricket Association - Game 1 vs SDSU
San Diego Cricket Association
We won the toss and elected to field. They started off very aggressively on a fast outfield. Average scores on CSP1 has
been around 170 this season (and 218 being highest), so we knew there was a big target in store but I expected more pressure
on them from our excellent bowling lineup. Overall, we did not bowl up to our potential with plenty of boundary balls. Sampath, Ashish, SidS and Boopathi bowled well in patches. They played very well too since they had a big batting lineup and could slog from the first over. They got 179/20 overs. Satish Mani kept very well.
On the batting front, we did very well with most batsmen contributing and playing disciplined innings. We went in
with lots of bowlers and few batsmen, but I was happy with the way we chased. Rahul and Amit got us to a good start
of 40 in 7 overs. SidK played with the middle order and it was 110 after 16 overs with still a slight chance of taking it
home. Mansoor then went berserk and hit cleanly to bring us within 20 runs.
San Diego Cricket Association - Game 3 vs Gladiators
San Diego Cricket Association
Again we won the toss and decided to field because the outfield and mat were both wet.
We did not start well with the bowling with Sampath's swing costing him a few wides.
Then, Gopal started pinch-hitting and hit Amit for a few in his first over. They reached 75 odd in the first 10 with no wickets lost.
The second half, we clawed back with Rahul and Bhoopati taking key wickets of Hafeez and Ashraf.
Gopal was runout by a direct hit from SidK. Then, Anees and others could not force the runrate and they posted only 127.
We lost 4-5 quick wickets initially and were in direstraits. SidK and Ram put on a partnership and steadied things. We were 63 after 10 overs. Sidk chased a wide ball soon after and was out for 34.
Still needing 60 odd, Moghe played well and took us within reach. We folded for 111 with 2 overs to spare.
