which one?

 

[RIZZYX]

1st wicket, the stumping.

 

[rishabh96]

That was a clear stumping. When I saw replays, it was clear out (atleast from my angle).

 

[rishabh96]

And winning against @RIZZYX is like dream coming true. I bowled with spinners for the first time and this gamble was very useful for me.

Wooohhoooooo!!!

 

[RIZZYX]

Totally outplayed there.

Well done Rishabh

Just kept losing wickets in aim of the big runs.

Few big blunders from me whilst batting too with leaving the ball by mistake a few times and losing a wicket as a result and also the footwork causing me to end up out of the crease after missing the ball and ended up getting stumped a few times. And finally a run out when hitting straight to the bowler Really need to sort out these errors and need lots of practice against spin.

Rishabh was not bowling any mystery spin but he bowled to his field very well and because he had the runs on the board he knew singles will not do it, hence i had to take risky shots and pay the price.

But over all, you scored too many for me to chase down, especially against all out spin attack. You surprised me there with the change of tactics from our last game so hats of to that.

 

[rishabh96]

I saw you playing so well against my pacers last time so I thought this is the time. I have to take some risk. Let's try spin attack because I have big target on board. Then first over by Tambe gave me some hope to try again with another spin and again it was a good over so decided to allow spinners only to bowl. Oh boy I didn't expect my spinners to bowl that well. I don't even know how to get 300+ RPM (Someone guide me please how to bowl at 1000 RPM). I guess I got home advantage here.

Scorecards coming in few minutes.

Yes it was the scoreboard pressure that got the better of me.

Had I been chasing 120 or 130, I could afford to just take the ones and twos and not take any risky shot. But chasing 9 an over meant really had to go for it. I kept finding the fielders on the fence with the air shots which was poor batting because there were plenty of gaps on the leg side.

Plenty of room for improvement for me.

This tournament has really opened up though, a number of guys and go on and win this.

Probably the most exciting match I have ever played till now. Still my heart is beating very fast. Top 2 position is crucial so I must try for that and its quite possible from here if I continue my form.
