Round 2 - Xtremely Xplicit -v- The Saints @ Xtreme Circle - Match on post #109

News update :
Xtreme Circles management has tightened security for today's live match. This highly anticipated match between the two favorites The Saints and Xtremely Xplicit has been plagued by media reports of a possible bomb thread. According to media, there has been several bomb threads made by so called Xtremely Xplicit fans. The most prominent one was "we will bomb the Xtreme Circle should our team loose ". Fans are also warned that no bottles will be allowed within the stadium and that no alcohol is allowed. This according to the Xtreme Circle's management is to prevent rowdy supporters from using bottles as projectiles, insuring the safety of the players on the field.

On a more positive note...
The winning team here will be leading the pack and be the early favorite to take the cup. Will Xtremely Xplicit's most expensive sign up Barry Allen @zwarrior live up to his teams expectations, or will the pressure get to him once more?

Highly rated media person, Poonisher from XYZ channel, asked captain of XX about the preparation for today's match. Ali responded "Today's match is very important. The team which wins will go to the top of the table and they will be the favourites to go into the finals. Preparation has been good. Each player knows his responsibility and everyone has worked hard. We have read our opposition well and we have planned our strategy for each of their players"

"How is your confidence level ? You have won the last match convincingly" Poonisher quickly shot out another question and directed to Ali.

"Yes. We won the last match convincingly. We are riding high with our confidence level. This doesn't mean we take the opposition lightly. We respect each opposition and we don't under estimate anyone. Each match is different and we have to play to our best to win it."

Poonisher asked Ali about a particular player, debutant to this league, Barry Allen. "How is Barry Allen coping up with the pressure of being involved in the highest rated league in the Cricketing world ? "

For this Ali smiled and said " He can answer this and turned towards his right."

Barry Allen came forward and spoke "Well, I am honoured to be a part of XX team and I couldn't have been involved in a better team than this. Obviously PCPL is huge and there will be pressure on everyone to perform well."

Poonisher said "Before I direct my question on other topics, I want to clear about a particular topic which is on everyone's mind. How does it feel to have a price tag of 'most expensive player' on you? Does this affect your performance ?

Barry Allen drank some water and replied "No. It doesn't affect my performance. It's just a number to me. And i haven't thought about it since the day of Auction. Whether "most expensive player" or " least expensive player", at the end of the day one have to give his best in the match. As simple as that. I might not have out shine in the recent warm-ups and the first match, but I would say that I am improving after each match. I am getting a lot of support from my team, especially from the skipper Ali and @Sodium . Bret Lee and Venkatesh Prasad are guiding me on some aspects of how to control my pace, line and length and most importantly to read the batsmen's mind and bowl accordingly. As far as the team is winning and I am contributing to it, I am more than happy. "

Poonisher nodded to Barry Allen and said "Thanks for clearing it up, Barry. Coming back to today's match, how is your preparation Saroj Padhy ? "
