Tarzan won the toss and had no hesitation in electing to bat first.. Once again a new opening pair is being tried in this match and the debutant PaulNixon couldn't do much as sid got him cheaply and Vaibhav got the price wicket of Tarzan.. Suddenly CW were 25/2.. Then Came Lefthander and joined his opening partner of the last match Ashwin... They both batted carefully without playing any aggressive shot and the scoring rate was slow.. The pair added 146 runs for the third wicket and lefthander was out for 57 runs from 195 balls, Sid the bowler... Then ledzep the hero of the last match scored only 24 runs before getting out.. On the other hand Ashwin batted very slowly and got to his hundered and was finally out for 125 runs from 315 balls a slow innings which might effect the result of the game... Tarzan finally declared on the score of 307/5 from 145 Ovrs.. Wildwil and WC remaining unbeaten on 38 and 37 respectively...
Counter Warriors batted slowly so if Ramblers wanted to win this one they needed to make sure that they score more briskly than Warriors.. The new opening pair of Aamir and Ursonly came to crease and were confident right from the first ball and they played sensibly and punished the loose deliveries.. It never looked like any bowler can get them out they batted brilliantly and brought up their centuries and looked like getting a Double.. But then a superb delivery from iloveireland spurn sharply and took the edge and WC took a brilliant catch and Aamir was finally out for 125 runs from 255 balls and a excellent opening partnership of 278 runs came to end... Then suddenly Warriors bowled extremely well can came back into the match by picking up 6 wkts for just 79 runs.. Ursonly the debutant played magnificantly for a brilliant knock of 175 runs which came of just 360 balls.. Everyone on the ground gave him the standing ovation when he departed.. Then some contribution by Sid and Shantanu helped Ramblers reach 429 for 8 from 145 ovrs.. With a lead of 122 Runs.. It will be interesting to see how the Warriors play in the second innings with 2 full days play still left in the match...
On hard pitch, this is not surprising total. This is batsmen pitch and it happened. I don't know how Vaibhav got my wicket but I took wicket of Viral .
No worry about this. The result will be draw but Warriors we have to win this and show them the lead is not enough for us. Good batting by Ashwiin and Lefty. PaulNixon, no need to worry. This is your 1st test and I am expecting more from u in next innings.
Good luck bowlers. I need something from you and that is wickets of Ramblers. Nailclaw has good wrist to spin.
I think i played slowly.. Need to play more aggresively and Tarzan has told to delcare with a target of around 300 Runs.. So lets give our 100% and give them a target of around 300 runs and win this one...
Tht was ok but could be better if could hit a double hundred. Anyways guyz it was great experience batting with Aamir the partrnership graph just have no ends to this !! ..
