Oh my God!! this was THE match that consists of lots and lots of twists and turns.. The second match between the CLOWNS and MAVERICKS. It was a pleasant day, and we the students were busy doing our record works. This time there was no hype for the match from the beginning. But it slowly raised as the day progressed towards evening.
Evening!!! Today we didn't go for having snacks. Everyone was in the ground( but BRR came late!!). It was the toss, but this time we Clowns lost the toss. Mavericks chose to bat 1st. As in the previous match Prabhakaran the Natamai bowled the first over. The Mavericks blasted to a flying start. We took few wickets but GJ and Nandha the bakery were playing nicely. We made the same mistake by bowling wides and no balls. Atlast we settled for a score of 110 in 12 overs.
The same opening pair for the Clowns, myself and Vaidhi. But this time Vaidhi took the strike as the target is quite high, 111 in 12 overs. First ball, Vaidhi plays it straight to the fielder and dashes for run, misunderstanding between Us . Result is I sacrificed my innings for the sake of team, 0 for 1. Then Dilli Babu the Big show came to play. I took the long walk back. We started losing quick wickets, but runs were coming on nicely. We were 32 for 4 in 3 overs.
Vinoth the balli came to the wicket. He played some nice shots through the off side. Dilli and Balli were playing nicely. I was made the by-runner for Dilli, so I made all the running part. Then Nandha came to the attack, Balli went for the big shot couldn't get it correctly, great catch by DK in the deep. Dilli-Balli partnership came to an end. Then Gopi went to the wicket. He played some shots and the score board was ticking. We reached 104 in 10 overs.
With just 7 runs required, Gopi got out. This over was bowled by Chandru the Gopal . He bowled a good line just gave away 4 runs. So we needed 3 runs to win off 6 balls. GJ came to bowl the last over. First ball SK the hero of 1st match got out.
3 of 5. Ram the rod took the strike. Edge and gone, two wickets in two balls. GJ the captain of Mavericks strikes hard. so 3 of 4. Then Vinodh the doll took the strike, pushed the ball gently and a flash they ran two runs. Now the scores are level, so its 1 of 2. Same ball, Vinodh nicks it to the keeper, gone. Now sai to face the last ball of the innings with just one run required. GJ on fire. 3 wickets in 5 balls.
GJ came dashing towards the wicket and bowled the last ball at a good length, everyone could feel the adrenaline rush at that moment. Sai edges it to the keeper and thats it 4 important wickets in 6 balls by GJ. Its a tie. We couldn't do anything, thats great bowling performance by GJ. The captain of Mavericks stood in front as an example. Great match ended in a tie. But the only hope is, We CLOWNS still lead the MAVERICKS 1-0. Thats the end of the great thriller... Waiting for another match like this...
