CLNJ Practice game.
JECC bt Indians CC by 5 wickets.
Indians won the toss and batted first, scoring 147 (all out) in 33 overs. JECC got home comfortably in 30 overs and 5 wickets in hand.
Bowling: Everyone except Nagarjun, who was keeping, got to bowl as Murali gave everyone a good chance to bowl. The Indians CC batsmen weren’t threatening but stuck on as we kept leaking wides and no balls magnanimously. Other than that, the bowling was pretty decent with Rushi and Murali utilizing the new ball effectively and the follow up bowlers bowling to their field. A couple of run outs and some good catches wrapped up the innings for IndiansCC.
Batting: Myself and Vijay Mukherjee opened the innings but both got out cheaply after getting a good look in. Karthik, a tryout for JECC, put up a classy display with effective strokes all around the ground. He is a good find for us in the mold of Les, and can bowl well too. Nagarjun on the other end was batting very well too and got into form quickly with some big hits, scoring 30. We retired Karthik for 35, to give others a chance at batting after he scored a 60 run partnership with Naga. Rushi, Dhanu took us closer to the target and Sekhar,Murali finished it off in style with quick boundaries.
Overall a nice outing for JECC but we could use some disciplined bowling and energy on the field for the league games. The weather was cold and dull making the fielding difficult but still, a nice effort overall.
This win would take us with a high morale into the league matches starting next Sunday.

Match report: Practice game JECC vs Indus 04/11/2010 @ Far Hills
Match Report: JECC vs. Indus CC by Murali
30 over practice game played at our Home ground. Indus CC won by 20 runs.
Indus: 164/10 beat JECC: 144/10
Indus won the toss and chose to bat. They come in with their regular full strength team with (Prem Sanjay, Ashvin, Vishal, Vikram Nadig,Girish. ....). Put up 164 in 30 overs.
Bowling: Our first spell was tight and on the mark with Rushi and I opening the new ball. Rushi was as always unplayable.. up-rooted the stumps in his 2nd over. Sreenath and Asif were brought in for the 1st change and they did well. We had 10 bowlers in the game and everybody deserved a chance as it was a practice game..bowling was rotated and everyone got a fair chance and bowled 2/3 overs each to finish off. We did have some loose overs in the end...but it was okay and expected. (We gave 12 extras).
Batting: For a change, Sreenath opened our batting with Dhaval. . He did okay...faced Indus CC pace bowler with ease...Praneeth joined Dhaval in 3 rd over and Aript joined Praneet in next over. Praneeth batted well piked up right shots with nice drives and pulls. Dhanu and Vishal did great in the middle, both had great understanding and it was treat to watch Dhanu batting in his original form, he played all his favorite shots (sweeps, pulls and flicks)..Vishal too on the other side played really well. I joined Vishal after Dhanu was caught..Vishal & I did well together. Asif later joined me and played some nice strokes. We didn't give up, hung around and tried our best, Asif played some of his best shots.
Taking the positives from the game, though we lost the game, I feel we did okay in the batting dept. Out of 144 , 130 runs came in from the bat. (only 14 from extras). Overall,it is really a positive note going the season.
