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.
