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.
