After a long gap, finally SPL Royal Challengers (hereafter referred to as SRC) completed their 2-match successful series against VSSC Team at Colony Ground on 26 Feb 2011 (Saturday).
Firstly, my genuine request to all the players that - let them check their body parts. Count the legs, hands, fingers....and move their legs in 180 degree angle. Formally, SPL is likely to permit half day medical off to non-injured players also. Quite against the outside pitch conditions, SRC players got adjusted to pitch and weather conditions. Extra bounce and Durban pitch did not trouble any of the batsmen (as they did not stay for more than a couple of balls). In the absence of any other nomination, once again the burden of captaincy was given to Subbu (Sr.) and maintaining his track record, he lost both the tosses (100% consistency). And with no hesitation, the opponent captain opted to bat first in both the innings. First Match (First Innings Highlights): All the bowlers did accomplished their tasks to the dot perfection. Kishore's magical spell produced a series of wickets. Trivandrum ARFI Express (Arun) was superb with his line, length and speed. Sobhan and Subbu (Jr.) combination produced good overs. Consistent Dhoni (Sonal) kept wickets quite nicely. First Match (Second Innings Highlights): Slow and steady start with subsequent wickets. One of the forgettable understanding between Subbu (Sr.) and Jai costed Jai's wicket. Sr. Subbu remained mere a spectator standing on the non-striker end seeing all wickets come and go. Match came to an end bit early than expected. Second Match Highlights: Once again SRC bowlers keep a check on opponent team and got regular wickets. Run rate piled up with due completion of all the bowling. Second inning saw one of the HELICOPTER shot from Jai who opened the innings. Madhav showed quite STABLE and CONSISTENT batting while Sobhan continued hitting at the other end. Abhinow Alok lost atleast 130 calories during his 3-run parternership with Sobhan. Tired Team of SRC still maintained its winning streak and played till the end. There was quite a heroic knock from Arun, which probably went unnoticed but produced respectable score. Kiran also bowled a memorable over at the end. At the end of the match, team discussed its positive points and flied back to their places. Overall, a superb performance from SRC. Kudos to all.....
