STMicro vs IOC : Suntan Cup'05
There's something about Mudit that defies common reasoning. Despite being deprived of batting, knowing that he will not get to bowl, he raced around the park, fielding the ball, like a man possessed with an aura of Aeolus. Like a pouncing warrior, like a selfless soldier, like a tireless commando. Playing for pride .. perspiring for win. This defines the common denomination of the ST cricketer psyche. With blue blood in their veins, they don't want any intruder to paint the canvass of their destiny . They are the fourteen slaughterers of ST cricket team.
In a new season of cricket, with a new captain onboard , with a renewed vigour and verve.
Playing with IOC for the first match of 11th SUNTAN cup , the lineup included four debutants; Ankur, Anuj, Nitin and Chandra. The commandments from the captain Bharat was clear. Unbridle your mind. Play with discipline .. play for pride .. perspire and persevere. With nonstop badgering the openers Bharat and Lokesh gave an astounding opening partnership of 150 in 18 overs. Lokesh has grown from strength to strength in stature . From being on the fringes for all of last season , given the chance, he grabbed it with an authority of a Greek monarch.. and conquered.. . With 80 runs (70 balls) studded with 11 fours when he retired into the pavilion the opposition could only think of loss and applause. Bharat, with his quintessential candid flamboyance carved a quick fire 76(52 balls) hitting 9 fours and 2 sixes on the way through . Das played a cameo knock of 31 (21 balls) to ensure that the target reaches 203 in the assigned 25 overs. A sense of purpose and urgency was imminent as he struck the balls fearlessly and fiercely through the covers and over mid on.
The IOC openers did ruffle a few feathers when they scored with abandon to reach 80 in 10 overs. At one point of time IOC was 132 for 2 in 17 overs. AND THEN RAJESH NARWAL STRUCK. With a brilliant 'caught and bowled' , he began what can only be termed as a "spell". With the cunning craft of a conjurer, he demolished them to annihilation picking up 5 wickets . Ably supported by Sudip , a trifle unfortunate not to pick any wickets as 3 chances went down on his bowling. Ankur in his first spell for team ST took 2 quick wickets , one of them off the very first ball he bowled. Vij also bowled miserly and claimed two wickets . IOC ran out of fuel and folded up at 142.
The beginning is with a bang. But the rule of game denies the pleasure to bask for long. With the commandments in mind and commitment in heart, is it this time to get SUNTANNED !!!
