Another weekend with forecast of showers in the afternoon...but even that could not hold the cricket loving enthusiasts inside the house. None from Infy side turned up - mainly due to security threat (issued by weather forecasting department). Their key players were on trips outside Erlangen.
So with all-around-Siemy-folks, it was an internal battle inside Siemy. We played 3 matches.
Teams
Siemy-1: Madhu, Ajit, NLN, Ishan, Umakant, Anup
Siemy-2: Saket, Shrivatsa, Adi, Krishnan, Raj, Mukesh
Match 1:
Batting first, Madhu's team scored 50. Ajit was major contributor for his side. Mukesh's bowling came quite handy for Saket's team knowing the fact that he was out of game for 3 weeks. However, poor form of the batsmen kept haunting Saket and company and they lost the match.
Match 2:
Ajit continued with his batting form and contributed significantly for Madhu and co. to pile up 63 runs. Adi and Mukesh bowled expensive overs. Once again Saket's team were unable to chase the target from alotted 7 overs.
Match 3:
Saket won the toss and elected to bat first. Mukesh and Saket gave a stable and solid opening partnership (1st wicket fell in last over :). Team set a target of 54 in 6 overs for Ajit (Madhu's deputy) and company. None but Anup played some spectacular shots. One time it looked like he would snach victory from Saket's team but it was the splendid bowling performance by Krishnan that ensured victory for Saket and company.
POD (Players of the day):
Batting: Ajit, Anup, Saket
Bowling: Krishnan, Ishan, Anup
Fielding: Mukesh, ? , ?
