Runwees Cup 2010

Friendship Series has given us a good understanding of ones' ability in bowling and batting. All those net sessions had finally been paid off. At one time during the Series, we thought we will be out of the race even before we begun.

However, the guys played well and we got back into the race by putting up some superb performance. One of the highlights of this series would be Adi's knock of 50 runs (his first fifty!) and KK's dedicated bowling. And even as a team, I think we have improved a lot. Our fielding has improved as well.

Even though we got knocked off in the Semi-finals, the way we carried on in the Friendship Series paints a true picture of how each one is committed towards their game.

On a personal front, I was unable to play some of the crucial matches in this series and that is what I regret most. Anyway, I hope that I will make myself fully available for the team and help them win more matches in the future.

And some interesting statistics our players performance in Friendship Series:

Friendship Series | Third match | Frost Vs Runs n Wickets | Scorecard

Dear Runwees,

I remember talking about belief in my last email. Belief that we would win this match against Frost. I am happy to say that our belief translated into the most convincing victory that I have ever been a part of. The online link to the match is here:http://www.cmdn.com/scores/RUNS-AND-WICKETS-vs-FROST-6137

Just reading the scorecard (pdf attached) gives you an impression of the way we dominated the opposition right from the word 'go'. The best part of the scorecard to me is the "Worm chart"! :) Pick your favourite section.

Factors that inspired me in our victory:

The way KK bowled (sophisticated brains with raw pace peppered with short ones and the slower ones added for taste! Rightly adjudged Man of the Match in the scorecard. He is my choice too!), Tashi's support to him, Anba's wicketkeeping, Trio of DD-Bharath-Guna: bowled very well during the fag end of the innings and Kothand's mere presence (personally for me)! On the batting front, Anba's consistency has been a great inspiration. A half-century from me is merely an offering in gratitude to all these things that inspired me.

The team spirit is really good. We are peaking at the right time. Let us win the series. Go RnW Go!

Love,

Adi.
