The True Cricket fan in me

We formed a Cricket team in our office and believe me we all await for saturday. Throughout the week we talk about the match between the teams and start the sledging even when we are at work. we Named ourselves lions. Thinking too much about my team and its ups and downs made me write about it too.This is a small narration of who we are and what we went thru recently... ( you can also find this in the www.bangalorecricketleague.com. Crazy arent we? we created a website too...)


The LIONS…A Bunch of Cricket Fanatics spearheaded by The Team Manager Navid Khan and Captain Praveen VasudevaMurthy. Having John, Muthanna, Rajesh, Adarsh and Bhanu Prakash as the Ace bowlers, the opponents really have a tough time in dealing their firing cylinders.Bhanu Prakash a professional Cricketer knows the fine distinction of the game and acts as a subordinate to the captain in setting strategies. His cover drives and text book pull shots are a Visual Treat for any cricketing Fan.Jomy Jose, a zealous encourager, keeps the stumps and cheers the team to find all the left out energy.Adarsh and Prabhu Ambrose are the opening batsmen, who face the raging bowlers with consummate ease and score runs for the team. Sudhanshu Arbol, the new kid to the team is a silver lining on the horizon. He played a cameo role that catapulted the score past 100 in the recent match against Bulls. His powerful shots made the fielders chase the balls, gave them a close look on how rapidly balls cross the boundary line, made them taste the frustration of chasing and being chased out of the game.This team is built on the Passion for the game and spirit of being winners. The recent match proved what the team is made of. Forget not, they tasted this victory by licking their wounds of the previous game that was lost horribly.
Rajesh Earned Hatrick Wickets.Sudhanshu Scored the fastest 25Prabhu scored 51* Not out with a Flamboyant six towards the off side.The cricketing Battle that we have now is no less in spirit on par with any international cricket that is played. The Lions are here to hunt their preys. Calculative, determined and ferocious they are.... Come, cheer the sportsmanship.
