Today the Boys in Blue had a match with Chowdhary Group in the T20 Corporate Premier League Tournament. After the performance of their first match and the damage to muscles of the main players had made many think that the match would be a wipe out... but today the Boys played better-- batted better, bowled and fielded better too... even if it meant the main players, including Binoy and Will hobbled about.. Will for the entire innings...
Will and Binoy follow the CG team to the crease...
The day was a beautiful one.. with clear blue skies and a mild breeze...
Binoy with the bat. Today they had decided not to go for singles, rather concentrate on shots for boundary..
CG bowler in action as Will looks on...
After a few shots, Binoy was caught leg before wicket...
He gives tips to Krishna while heading for the pavilion...
Will and Krishna stayed on the crease for the remaining overs. Running less between the wicket and concentrating more on trying to send the ball beyond the ropes...
Will waits on the other end...
Dosro pramukh in action...
And here is how Will was hobbling,
Krishna on the pitch...
Will & Krishna celebrate the partnership of 50 runs
... huddle huddle..
Krishna drives...
... and taps...
Will lobs...
.. and sweeps...
All reflected in Balaram's glasses
Captain Binoy says,"With better fielding we could have won yesterday!"
Finally the target for the blue and yellow team to chase.. 116. Will and Krishna were both not out at 54 and 40 respectively
A Herculean task for the dosro pramukh
.. and his sarathi.. Krishna!
.. the official cameraperson.. with her hardware
lunch break for the team members...
.. and then back to the oval for fielding...
Will says he always does things and like things in 3s.. including the 3 paracetamol tablets he took before going to the crease!
Binoy guides his fielders
Sushil bowls from the pavilion end...
Krishna in the sidelines.. the new Ayurvedic campus in the back
Narendra ready for a catch
Binoy is the crouching tiger
... an appeal to the umpire
.. Sushil bowls again...
Will comes to cheer the team from the sidelines
The Boys in Blue were very slick with their fielding today.. except for the odd fumble...
Bibek chases a ball that slips over the ropes for a four
.. soon he knocks off the left stump... a wicket down...
.. celebration...
Team Manager Yendra is all smiles as he prepares to pump in glucose water to his players...
Bibek, the one with a wicket under his belt...
Junior Rana Magar on the other end of the field...
technical break for some drinks
Junior Sunar clicks his dad in action at the crease...
... of course he finds other things to click as well...
Will with commentators
Break time...
... then Will was invited to be a guest commentator...
... and he did a pretty good job!
.. Meanwhile the Boys in Blue battle on... here's Binoy behind the wicket...
Sushil's still at it.. trying to get a wicket...
Balaram waits for ball to come to him...
... Pradiumna on the side...
UNICEF support team 'neath the tent...
.. and before noon the game's over...
CG reached the total with the loss of just a single wicket...
.. the umpires head back for the pavilion..
.. and the Boys in Blue shake hands with those in red and yellow...
.. and that was the stint of Corporate Cricket for 2012 for the UNICEF Blues team...
