Hawkes Vs. Mavericks (RS2-10/23/11)

Kudos to Aditya for writing this wonderful article.

Fall season Second game for Hawkes,much Awaited game as we know that we are playing with one of the good teams in our pool,Mavericks.

A sunday game , Hawkes was the visiting team and Starting from the first , we lost the toss and

fielded first in a wet outfield which was a blessing to our opposition. Don and Swamy opened the bowling with a decent start and picked up 1st wicket at 3rd over and started to build pressure on batsmen with a little bit of support from fielders. After the first spell by both the opening bowlers its turn for Sagar K and Sreenath compelled each other well with some slow balls and picked wickets and after the first 10 overs we restricted them to 47 for the fall of 3 wickets which was quite good with some decent bowling.Then after Sreenath continued to deliver some outstanding deliveries and finally gifted with wicket of the first ball after the mid innings break.But unfortunately we lost some rhythm in the bowling and with some poor performences on the field due to dew we lost the way and the opposition capitalized on it and started to build some partnerships and began to cut loose in the final stage of their innings with some mis hits and good shots which sailed the team score to 119.

The first target of our team is to get a decent score in the first 10 overs. Asintha and Parijath opened the innings steadily and slowly felt the pressure. Parijath tried to punish a bad ball but failed to connect it a bit and was out.From there on Asintha was the man to guide the team with his Monstrous Hits but was runout due to the communication between him and Murali who also supported Asintha and made an Useful Contribution. After 10 overs reached a decent score but lost too many wickets. And each batsmen lost their way on course of scoring some quick runs which finally resulted in loosing quick wickets leaving Srini undefeted who gave maximum efforts to push the score .And disappointingly Lost the game by huge margin. But few good points are the efforts made by Sreenath for his beautiful bowling AND Fielding of both Swamy and Sagar in the out field.

We just keep this game back of our minds and try to focus on our job and onceagain try to fall in winning Streak with the very following game coming on 30th October.

ALL THE BEST TO OUT TEAM...GO HAWKES AND PROVE OUR METTLE.
