\f0\fs26 \cf0 Sunday 13th July,\'a0RCC vs Anzacs at Shiloh\
\uc0\u8232 It was a bright sunny day and\'a0both the teams were in a good mood and raring to go.\'a0RCC won the toss and elected to field. Snooze started the proceedings from the parking lot end and was consistent in the very first over.\'a0Bade Nawaab\'a0was the next bowler to come in from the\'a0forest end and he maintained a exquisite line and length and kept on\'a0squaring the batsmen up. he was very unlucky to not get a wicket but he consistently maintained a strong line and length and kept the batsmen under pressure. soon enough\'a0Snooze caught the batsman sleeping and gave him a wake up call by\'a0cleaning up the opening batsman with his in swinging delivery\'a0which took the leg stump out of the\'a0ground and flying.\'a0Snooze sounded a little bit early than he was supposed to and\'a0struck yet again in his next over and trapped the other opening batsman lbw. In came the first bowling change\'a0Mr. Phulka\'a0and he also maintained a very\'a0strong line and length and kept the batsman\u8232 and the\'a0Chote Nawaab\'a0as well guessing!!! that's what\'a0Phulka is best at as we all know :) Light weight but heavy deliveries!!! soon he also joined the party and knocked off the\'a0middle stump with a inswinging delivery to get rid of the consistent Anzacs skipper Ketan Shah for a cheap\'a0score of 13 runs. and then Dhokla had eaten some protein Dhokla's in the morning and so couldn't keep his adrenaline in control and snatched the ball from Bade Nawaab and replaced him as the bowling change. Dhokla's protein showed off\'a0and he too got a clean lbw decision in his favor and joined the partayyyy!!!\'a0Dhokla would've got two but unfortunately the\'a0shortie that\'a0Chote Nawaab is missed a catch above his head\'a0and gave a important life to the batsman. The Gujju combo didn't work i guess!!! But\'a0the batsman didn't tickle the score much fortunately and\'a0was soon caught behind by\'a0Chote Nawaab\'a0of\'a0Phulka's bowling.\'a0RCC were smelling a nice fragrance of victory and\u8232 suddenly realised that it wasn't the fragrance of victory but it was the Khushbu\'a0that was smelling and he replaced\'a0Dhokla and boy oh boy!!!\'a0Khushbu spread all over and got rid of all the foul smell from Anzacs. He\'a0showed a sudden change of form and he bowled a spell that probably he will remember for\'a0quite sometime.\'a0Khushbu bowled 7 overs on the trot and kept getting wickets consistently. he\'a0ended up with 3 great wickets to get rid of the middle order and also at the same time was very miserly in\'a0giving runs.\'a0He showed what\'a0Spinach's kick on the ass can do!!!\'a0Spinachji i think u shud retire and be a counsellor or a Manager for the team now...hehehehe...ok joking now don't get emotional.\'a0Bade Nawaab got jealous and decided to bcum a part of the action and\'a0for a change(joking rafi sahab) contributed to the wickets and\'a0out of all the throws in the fielding that were sent back to the\'a0keeper, this one from\'a0Nawaab Sahab\'a0was spot on\'a0which\u8232 resulted in a run out.\'a0Dhokla had some more Protein and\'a0came in and bowled a excellent over yet again and got the last wicket which kind of raised a controversy and left the last anzac's batsman angry and retarded!!!\'a0Spinach as usual cudn't keep his butt out of the controversy and sparked another one and silently left the scene once it had started....hehehehehe.\u8232 In came RCC to bat and\'a0dono openers ne\'a0Phulke ki tarah Hilake shots khelna shuru kiya!!!\'a0Hilao was still hilaoing from the MCC game and showed what a great Hilaoer he is\'a0by being\'a0watchful and\'a0strong in defense as usual\'a0but at the same time\'a0kept picking the runs.\'a0Phulka was also being very watchful and wasn't being irrational and was\'a0getting himself to\'a0settle in before going gung ho!!! Unfortunately\'a0Hilao didn't move to a ball and\'a0edged\'a0it to the keeper which was a very very faint nick which the umpire wud've definitely given\'a0NOT OUT but\'a0he was determined to Hilao and so Hilaoed himself off\'a0of the wicket and\'a0showed ultimate sportsmanship and decided to walk and assist the umpire in his decision....WAH KYA HILAYA HAI..jai ho....next in it was time for the alarm to Snooze, the old stalwart and saviour for RCC and he joined\'a0Phulka and they both kept the runs flowing and checking their strokes and shots at the same time. RCC was cruising\u8232 along with Snooze keeping\'a0Phulka awake and\'a0showing\'a0that he can be a opening batsman as well and play himself in and Snooze showing his classy strokes and shots all around the ground. Suddenly\'a0a strong gush of wind came and Phulka got emotional and\'a0tried to hit a big one of the spinner and\'a0it got the bottom of\'a0his bat and was caught in the deep. In went\'a0Spinach who hasn't been as fresh on the market as he normally is\'a0but yet\'a0he was seeing the ball\'a0like a football and his feet were moving pretty nicely as well but\'a0just when he had scored 9 runs he mistimed a shot and it got the top edge of his bat and\'a0flew to the square leg fielder and was caught. In went\'a0Omlette (read: I m late)\'a0who had been a very hard egg to boil in the previous games and was struggling with his form and he was out there just to the right bowlers...the spinners....he played himself in with Snooze and let\'a0him do the scoring while he took the singles....and then\u8232 suddenly\'a0the egg boiled and started to crack and\'a0got itchy to hit a six of the spinner....which he eventually got and that was a huge one.\'a0The boiled Egg finally tasted nice and good!!!\'a0And then\'a0Snooze\'a0partnered with Omlette and they\'a0just played themselves in and got RCC home to a nice easy sailing victory.\'a0Snooze\'a0thankfully hadn't been snoozing in the middle and\'a0had been in there for so long it seemed as if he had scored yet another 50 but he scored 28 runs which were equivalent to a 50-60. Halki Phulki Khushbu fela ke Phulke ne kya batting aur bowling dikhai and Khushbu ne to jalwa macha diya....Jiyo Raniiiii. Kudos to both of you and keep up the great work.\'a0Snooze\'a0as usual keep up the great work that u have been doing....we hope your Snooze function goes haywire and you don't snooze at all and just keep ringing as we need u in as many games as possible.\u8232 Overall a great performance guys and thanks to Bhagoda for keeping up with the team and being so supportive unlike\'a0some people who were at MCC!!! But we still need to keep\'a0working hard in practice and in the field especially on our throwing and fielding abilities and skills. we need to learn that from Anzac's.\'a0i won't say much as enough has been said already on the day of the match and after it too. See you all in practice today peeps...till then hve a good one and keep working hard!!!\u8232 Jai Ho!!!! Go RCC!!!}
