Hi guys, im back,Well nothing much is new apart from the fact that we took a bad beating from ACSI..... I shall not talk too much abt this since its not worth talking about.
On a happier note, ive finally gotten down to compiling the list of T20 nicks for all the TJC cricketers. But i really need help from everyone!!!! Start giving me possible options for everyone!!
Ive gotten a few done, but the list is a LOONNNNGGG way from completion.
Our next game is against RJC, on wednesday, and we really hope to put up the fight of our lives, and give them a run for their money. I mean, if we put up a decent score, and then let vinoth loose and give him a free rein to kill people, what could possibly go wrong??? hahaha.
Well thats it then! Keep the nicknames coming!!
Cheers!

Another month and another game
There's nothing new from this side, other than the cool jerseys that have lime green stripes!!!!
Ok so here are some updates.
1) TJC HAS ITS CRICKET NET.
Well, yes its true. It may not look like much if you have actually seen it, but its really fun to play in. =) The wicket is a bit slow, and the ball does kick up a lot, but heck, its a net. =)
2) TJC Cricket has a brilliant bowling line up! =)
Yea, let me try to say this the same way Andrew Miller will on cricinfo.
TJC Cricket is led by a fine fast bowling quartet. Nikunj and Balaji open it with the new ball, and their distinct actions make them lethal. Nikunj, with his side arm action swings it away from the batsmen beating them with sheer pace, while balaji, with his new and improved bowling action, gets up to a decent pace while swinging it in. Vinoth the first change, just blows batsmen away. Any bat that gets on ball is due to sheer luck. =) Harish is the workhorse of the 4, and completely plugs one end.
TJC also has access to 2 decent spinners, one off spinner Ashwin, who might not turn much but has good line and length, and Anantha who can get the ball to turn on glass. Not to forget, our bowling line up also includes an accurate lefty in the form of Devang.
Yay. back to normal Raghav.
4) TJC ALSO HAS A GOOD BATTING LINE UP
Here's the probable top 6 batsmen:
Raghav, Balaji, Anantha, Nikunj, Harish, Vinoth.
Nuff said.
5) TJC JUST OWNED VJC.
Haha. sorry Victorian, couldnt help it. It was a good game for our boys, who played their hearts out against a lacklustre opponent who never really showed up today. playing on a really small pitch (BTSS, nuff said) VJ struggled to make 122 (mainly due to a lot of extra, the bowlers had a crappy run up). TJC then chased it down in 12 over, with Anantha going crazy and hitting 8 freaking 6ers. wth. I shall stop now.
Well thats all for now, our tournament starts next friday so ill update again then.
Cheers!

King Kshitij and the Knights of the Rectangular table
Well here's news from our friday training! Basically, the whole training was spent laughing like crazy because we officially have a NEW TEJAS RAO. Who's about 1/2 the size and twice the mouth. Yes. I AM TALKING ABOUT NACHIAPPAN, the new smallest guy in cricket. (photos will be uploaded ASAP)
Well basically, he seems to have found a surefire way of keeping Anantha quiet, mainly by making fun of him non stop. Which is weird, because Anantha is so big, he can EAT him. =)
Training was just as per normal, with bowling, batting, fielding, and Kshitij's crazy physical regime. The only scary thing was that our new WTHZOMGBBQ fast bowler Vinoth seemed intent on decapitating all the batsmen he bowled too. No seriously. Someone ought to stop him before he kills.
The PDP bonding dinner at KFC was damn fun too, with free flow of drinks and banter. We have officially christened ourselves as the order of The Rectangular Tables. Kshitij is our king! Here are some examples of our Knight names:
nachi - Sir Laugh-a-lot
balaji - Sir Hump-a-lot
anantha - Sir Cock-a-lot
and so on and so forth. (well we were bored. so sue us.)
The full list of new nicknames for our J1s will be up after monday training.(just like ole times. =])
So until then,
Cheers!

OK.TJC CRICKET BLOG IS OFFICIALLY BACK. (random celebrations)
Yes sorry people. Ive been really busy. And now TJC cricket has 3 trainings a week. With a new coach. KSHITIJ (random celebrations again). He's got a crazy fitness plan that leaves us all feeling drunk and high every training (am i supposed to celebrate again?)
Ok... so anyway. Here's the lowdown of whats happened. TJC cricket has officially more than 20 members (ZOMGWTHNABE). Yes its true. We've got some pretty good J1s, and we really hope to mount some form of crazy gay shit challenge for the title this year!!!
In terms of games, we've played 2 proper ones with NJC so far, the first one we OWNED them. And in the second. Well. Ask me personally. Ill give you the whole picture.
Ok peeps, i promise to keep the posts coming in regularly this year. (Yes, im that bored.)
Cheers!

HAHA yes people. the title is true.Well on the whole it was a decent tournament for us, but there are several positives and negatives that we need to take into consideration for next year. (btw, the next years exco will be selected tomorrow!!! =D)
Our semi final was easily one of the best games that we have played all year round. Playing the tournament favourites, RJC, we were sent into bat. Although Nikunj lost his wicket quickly, decent partnerships allowed us to post a decent score of 109 (the first team to score more than a hundred against RJC!!!)
Our bowling was pretty good too, Bala took 3 quick wickets, to cause a bit of fluster amongst the RJC batsmen, but well, a good innings by Prem saved them the blushes.
Our third-fourth match was quite a different. We played very badly, (god knows why) and we were bowled out for 60, which the SAJC batsmen knocked off with ease.
But well, this long drawn out tournament is finally over!!!
TILL NEXT YEAR!
cheers!

Ok. the cricket blog is finally back. Sorry all readers, ive been really busy and stressed (until today =) ). Some people who read this blog will understand, others wont. (so sue me)So, basically this is a summary of what happened after the VJC game.
1) We got our asses kicked by RJC.
2) We got beaten in a rain sodden, nonsense match against ACS(I).
3) We got beaten by SAJC, who decided to make a big ho-ha over a stupid rule, despite the fact that they were easily, the better team that day.
4) WE TRASHED NJC.
5) The cricket boys who played for combined schools came is second.
I would like to only further elaborate on point 4)
NJC game was one that was going to be a grudge match for the whole TJC team. So well, we chose to bowl first against them in a 30 over game. BALA, the player playing with the most fire that day, decided to turn it on, and took 7 astonishing wickets, including the one of their captain. (he bounced one up in the helmet to get him flustered, and blew him away the next ball =) ) After they were out for 36, it was just cleaning up, and Sanstav finished the game nicely with three 4s.
After that, we had so much time, that we even played 2 friendlies versus a team selected by Pramod. Here, ANANTHA decided that Bala had had too much fun, and went berserk. Four 6s, a few 4s, etc, you get the point. Basically we won the first one, and lost the second one.
So stayed tuned for the Semis, and whatever comes after that!
(btw, for those who care, we're playing RJC in the semis)
Cheers!
