Okay people, we just had our last training yesterday.Sad huh? Anw, Sanstav can you please send me the pics? I'm gonna post them here. Okay maybe not me being half naked bt the others yea.
Hmmm, oh yea, thank you to all year 2s. We're gonna miss you all and all the best for your 'A' levels. Ok that being said, I'm introducing the year end awards now. It will be a yearly tradition eh? Haha, here it goes.
Most inspiring performance:
Anurag vs SAJC
Smart batting put up a respectable score against the SAJC ppl.
Most brilliant tactical change:
TJC vs VJC
Rakesh sent in a couple of the tailenders first. Totally threw off those VJ ppl.
Best Catch:
Nishanth
His trademark 'crocodile's mouth' catch is one of the funniest catches to see, and yet, it works so who cares?
Best Boundary
Rakesh vs VJC
The wonderfully timed shot flew all the way to the boundary, and past it. Nothing the Victorians could do about it.
Ok, that's all I could come up with.
For the finale, I'll be announcing the Best Player of the Year award. Stay tuned.
Signing off,
Balaji aka The G-Man
P.S In training yesterday, Ishaan actually missed a ball which brushed past his hands and he shouted as if....he's been hit by Shoaib Malik cracker. Told ya so.

Heya people!Raghav back... and im here to post 2 very interesting incidents that happened at the start of this year, when we were still under Buddhika.
Number 1.
This one is dedicated to our past and current Vice Captains.
It was a fine Saturday morning, and we had just started nets training. Sanstav was all padded up, and was looking in good touch.
Then the unthinkable.
A typical Rakesh cracker of a damn ball swung right in, and clipped sanstav in the... um... um... for the lack of a better word, nuts. Despite wearing a ball guard, the ball seemed to have found a way through, and had injured sans.
Enter Shikhare.
Shikhare being the general i'm-a-nice-guy-but-a-brainless-idiot ran to find some form of assitance for sans.
Guess what the resident genius does.
HE BRINGS ICE.
TO PUT ON THE... NUTS.
EVEN THE POOR GUY WHO HAD BEEN INJURED (sans) COULDNT HELP BUT LAUGH.
And Shikhare ensured himself of an IM THE IDIOT OF THE YEAR award.
Number 2.
This incident is the most all-rounded (literally) player of the team.
Ishaan.
It was a nice Friday evening at Kallang, and we were having fielding practise, Long Catches.
So everyone runs in and catches, some drop.
Enter hero number 2, Ishaan.
When Ishaan comes in, Buddhika decides to be funny.
he lobs it high in the air, but is quite short in length. So Ishaan runs in his usual way towards the ball at full speed.
Then, he misses the ball.
And barrels straight on.
INTO BUDDHIKA.
Ever wondered wat will happen if an eighteen wheeler hits a duck? Well, we found out. Enough said.
Well thats all folks!
Until next time!

Chronicles of TJC Cricket Episode 1
So first of all, we run one BIG round around the pitch. After everyone finishes, we realise that we are down by one person. We look all around the pitch just to see Ishaan near the sidescreen which is miles away from the end point, which is also the start point which incidentally...ok i should stop now.
Anyway, we just shake our heads and go to do our usual stretching. Then our coach comes around to give us short catches. Here are the things that are sure to happen even if the world is flat and the sky falls down:
1) Ishaan will miss the ball at least 5 times and shout as if he had been hit by a Shoaib Malik cracker.
2) Siva will get ultra hyper and horny
3) Sansthav will go 'yep yep yep' and crash into the person standing next to him
4) Balaji will catch all the balls given to him
5) Bala will do a slow-mo dive, shouting 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' as he goes down to catch the ball, just to realise its going above him and he dived too early.
The above mentioned are just for the year ones.
As for the year twos, this is what will happen for long catches.:
1) Nishanth will do his special 'crocodile' style catch, which got me my 2nd wicket against VJC. Haha, thx dude!
2) Bharat runs in with his pants up to his belly button and cataches the ball...no wait he just dropped it. Arh well. (haha, joking only ah bro, no tension!)
3) Anurak runs allll the way from the boundary with a straight poker face and catches the ball. Nothing much lah.
4) Gwen Seng! Haha, he'll run in, then realise its going back, so run back, then stand below it and catch it, drop it, catch it again and drop it again. Ah seng lah that one.
5) Rao. Tejas Rao. He'll run in like a duck, put his hands out, and hopes the ball falls in. But hey, the odds were quite high. Like 1 in 100000000000000000000000000000000 only. No wait, in the words of mr goh, ONY.
6) Balasundram Sundrbalan. Rakesh. He'll jog if its too far, but catch it its just nice. Typical Shikare. No wait, typical Balasundram Sundrabala.
7) Here is the grand finale. Shikare. Tejas Shikare. Here's what happens. The typical Shikare of the genus DUMBO run towards a ball which is high in the air. He knows there's no one around him, and shouts MINE in a really high pitch. After which, he says that saliva was stuck in his throat. Sigh. Thus, if u ever come across this particular species, it is strongly advised that u steer clear of it, or it might just shout MINE into ur ear.
Hahaha, kk sry shikare, its all a joke. Please everyone, he is a good fella. Haha.
And so ends episode one of the TJC cricket chronicles. Stay tuned for more of the mundane adventures of TJC Cricket Club.

Well Raghav is back...
This is blogging abt this Sats training... Was quite fun... haha...
First, we start the day like normal, with short fielding, then Sagar says, "lets play a little rubber ball cricket game... rules, NO BOUNDARIES... run!"
So all of us break up into pairs... Me and Balaji form the second pair...
So the first pair, Balakutty and Ishaan walk in... bala played quite well... but the ishaan ended up like the loser he was, ended up getting bowled by SIVA and GIRISH... everyone was like... ehhhh
The the ownage partnership... RAGHAV and BALAJI. Both of us went in, and DIDN'T get out even once... final score 17 runs and that remained as the highest score... (btw, it was only 4 overs per pair)
Nothing funny other than that happened... until the two coaches said they would like to bat.
Ouch.
Final score... 30++ runs in 4 overs...
Ouch.
After that, the only funny thing that happened was during long catches... Sanstav being the NOOB that he is, threw the ball all the way across the field, OVER the keeper (i.e. ME) and over the damn fence.
TWICE.
Well... thats all for training...
BTW LISTEN UP ALL J2 ex-cricketers! CAN WE PLAY A TESTIMONIAL MATCH? 7 on 7? sometime is sept???
