Second Game: TJC vs VJC

Raghav's back, with the next game that TJC played, against our closest rivals VJC, in what ive have officially named, the Marine Parade Derby. The toss was won by TJC captain Bala, and we sent VJC in to bat.

After some brilliant bowling from everyone, VJC were all out for 143. Some good bowling from the captain and Anantha packed them up. Then it was up to TJC to chase down 144 for the win.

TJC got an early scare when the top 3 collapsed for a combined score of 1. Yes. We had a bad day.
But an amazing knock by Anantha (32 of like 16 balls!!!), followed by good middle order batting from Ishaan, Harish, Devang and Abhishek finished the game off for us. Harish played the Hero, holding one end firmly, playing a beautiful knock.

So thats it, stay tuned for the next game, TJC vs RJC (the best school in Singapore. Ouch)

Cheers!

First Game: TJC vs TPJC

Ok guys... im back (Raghav)

And this time, i have news about our first game of the tournament. TPJC.
TPJC werent really considered competition, but well, we took them pretty seriously anyway.
After a lot of annoying rain, the game was shortened to 25 overs per side.

TJC scored 199 with the loss of 5 wickets and the end of 20 overs. (we were asked to declare after this by the umpire, because time was running out, and TPJC bowlers were literally spraying the ball everywhere, wides, no-balls you name it)

We declared at this point, and went in to bowl, defending a score of 200 to win in 20 overs.

TPJC were all out in 10.1 overs, with a score of 27.

OUCH.

So well, yea, thats it for our first game, ill put up some spastic photos some other time.

Cheers!
