The final was an awesome game, played against our MACC rival - DCC, under
lights from 9 - 10PM, after whole day's cricket. It was an 8 over game played
with a hard tennis ball. To put things in perspective - DCC wicket keeper chose
to use wicket keeping gloves to keep wickets (in a tennis ball tournament!).
DCC entered into the finals, oozing with confidence, after having scored
115 runs in 8 overs in the semi-finals, against a local team - SAS. On the other
hand, Anzacs were counting the time left to hit the bar and even proposed a 6
over final instead of 8, which was turned down by DCC.
The rest was history. DCC, after electing to bat, hit a dead end, facing
Krishna, Rahul and Nikhil. They were all out (i.e 7 wickets as it was 8-a-side
tournment) for 29 runs in 8 overs.
What a change of fortune Anzacs brings to the
opponents !!!
Anzacs made it through in 7 overs with 3 wickets in hand. Krishna won
trophies for the "Man of the Match" and the "Best Bowler of the
Tournament".
A special thanks to the Anzacs newbies - Subhayu, Ravi and Amay for
helping us win this cup.
Go Anzacs !!! We Win, We Booze, We Workout !!!
