First of all I wanted to say that this match was in NEHRU YUVA KEHNDRA (tournament match) 30 over.
My bowling analysis was pretty attractive (05-01-18-03). The match was on matting so I bowled from
short run-up and bowled quite inelegantly though I had strain in m neck, forgetting that pain I bowled
and bowled excellently. My foot was dragging (jo mai baut pehele se cha raha tha) I could bowl where I
wanted. I was mixing it very well, all the cutters and the Yorkers and yeah in the end the quicker one. So
I had a good day of cricket today.
27 January 2014
The day is Monday and we had this tournament match in Ghaziabad exactly the place where last match
happened. Surprisingly I was todays captain of the team for gzd wanderers. And tell you what this was
the first time I was captaining a side and sadly it ended in a sad note, we lost the game and got out of
the tournament. In todays match we were bowling first as we lost the toss they put our team to bowl to
them. It started pretty well, score was ticking slowly slowly and until then no wicket was down. But then
as the game progressed we got hold over the game but their team managed to make 200 odd runs I
which I bowled all my 06 over and gave 30 runs without a wicket. Actually I bowled quite well they were
not picking my bowl and I could take the advantage but unfortunately didnt get the wicket.
Then the next part of the game started our team batting. I dont know whether it was a good decision or
wrong one but the thing I had in my mind I took that. But then gradually we progressed and we came
quite close to the game, at one point of time the situation was in our hand but we couldnt catch that.
And when I was into batting the runs and balls were quite parallel and again I couldnt take the game
away from the opposition team. I got out in pretty tale ender fashion. Left arm was bowling and I
stepped out thought of lofting it over the covers boundary but couldnt do it and got stumped and then
from there we started losing the game. And the result was we lost by 20 odd runs . So the lessons that
I had learned from todays game is that be confident in yourself and try to take your team mates along
with you. And yeah try to take responsibilities when you get it! Coz you dont get this kind of
opportunities quite often (captaining a side).
8 Feb -12 Feb (Jhanshi M.P)
Hey! There.. this time it was a tour in jhanshi M.P. you wont believe this tournament was really a mess,
it started like we couldnt decide the players until the match. We reached here in jhanshi on 8 of feb in
the afternoon, then we got a warm welcome out there it was really special, and after reaching there we
got to know that he match will be coming live in of the channel so we all got really excited. But on the
otherside we had this in our head that players are not full so we had to arrange players. But somehow
we arranged and played the match on 9 of feb an the tournament was t20 so we had to play with full of
energy and more of energy. And I dont y what prob is going on with me , I cannotbowl to my full of the
strength but as usually economically he spell is ending nysh. But I cannot wickets but one good thing
happened out here is that I got the chance to bat and some how I proved it to my self that I can bat and
bat really well yaar! (04-00-29-00) this was my bowling analysis and batting mai I made 15* not out and I
gained confidence. And in the next match which was the very next day we lost the match it was a
really bad performance b our team and yush first match we won . den in the third and final league
match we had to win this match as the situation was like we had to win this match as we had won one
game and lost ne so to be in the tournament we had to win this match. And guess what we won it and I
batted really well and made 27* not out with one six and 4 fours, and bowling was like 04 overs 00
maidens gave away15 runs and took 01 wicket, and we entered into the sem-finals and then we had our
train right after the match so we boarded the train and train started and then aftr some time I got a call
and there was another match ther in agra (morena) and the match was 35 overs match and it was semi-
finals. Here alsomy bowling was not impressive it was pathetic bowled 3 overs and gave 30 runs shit
man! And I thought if my bowling is not happening rightly so why not put my efforts in the fielding so I
was putting my all the efforts in the fielding and was attacking each and every ball which was coming to
me. Then we got the target of 200+ runs which we thought we can attain . we got good start as usual
and and was edgeing towards the end but we lost the wckets and then I went and we had to make 70
mre runs to win from 20 more overs and we had only 4 wickets in hand. After there I played and took
my team to the final by making 31* runs by hitting 1 six and 4 fours and we reached finals and again it I
batted well but in the bowling dept I was pretty weak! I had to work more and more in the bowling

18 February 2014 (DDCA 2
nd
league match)
The day started normally and I woke up liltle late as I have to go to pritampura R.S.K.P ground. So I had
to take metro from dilshad garden, but it started like I woke up late and had to run everything quick, but
when I was in the house Akai my younger sister she was very much supporting me by saying that Abhay
you have to take 5 wickets today anyhow. So she was depending on me. Then somehow I reached
metro station parked the car there and it was already 8:30 am and I had to reach there by 9, then I
boarded the train and luckily as soon as I sat train started to run I dont know whether god was with me
or who but I reached there by 9 and very quickly reached there at the ground. As I had mentioned above
that I bought new pair of ASICS 200 not out, and I directly used it in the match. So we won the toss and
choose to bowl and the new SG cherry was given to me and I bowled the first bowl and as I bowled ball
didnt came properly into the bat and cause wicket was very slow and turning. After that I continued
bowling and I bowled 3 over and didnt get any wickets and I had given the rest. Then I final 10 over just
before the power play I was given the over and in the very first over in the last bowl I bowled and it was
my first wicket and I got pretty relaxed and then after that in the next over I didnt get wicket and I
thought the captain will stop me from bowling but he was like Abhay KAREGA NAH! And I said why not.
And then they had taken the power play in which only three fielders can be outside the field so my three
fielders was long on, long of and deep square leg and all the other fielders was within the 30 yard circle.
And I knew exactly what I have to do. So in the duration I took four more wickets and got the first five
wickets haul in the year 2014. And pata hai I could have taken another wicket but I dropped the wickets
from my hand only and then we had given the target of 173 which looked easy but we could chase such
a simple target and I was very disappointed because my performance was neglected due to the match
loss. But then I was not out and we lost but 20 odd runs
My analysis- 08-00-34-05 and 9* with a six
And I GOT THE BALL FROM WHICH I TOOK THE WICKETS

19 February 2014 (semi-final)
Unexpected ! you would be thinking that why am I saying this,actually what happened was in the last
match my bowling was not impressive and I just bowled somehow but in todays match it was all
surprise for me. We won the toss and elected to bowl first and I was given the new bowl, while warming
up my right shoulder was paining so I thought I sont know how I m gonna bowl but when I bowled the
first ball I gained confidence. And I was running quick to the crease and my action was also smooth
enough and was bowling at the right areas. Though my ball was no swinging as it used to be but was
moving the bowl outside after delivering it was happening off the track.in the first spell I bowled three
over and gave just 8 runs and took 2 wickets . then I was called in the 17
th
over when runs were coming
very quickly, my aim for my last over was to bowl Yorkers and I succeeded. In the first ball I bowled to
the righty batsmen and he took two runs of the frst ball ,then came the lefty batsmen I tried of bowling
Yorkers to him but in the very first ball to the lefty I bowled wide. And then in the next delivery I bowled
a full toss and he sturck it fo four in the deep square area and in the the third bowl I bowled another
Yorker but this this tym he hit it to the mid wicket are where my dear fielder missed the ball completely
and it ended in a four then in the fourth bowl I bolwd him a slower one which stuck his pads and he took
one run of it, that was my fifth bowl then in the last bowl I bowled the slower one it went up in the sky
but safe to the ground and in the meanwhile they took one more runs . and my analysis ended like 04-
00-20-02 and made 1*
