The curious case of Praveen Sake and Andrew the bailer
Gone are the days of "Jack of all trades and Master of none". It is clearly an advantage to be a specialist and our Praveen has clearly illustrated why. It is very funny to check the NJSBCL profile page mention Praveen as a RHB (Right Handed Batsman) where a suitable title would be RHSC (Right Handed Square Cutter). There can be none better than Praveen to play the shot ( I even pip him slightly ahead of Sachin in terms of the power he generates and the ease at which he plays the shot. He would have played that shot off Akthar even if he had to chase it from 3kms outside the leg stump). Seeing the bowling charts for the games concluded so far, the PP's have clearly displayed better performances being very frugal and attacking (opponents being dismissed twice before the quota of 16 overs) it is highly confounding to the failure of this approach by PS as he has clearly found it advantageous playing his teammates this way in the practice games. In hindsight we can say that he has indeed failed to adopt this usual style to his batting. On an average any batsman is sure to receive 5/20 balls short and wide outside the off stump. If a stricter mind can enforce a rigid discipline to sway the arms for only those rank bad balls (eventually guaranteed to get dividends of at least 2 or more runs) and the rest quietly played for singles we are looking at an attractive 30 from 20 balls with a strike rate of 150 (an attractive strike rate comparable to any hedge fund manager's take home package). Shifting to last week's match against The Legends who showed no signs of having even one legend after a horrible display of batting eventually making the numbers in our bowling charts more miserly than a Chidambaram's budget. The statements would have well been forced to reverse had it not been for Andrew who in addition to matching his burly, gigantic figure and first name with the usual suspect from Queenslander (Symonds), also played a similar role in bailing the team out. Struggling at 38/4 from 9 overs it was a laborious effort made to look easy with his soaring sixers (now better known as DLFers). Rightly our captain has immediately addressed the top order to fire. The remaining show was all Satish's with wonderful accuracy (with the precision of a surgeon) and pace to dislodge the wood work more than once. A commendable effort. Tamizh was candid as ever with his usual teasing line which ultimately fetched him a wicket. Reward for good work. Arun was clinical and yours truly completed four overs with just one wide. Fielding was remarkably strong with Praveen taking one nice catch and Ram plucked one too. Not to forget was Ram's early contribution in disturbing the batsman between balls ultimately proving fatal for the willow man. To summarize it was a victory hard earned and well deserved. The weekend ended even better with Chennai Super Kings winning the IPL quite to the contrary from Ram's predictions earlier.

NJSBCL : Match 2 : Plainsboro Panthers Vs The Legends
This was the second match with more hype among us in the team about the opponents "The Legends".
Preparations:
The weather was far better than previous games. I thought the pitch would be little wet because of the rain couple of days before the match. But it was dried down and no wetness in the pitch. We started preparing the pitch by laying the mat, putting the boundary cones. Thanks to all the guys who helped in preparing the ground for the match. I would like to get same kind of co-operation from all of my team mates.
The opponents started to show up and involved some practice. The umpires from Devils11 team showed up on time. We havent altered pitch length it was same as last match. Thanks to the opponents for not raising some unwanted concerns about the pitch length and neither the umpires.
Toss:
It was toss time with Umpire Jaimin and two captains me and Jay Patel. Umpire tossed the coin and Jay called it as "Head".And it is head. My toss luck started to follow me. The opponents decided to field. We were happy because we decided to bat first if we would have won the toss.
Plainsboro Panthers Innings:
As usual our openers Praveen and Paresh opened the innings. I told Praveen to play his game freely and Paresh to hang on there for a while.Praveen came back to pavilion by scoring 2 runs,got out for a straight slower one. Swamy joined Paresh and started taking the singles. Swamy got out for excellent delivery from Jigar after steady innings for 10. Andrew went in and started resuming were Swamy left and we saw some excellent running from Andrew that day. Paresh got out after a long inning for 12. Paresh forgot that i gave him a bat to hit the ball and played all the balls with his body.Gosh!!! we would have scored 20 more runs if we had leg byes.
We reached 31/3 after 8 overs.Ram and Andrew started the innings after the break. Unfortunately Ram got runout for a excellent throw from the fielder for 2 runs.Sekar got out for a duck. He tried to hit ball over the mid wicket for six but caught out at the boundary.
Andrew started picking it up scored couple of sixes. Before that we havent got a single boundary. Sathish played well with Andrew moving single and hit a superb boundary. Andrew skied the slower one from Gary and caught by the keeper. Varun joined Sathish and started running for almost everything but unfortunately Sathish got run out for 8. Then we sent Krishna and asked him to move singles and not get out. He struggled a bit initially and then started moving singles. We were 73/8 by 15 overs.
Last over first ball from Gary went for wide and 2 bye runs. Second ball Varun and krishna ran for a quick single and we got two more in over throws. Third was a single. Krishna got out in fourth ball for 6 runs. I went to crease as a 11th batsman, scored 1 run of the fifth ball and last ball innings varun took a single and i pushed for the second to steal a run but he got out. We didnt mind about that wicket as the innings is over. Finally we score 83/10.
It is same as last match score but with a extra wicket.
The Legends Innings:
We were very confident to bowl them out. I took the new ball to bowl first over and gave 2 runs. Next came Sathish and bowled an extra-ordinary over he took a maiden wicket as last match. I gave 4 runs in the third over. Sathish again bowled excellently with another maiden for 1 more wicket.At the end of 4 overs ,the opponents were 6/2. Arun came into bowling and gave 2 runs, the last ball he bowled was a slower one, the batsman skied to long off and Krishna Mohan took a
superb catch. I asked Varun to bowl the next over and he bowled some extra-ordinary deliveries that the batsmen had no clue where ball is going to pitch and come.Arun took one more wicket in his next over.At the end of 8 Overs, they scored 17/4 wickets.
I came into bowl the 9th over after the break. During the break i told swamy that i will take a wicket at long off/on and got the same. Praveen took a excellent catch at long on. Sathish took one more wicket and gave four runs those four runs are only runs given by Sathish in this match. Next Arun over costs 12 runs, he couldnt get his line and length. But we had nothing to worry as it is very much tough task to get 50 runs in 5 overs. Next over Varun took one wicket with a superb zipping delivery. Next over i took another wicket of guys who was stuggling and we couldnt get his wicket before that over and the last ball of the 14 over from me, the batsman hit the ball the midwicket and a superb throw from Sekar cost them another wicket. Finally Sathish finished off their inning in the thrid ball of 15th over. They scored 43 with all their 10 batsmen out.
Celebrations all around. We won the match by 40 runs with some wonderful bowling from Sathish. The bowling figures doesnt change much from last match which is 12 runs and it was cut short by Sathish.
I wish our top order batsman to fire and to correct few mistakes in bowling.
Here are few snaps before you go into scoresheet.

NJSBCL Match 1 : Plainsboro Panthers Vs Toms River XI at Panthers Ground on 4/18
Here I am with the review of our first match against Toms River XI. The match was scheduled to start at 8:30 AM. This is the first official match for us this year. Also this is first match we are playing in full cricket mat.
The climate was awful and windy. We all were dressed up in three layers.
Match was delayed for couple of reasons. The umpires from juggernaut team were late and the opponent team manager, Ketan was not happy with the size of the pitch. He felt 2 feet short.
Me and Ram(our Team Mangaer) were saying this is the correct length. Once the umpire reached the ground by 8:45 AM. the opponents complained about the length of the pitch, the umpires after measuring by foot they felt it is in correct length. But left to opponent for their satisfaction. They were trying to measure the pitch by Tape but unfortunately we didnt bring our tape that day and shops were not open that early.
So finally the opponent came down and agreed to play the match with the same length of the pitch.
Toss:
Though the toss is not that crucial we felt winning the toss would be great advantage. When it comes to toss I am not so lucky to win the toss barely I had won 25% of tosses last year.
Now back to toss,Umpire Deepti Ranjan from Juggernaut tossed the coin, the opponent captain called it a tail.It was head. Uh!!! I won the toss for the first match. I came down to the team resting area to check what we can choose. We decided to choose batting to take advantage of climate that time and hoped to improve over the day progresses.
Plainsboro Panthers Innings:
Our opening batsmen Praveen and Paresh were ready to make a mark.I asked them to go freely over the bowlers. Ketan started off the proceeding by bowling a wide ball of the innings.
Paresh hit a sixer on the quare leg for six.We were 9/0 in the first over with both Praveen and Paresh started off. Then comes the tragedy Paresh got out for a slower edging to keeper when he scored 7.
Praveen is back to pavilion in the similar fashion with 4 runs.We were worried with Swamy and Andrew getting out for 3 and 2 respectively and our score is 21/4 after 6 overs.And by the break time we were 29/4 after 8 over.
Right after the break, Ram and Arun shifted the gears carried our team. Arun got out for 22 with a six and four.It was a sweet coincidence when we were shouting Chennai Super Kings won the match and made it to Semi Finals, Ram hit a sixer. Sriram joined Ram and did a little cameo before he got out unfortunately for 9 by caught at the midwicket just before the boundary. Sathish came back to pavilion with 2 runs. I went in got a duck in 3 balls.Ram got out in final over for 21 with 2 sixes. Last one to go is Harieash to face the last ball.
So by end of 16 overs we were 83/9.
Toms River XI Innings:
I have taken the new ball in my hand for the first over. It was a pretty tight over with 1 run. Next over by Sathish provided the momentum with 2 wonderful wickets without giving any runs. Yes it is maiden and 2 wickets. From then on we conquered the game. Toms River started loosing wickets on a regular interval.
They were 5/4 at the end of 4 overs. Then Arun and Piyush started bowling. They also bowled very well.
At the end of 8 overs they were 24/6. Then we were to wrap it up soon but the Vijesh of Toms River was not giving away. He stood till the last over.We leaked some runs in between. Finally they scored 55/10 in 15.2 Overs.
Summary:
Overall its a great performance by Panthers in all the departments especially bowling and fielding. Thanks to Ram(21) & Arun(22) for excellent batting and Sathish for his wonderful spell of 16/4 from his 4 overs and myself(Thamizh) with some tidy bowling 9/2 from 4 overs.
We hoping to continue to do better and correct our small mistakes for the games to come.

It's Cricketing Season
Its always pleasure to do what we love. In sports,let it be watching or playing any game brings up 1000 Watts brightness in our faces. That too when it comes to cricket, we will do all kinds of sweet non senses like bunking offices, classes, appointments,fighting with wife or parents,etc to see the matches. The same is true for playing as well.
I am fortunate enough to play cricket after college days. It's possible in US where sports is one of body building activity and where you get time and people to play with.
I am sad that it is being missed out most parts in India after we completing our college days. I thought I might be wrong just deciding from my experience alone but it is true when i came across same stories.
Yes, I am delighted to say that our cricket season in New Jersey starts with small glimpse of spring. It is still cold and windy here in New Jersey. Its going to be tough and shivering weekends for the first few weeks of cricketing season. I am saying tough not to play intense cricket but to wake up by 7 or 7:30 in the morning.
Our team is Plainsboro Panthers located at Plainsboro,New Jersey.
As a captain of the team, I am starting the blogs to write about our matches, team performances, team standings share view and comment within the team and friends of team members.
I request your co-operation to this blog live, clean and motivated. I request if any your friends are commenting on the post, ask them to keep it clean without any foul language.
Also, please ask them include your name mentioning that they are friend of you, in their signature.
