Well, not exactly on Mt Everest. But we won our ARCL cricket division finals for the second consecutive time this season. Unlike last time, this season’s performance in the round robin league wasn’t all that great, but we managed to qualify for the knockout stage and made it to an enthralling final yesterday.

We won the toss and elected to bat, history suggests it’s always good to bat first in a pressure match like this one. It was another ordinary batting performance yesterday, with just 28 in the first 10, at the cost of 4 wickets. A good partnership between Vijay and Ram helped us reach 63 in 16, just enough for us to fight back and stay in the game.

But an excellent display of fast bowling by Ram, and some spectacular catching (something like this and this) lead us to a comprehensive victory, bowling a strong opposition out for just 28. The match was won in the first 3 overs. With 3 wickets and just around 5 runs on the board, we had to commit harakiri to throw the match away.

Go Daemons Go!!
