Yesterday we had match against Mohawks in the WPL tournament. My captain asked me whether I will be able to bowl today… I said yes and he said I will be bowling in the second spell. I was very excited and nervous too... since for the first time am gonna bowl in mat pitch using stitch ball for Spartans… I have bowled many times in nets but in center of the pitch this is the first time…
My team was very much supportive and they gave me a chance… the first spell was bowled by Ganesh, Kamal, they bowled really well and the match in our control… In the second spell, Guru started the over and he also bowled very well… I was asked to bowl the sixth over.
I was very nervous and excited wen I bowled my first ball… it was a gr8 experience… second ball I made a wide away the line in half… I made myself relaxed and bowled the next ball… I took a wicket in my first over with a full toss ball caught in short covers, taken by Dilip… I gave 6 runs in my first over… then again in the second over… I went gr8 and gave only 2 runs… its was a nice over…
My third over came and keeper was behind the stumps and fine leg was brought inside the ring… I made two stupid balls in the leg side and the ball went wide and four… which cost 10 runs… other than tat two stupid balls I gave only 4 runs…
Over all my performance was three overs 22 runs and 1 wicket … but I got tired after my last over and made few misfield… Finally the match was cancelled due to bad light and bad umpiring decisions.
I learned tat I need to improve my stamina a lot and concentrate more on bowling and especially fielding. A special thanks to my friends Vijay, Ganesh, Guru for trusting me and giving an opportunity to bowl.
