Exhilarating match

We have played many cricket matches from our childhood. Our team is famous for winning test matches and we evolved as a formidable test side in our surrounding. In one day matches we couldn’t make towering impression due to the lack of powerful hitters down the order. That day I could never forget in my life. It was my first tournament match in fact for four of my friends. We were asked to play for a team in that tournament due to lack of players in that team. That team members were no stranger to us. In fact we have played many times with them. My friend Boopathi and Ramesh opened the innings and they gave a solid start to our team.

Still I remember that drive which was played by my friend and it reached the well that prevailed near the boundary. Now I could realize that it was my turn since my team needed swift runs and I was the leading hitter in that time. When I stepped in to the crease I felt little bit nervous but it disappeared after few balls since I was not playing for my team. I was in my dream form and blasted the ball all round the park. I scored my maiden fifty and my team reached a huge score of 132. It was a 12 over match and we knew that it was quite massive to chase. We were little bit lethargic in the field and they got to an explosive start. Manoj who was a great bowler that time bowled brilliantly but I could saw his good length balls vanishing for six through the square leg and midwicket. The match reached the final over and the opponent required 12 runs to win the first match in the tournament. The danger man who was smashing the bowlers got held to a great catch and at that time we could smell the victory which was nearly on the offer. Finally we won the game and our debut became one of the greatest matches we have ever played.
