What a semifinal! The script for the 21 Centurians couldn't have been better. After a poor start, i.e. loosing 5 wickets on 22 runs, it was Mudit all the way. He had not played well in the tournament, but i guess he saved his best for the Semi Final. Before that, i must mention that the Centurians had lost 4 wickets on just 4 runs and Abhinav played a gem of an inning to take the team to 22. 16 Radians looked under pressure for the first time and after their top order collapsed, it was upon the last man Rajeev to take the team to the finals. He almost did that, thanks to a dropped catch by Puru off his own bowling. But Praveen took a splendid catch to rap up the innings and win the match for the Centurians by one run. The Radians were aghast and shocked. All credit to the Centurains for a wonderful display of all round cricket.
Now, the UnderDogs meet Gj 6 in the 2nd semi final tomorrow morning, which should also be an exiting game, given the form of both the teams. We are full of confidence right now and would like to execute our plans on the field.
We played a friendly match with the Blockbusters today, and won the same with ease. The boys are rearing to go.

16 Radiens! Bad Show….
I would like to congratulate Jadoo’s team which played really well today and Mudit’s inning was awe-inspiring. Their travail to victory was a good example of a collective team work as Mudit let his blade do the killing whereas congruently others backed him up with prissy bowling and proper fielding through which wickets kept falling at regular intervals.
We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse. We played well and also did few foolish things, but we did them with full of enthusiasm. 16 Radiens were burdened with lots of expectation and it had been recognized as an invincible team. But today it was a disaster for all as 16 Radiens were beaten by 21 Centurians in the semi final. Everybody who witnessed the match said “oops!!” but we said “Ah! Interesting”. For us it was just another day of the tournament. Nothing serious, it was just human. But today our defeat established one thing that our team is not invincible as this format of play is totally different from normal cricket which can be won by anybody who knows to play simple cricket. Luck also matters in this game but hard work beats hard luck as we went lucky when Pururaj droped Rajeev’s catch, even than lastly they managed to get him out and cleared their way to final with a margin of one run.
Lastly, all the best to the teams playing 2nd semi final match and the final match. Wish you all the best and good luck!
