Winners are always the Winner
Nike Park: The much anticipated match of the last week end turned out to be a complete disaster for team Whiners. Last week Team whiners challenged Team winners [Can you believe that!!!] for a rematch to restore their pride after previous massive loss. Team Whiners who were desperate to win the game made some tactical changes by recalling Jayant and inducting debutant Wilson. They were so busy to get more people on board but missed out what was happening with in their team. The first blow was delivered before the match by their own captain. He pulled out last minute claiming he is injured [Looks like he knew what the result would be!!!].
First game
Selecting to bat first in a flat wicket Team Whiners tried to post an imposing total. But with in first 3 over they lost half of their batting line up. Whiners were never able to match the aggressive bowling and brilliant fielding by Team Winners. They were shocked when Jonty Amol flew like a bird and plucked the ball out of thin air after to complete the catch of the season. Team Whiners were never able to recover after witnessing performance like that. The pace and spin combination of Team Winners worked really well. Team Whiners were bowled out for a paltry score of 22 runs. For a team that boast a strong batting line up as Team Winners it was child’s play. They chased this modest score with ease with Anu playing a sublime innings for Team Winners.
Second game
Team Whiners were hoping things can be turned around in the second game because they don’t have to deal with guile of Arup’s slow bowling. This time Team winners batted first and posted a competitive total with the good all-round batting performance. Team whiners again had another bad start with Amol removing both Aditya and Jayant in successive balls with some clever bowling. Prathap tried his best to fight back but with footwork like a car in a traffic jam he could not do much. Bala tried his best to remain unconquered till the end [He knew that game is already lost]. But Team Whiners forgot to mention that plan to Amol. A well directed and ferocious Yorker knocked out the middle stump to wind up the game. In a nut shell Team Whiners was like a one-legged man in a bum kicking competition.
These matches showed the true value of the captain to a side. Through out the match Team Winner Captain [Naru] lead from the front with deceptive spin bowling and intelligent placements with the bat. He was always alert to counter all the whining and cheating effort by Team Whiners. Mean while Team Whiner’s captain absconded his team in this match and put his team to the mercy of Team Winners.

After the last cricket match there were lot of baseless allegation thrown against Team Winners by the losing side Team Whiners. As the team name suggest team whiners kept on complaining that the run-out incident was the turning point in the match and team winners cheated them through out the match. Whiners even dared to claim that outcome would have been different if the run-out decision was given in their favour. Team whiners is now asking for a rematch to settle the score and to restore their pride[they think so!!!]. Team Winners accepted that challenge with true spirit for which they are known for.
