That empty feeling.........

Thats how I'd sum up our emotions after todays match - our second match of the league also our second consecutive defeat. As far as our league campaign is concerned, well, still 10 more matches to go and 5 to win for a quarterfinal berth.

When the blog was started I had decided to post after every game to keep our friends in India and elsewhere updated. But then when we lost our opening game I thought to give it a skip for the first match because that wouldn't have been a fitting start to our so called - sojourn to victory.

After losing the second match though and with the third match scheduled with Rodeos the defending champs, the first post wud have had to wait for a month more. To avoid replying to those innumerous queries about "Whats up with Chandler Bulls" in orkut scraps or mails I have decided to give it a go however nauseating it is to relive those painful memories of whats happening with Chandler Bulls.

So while the first match we lost by a whisker the second was abject surrender. I thought we were a good team with good bowlers and good batsmen. Bowlers who could bowl 5 or 6 great balls an over except a bad ball or two here and there. Batsmen who could play shots except a bad one here and there. But then we realized in the end its this ball or two that sometimes is the difference between the two teams. Their bowlers unlike ours hardly give this ball or two and their batsmen unlike ours hardly fail to capitalise on this ball or two.

On a lighter front, I also somehow feel our fortunes seem linked with that of the Indian team. The day we lost our first match by 2 runs, the Indian team lost their first match by 4 runs. In our second match our batting simply collapsed reminiscing of India's 27/5 exactly on the same day.We ended up scoring the lowest score by any team in the league till now.

But while alls lost for the Indian team, theres still hope left for us. No cause is lost until there is but one fool left to fight for it. And I know I am not the only fool in this team.
