Win at last!!!!

The sweeeeeeet taste of success.......finally. Yea thats true we won our first game of the league, albeit against the minnows of the tournament - Tempe Ganpats. But then given our show in the league before this match I felt we also were one of the weaker sides and that made this - a clash between the underdogs, as interesting as any encounter between any of the top teams. While we were languishing at the second last position in the table the Ganpats were even worser - rock bottom.

The win also was more sweeter since it came unexpectedly. We were not supposed to play the Ganpats until first week of December and today they were scheduled to play Phenoms instead. But then Phenoms showed their unavailability and we were offered to prepone our match against Ganpats. Thats how we replaced the Phenoms as Ganpats opponents today and could taste our first win. We were already a bit down with the back-to-back defeats and our next match was scheduled against the Rodeos the defending champs and so a third loss on a trot was on the cards. But thanks to the turn of events we ended up opening our account in the points table. The beating against the Rodeos awaiting us next weekend is not gonna feel that bitter now :-).

But then everything isn't too gloomy for the Bulls. We haven't been clicking as a team but some of our individual performances, especially the bowlers, have been awesome. The Waqar-Wasim rivalry is certainly helping the team :-). Its good to see some of our guys move higher amongst the top 5 in the rankings list of batsmen and bowlers in the league(You will have to scroll down to the Tennis Ball Division if you happen to take the effort of clicking those links -also since the list is subject to change its possible you may see our guys move lower in that list as days go). And this considering our stats for one of the matches hasn't even been counted due to uploading issues.

Finally we also got a chance to uncork the Champagne bottle that has been waiting to spill from the past two matches.

Aey Ganpat Chal Daroo Laa..........
