Chapter 26 - End of Part 1

Match 4 was an easy win and again I didn't have to bat much so there wasn't much for me to do except for good Wicketkeeping.

It's ridiculous how shit these teams are... Genuinely... I wonder if everyone is like that or if our team itself is this good...

...

Match 5... 3 overs have been bowled... And 4 wickets have fallen, There's A. Steven still in the crease...

The wickets were 0/1 by Y. Justin, 7/3 By S. Gull... 3/3 by S. Yeverin. And 18/7 by N. Restorian.

The unbeaten one was at 4/4 balls, and I was on the strike for the 4th over...

I took a single as usual...

I know it's only a 10 over match but that's very crucial...

And so the very next ball was hit hard through the On side for a boundary... 4 runs.

...

By the end of the 7th over I'd hit 4 Fours and scored around 22 runs in 12 balls...

And the other one faced as many balls as me hit 3 sixes and 3 fours in his 12 Balls and took 6 singles...

He was currently on 44/16... He was just 4/4 and Outta nowhere scored 44/16...

While I was going at a brisk pace taking my own them at the crease... I know I'm quite shameless...

But, I always attack at the end when I understand the pitch better and the ball will come onto the bat better...

And so the bowled ran towards the pitch and delivered the ball... Right in the slot... Are you stupid? I asked in my mind and I slapped it right over the bowler's head.

Well... I wasn't stupid enough to mistime a slot ball and it went high up in the air and landed right behind the ropes.

Well... I may have been a little bit too excited... That should have gone out of the stadium considering the pace at which it was bowled.

If it were even a bit slower I'd have been cought either by long off or long on fielder...

Gadda be careful..

And so I took a single of the very next ball...

Steven as if waiting for his turn flicked a short ball at shoulder height deep intovthe stands, another six...

Well... This guy ain't normal is he? And so he finishes his 50 in style... 82 runs at 7.3...

That's maybe an average score considering the type of pitch this was...

I can't just eat away balls like this... And so I took the agressive route...

I'd see the ball and hit the bowl I thought.

He took a single this time... Hmm, that's quite unexpected...

And so I took took a single and gave the strike to Steven...

Because my "See the ball hit the bowl" tactics would come into play after this Over hahahahhaha....

Ahm... And so Steven hit an almost flat six which ended up being a four...

He ends the over with a boundary and he was on 55 runs... I should really learn from him I thought as I took the strike for the next over.

...

"What are we doing here princess? Isn't football a better sport than this? Maybe even baeball."

"You know nothing, so why don't you keep your mouth shut? I've played this game and if isn't as easy as it seems. That ball right there is harder than a baseball... And the pitch that they are playing on has all sorts of Stuff waiting for them. You don't understand It's a battle... A battle I say."

"I didn't know you were this passionate about cricket princess..."

"Well I wasn't before but I became a fan after watching Revan play... Even as a child he seemed like a real good player..."

"Ooh princess and Klara? That's a rare combination in a very unpopular game... What are you both doing here?"

"I just wanted to check out The sports here and Klara just happened to have the seat next to me. So we got to get acquainted."

"Haha... Funny how coincidences work."

"Anyway... Do you know someone who plays here?"

"Not particularly, I... I'm just observing a person under investigation... His name I think was Revan Clark? Yes that's him. The one who's batting right now..."

"That guy? He's playing right now? And on top of that he's under Investigation?"

"Yes..."

"By whom?"

"I'm sorry it's confidential..."

"I see..."

An awkward silence ensued...

"Anyway, that guy... He sure is bad at the sport isn't he?"

"I wouldn't say that... It's just that the other Steven Guy who seems pretty good... He's been doing quite well as an above average batsman."

"Wait? The other guy isn't normal is he? This pitch can estimate to be around 70-80 Metres in length from the pitch at a glance... That's almost a Homerun... In baseball and he's hit how many 4 of them? That's seriously insane..."

"While on the other hand... There's Revan who's just taking singles..."

"Well don't worry... He'll probably play his natural game after the 8th over..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well you'll see..."

...

"W... What? What the hell just happened? Is this real?"

The red haired Girl said in astonishment.

"There's no way... This guy just hit 4 100 metre long Sixes like it was nothing?"

Yes... The usually Non aggressive, treat the ball per merit kinda guy just smashed 4 100 m long Sixes in just 6 balls.

Than he left the last Over To Steven...

"Well... My cousin seems to be doing well..."

She said Outta nowhere...

"Wait that guy's your cousin?"

"Yaa... The left handed Batsman hitting long Sixes himself... That's my Cousin brother. He's part of the sub family of Steve.

Well... We haven't had much to talk about these days after I brushed off him off..."

"How am I supposed to answer to such suddenly piece of information..."

"It's fine... Just concentrate on the match."

And so they concentrate on the man who was currently on strike and the man who was on the non striker's end completely talking apart the Bowling line up

End the last over with 3 sixes by Steven and 2 by Revin ending his Stay with a good 54.

Ending the 5th match with a total of 140/4...

Could you believe we were 14/4 by the end of 3 and scored about 126 runs in total.

...

We had a hard time because the team was quite strong when it came to their batting...

But we ended the match by winning with 5 runs to spare.

That was how we won the 5th consecutive match and qualified for the 20 over format...

And than barely Won the 6th match and miserably lost the 7 match...

Looks like the final match against team 7 was probably the match that made us realise that this wasn't enough...

We were bowled out for 42 runs and never seemed like we were in rhythm that match...

It was a complete Destruction from their side.

It appears that with this the 3 teams have been selected from our group...

It as our group 17, Group 36 and group 7 going to the round of 15 which is a 20 over format.

Meaning rather than 10 overs a total of 20 overs will be bowled.
