A few days back when Pinkesh sent out a spreadsheet consisting of our scores and results, till date, our captain Ajay responded with a little statistic of his own:
I was keeping track of my batting statistics for year 2010.
- Played 37 matches J
- Scored 1221 runs (5 times not out)
- Average = 38.15
- 100’s = 3 (Lost once after scoring 100 against Unisys)
- 50’s = 8 (Lost once after scoring 50 against Samsung)
- 8 times got out on 40’s
- As Captain: 26 matches! Won 19. Lost 7
Before any of us realized the mistake in the calculations, he re-sent the email with the correct figures:
Recalculating…….average and runs…some error…
It feels better now J
A truly amazing average....and couple that with a team win to loss ratio of 66.67%, this year, it is quite obvious that in the game of cricket the Openers have a big role to play.
A good opening stand is worth its weight in Gold, but even if one of the Opening batsmen sticks on till the middle overs, it not only provides a great boost to the rest of the team, but also works to demoralize the bowling attack.
Ajay has done a great job in leading us, from the front, for a long long time now and despite his first ball duck in the recent finals, we all felt he richly deserved the following prize:
While others were too busy trying to find their names in the frame, I wasn't to be left behind.
Yep....it's true. You see that little reflection at the bottom left of the plaque. That's me!!
I swear it guys. I was standing behind Pinki when he took this photograph.
So, to summarize. A big 'Thank You' to Ajay for everything and a big 'Thumbs Up' to Pinkesh for that wonderful frame.
Till next time - Cheers!!
