On a gloomy day with very less chances of rain, BOCC won the toss and decided to bowl based on past games of successfully chasing well against Khyber. Our new ball bowling pair Sanjeev (3 Wks.) and Mitul (1 wk) were spot on from ball one & choking the Khyber batsmen for any runs. The first breakthrough came in the form of Sanjeev caught by Jon in the slips of their highest run scorer of the season followed by Mumtaz caught by Mitul at extra covers with a couple of juggles. This was followed by Mitul clean bowling the other opener. There were signs of a low total on hands with this great start. But after that a flurry of dropped catches and some resistance by Aziz W, Adalat K and Majeed took them to a respectable score of 204 at the end of 38 Overs. Sushant (2 wk’s), Gurpreet (2 wk’s) and Neil (1 wk’s) bowled superb and tried to contain their batsmen. But the best bowler of the day was Sushant who was tough to score off all day. Dropped catches and too many extras resulted in 30-40 extra runs. But BOCC was confident of chasing the target down based on how we have chased against them in the past.

    We started the batting with Gavish (9) & Mitul (10) who could not unleash into their shots because of good tight opening spell by the Khyber Bowlers. Gavish was run out to a brilliant throw from the covers and Mitul perished almost immediately caught at point. Sanjeev (22) and Dill (8) started building a partnership and hit a couple of boundaries but departed soon enough. Krish (13) trying to up the anti-got caught behind the stumps. At this point Charles (33) and John (38) had about 130 runs they needed to get in about 14 overs. But good bowling and fading light got the better of both. Arunav (8), Sushant (6), Neil (13) and Gurpreet (1*) tried to put up a fight but fell short by 23 runs.

    It was great season for our spinners with Neil finishing with most wickets, followed by Sushant, Gurpreet, Anurag and Prady. Our Pace attack led by Kunal, Sanjeev, Mitul and Aizaaz (Best Find of the season) bowling their hearts out getting us those early breakthroughs. Our openers Sunil Bhai, Vishnu, Prady, Gavish, Mitul, Shariq Bhai giving us great starts all through the season. Our rock-solid middle order Dilpreet Paaji, Jon, Sanjeev, Krish, Bhishma, Parth who helped us win many a game. Our keepers Arunav and Praveen playing crucial knocks when needed and flinging themselves (Mostly Arunav ??). Nikhil, Charles P, Hruday and Abhishek T chipped in whenever they got chance’s in the season. Special thanks to Gurdish Paaji, Jason, Karandeep G for helping when needed. If I missed anyone I am sorry but you all were integral so us to get so far in the season.

  Memorable season with more some great memories. It was an honor to lead all of you whenever I got a chance. Enjoy the winter and see you all next year!
