*Slam*
I hit the bat on the ground as i barely managed to evade the last ball of the first over from going into the wickets.
Bud really did everything he possibly could to take my wicket. Glad i survived the first over.
I have to survive another 9 overs and i can make use of the flat tracks at the back end when it get's easier to bat on.
For now, the Mission is to get to 60 by the end of the 10th over.
"For now, let's try and get 60 of the first 10, We can think about it afterwords. Just take risks on bad balls. The ones on length... Don't try anything funny for now."
"You don't get to boss me around man. Why Don't you take care of yourself while i take care of mine."
This fuckin... Well... whatever, You can go fuck yourself with that attitude.
"Hey... listen for a bit."
Did this fuck really show me the middle finger?
What a fucking dickhead.
...
"What a reckless shot... He tries to slam the ball over Long on when the length wasn't even there to do that... He goes back into the pavilion. Thats the 3rd wicket down for nothing. 1.1 done, It's 0 for 3 down."
"Wow, Hmm... Seoul get's beaten both in football and now in cricket aswell. How sad."
"Well... who knows."
...
this fkin shithead was all high and mighty only to get out of thr very first ball.
"Hey, listen to me... This swing Will probably continue on until the next 9 overs. We'lll have enough time after this to be aggressive. So for now... Just take singles and let's get to 60-70 runs by the 20 over mark yaa?"
"..."
What the fuck are you staring at me man, shut up and listen... I've played the game for more than 10 years and i've watched over a million matches in my past life.
"Please man... if we lose this game, It'll be hard to qualify for the semi final. Cone on."
"Sigh* Fine."
After i geard him say fine... i was so releived that i almost jumped in joy.
"I assure you, Well win this game as long as we get around 140-150 runs."
That... may be the goal right now... But, getting to 160-170 might be a better option.
"Alright... The ball is swinging alot, It's sometimes holding on the pitch and sometimes just coming on to the bat well. That happens when the ball is pitched on the length and the slot ball. It's holding on when pitched on good length. Just keep that in mind."
"Ya fine."
I hope he listened to me...
...
"Edged and gone... 4 down... what a jaffer, It pitched on leg stump and swung at 4th stump, he had no answers."
"I can't watch this... It's very sad to look at."
"I know... They are playing like amatures."
"At the end of 3, they are 4 down. for a mere 7 runs. After 3, It's 7 for 4."
"Well... even i can't feel optimistic now."
"Hey, why don't you check the average score in a cricket game. It must be something around 100-120 right? They'll probably get there. No?"
"Let me check... Aah..."
"What is it? How much does it show? 140? 150? THE FUCK!!"
"180-200? That's not possible... How can someone score that much?"
"Well... maybe I'll go back home now. It's not going to make much of a difference now that 4 are down. I Don wanna watch a losing match."
"Come on, let's just watch his Batting and than let's go back hmm?"
"Yaa... stay until he's done his batting."
Than bomi reluctantly sat back down.
"Well... it's not like he'll stay for long anyway."
...
I gave the exact insturctions to the new guy Gyeong. He's doing pretty well but the best part is that... The pitch is getting better.
he's helping me anchor the innings because he's taking the necessary risk.
I was currenly at 20/24. which is trust me a very shit score but i'm for now trying to catch up with my score.
I'm timing the ball better and the ball too isn't sticking to that good length all that much.
It's coming on nicely.
Just wait for a ball that's in the slot...
a single, because it wasn't a slot ball.
The other one though is at 26/14
Which is excellent. It was the 9th over.
and he's doing well putting thr pressure onto the bowlers.
He's hit 4, fours and the remaining were singles and doubles.
He's taken single of almost every ball that he didn't hit for a boundary.
He's done very well.
While i on the other hand was at 21/25.
Without a single boundary.
But than again, he's been very tight not allowing me to hit through the line.
it's very irritating honestly.
...
"13 overs down and they are 78/4. It's a good comeback after what happened at the beginning, but still there's much left to be desired with Both Ji yeong scoring 42/42 and G Yeong getting 34/22."
"What's this guy doing? Playing like that?"
"What? I feel like he's doing good right now isn't he?"
"Look at the other guy... he's scored 8 runs less but the ball difference is 20? He'd probably hit those 20 balls difference in just 2 balls. He's also kinda handsome too isn't he?"
"Well... you are right, he deos seem to be dragging the team down even though he's doing his best."
"Stop saying that... we don't even know what he's thinking."
"Well we are pretty sure he's..."
"He's picked the bones out of that one. The spund of the bat... Was musical. Is this what will make him get going?"
"Looks like he hit a six."
"Sure did."
...
A damn slot ball right when i needed it.
Let's see if he'll Do what i think he Will.
I purposefully hit it right above his head for a six to spike his ego.
Because i know the enxt one he will ball will be.
*Slam*
A short ball.
Whenever a bowler's ego is hurt he'll ball a short ball and that gave me a short ball.
I anticipated it and that's why i was able to hit it for six.
Now, it's either a short ball or a yorker.
To avoid getting into two minds... I'll stand outside my crease.
...
["That's a great tactic... He's playing with the mind of the bowler by coming out of his crease."]
["Exactly, He's already anyicipated the short ball and now he probably knew the bowler will bowl a Yorker or a short ball to Assist dominance."]
*Slam*
["He's hit it, But there's a fielder there and it goes way over his head another Six. This man is doing something great here."]
["As expected him standing outside the crease led the Bowler to hastily bowl a short ball and it wasn't as short as the bowler wanted it and he pulls the ball towards deep backward square leg. There's a fielder there but it goes over him."]
"I Don't understand the technicalities but I'm getting goosebumps."
"Hah... i knew he wasn't normal."
While Bomi and the boss were happily rejoicing him playing like a demon's awakened inside him
Seo yeon just saw a smile inside the helmet of Ji yeong as he highfived his teammate which made her smile aswell.
