The 14th over ended with 22 runs conceived in it.
The score after 14 was 100/4.
And my score was 64/48.
And so, probably my best innings so far came into fruition.
...
"I can't believe this... What just happened? They were just 100 in the 14th over... And they scored 80 in the next 6? Without losing any wicket."
"Wow... Do we get matches like this every time when playing cricket? That was intense... From being 7/4... now they were 180/4. And... that score... 100?"
"Scoring a 100? How many Homeruns did he hit at the end there? After those 3 Homeruns?"
"Those are called sixes bomi."
"Yaa.. Yaa that, He doesn't seem... That unrelaible suddenly. The way he played... if it was a popular sport.. I'm sure a lot of women would be asking for his number right now."
...
Haa... I've never played such a good innings. After getting hit around for a bit, their entire team collapsed not understanding what to do.
Out of the 25 balls i played in the end, 20 of them were slot balls or full tosses.
Some tried bouncers but they weren't very well controlled.
They just let go of the game in the end.
80 runs in 6 overs... Is not a joke, It was more about thr balling not being up to the mark at the end than anything else.
Out of the 20 slot balls i could only manage around 42 runs. The real aggressor was that guy... what an innings he played... He helped me in the beginning and in the end aswell. The 38 runs came off him. If it weren't for his anchoring at the end and aggression at the beginning.. It'd have been impossible to get to this score.
He's tried his best to give me the strike at the end while he took most of the strike at the beginning knowing i was struggling.
Salute,
I got a bit emotional and saluted his play to which he looked at me a bit weirdly and just walked away.
Ooh shit, went into army mode for a bit there.
Wait a second i just made 100 damn runs didn't i?
I made a hunderd for the very first time in my life.
I made a damn hundred.
"I MADE A FKIN HUNDRED!!"
Aah... ended up shouting unnecessarily...
shit, everyone is laughing now.
"Well played man."
"Wow, I've never seen someone play like that."
"Seriously man, I've only seen professionals play like that."
"Haa... you were so angry at the way he was playing just moments ago... Look at you now, Sugarcoating things."
I felt a bit awkward listening to their praises as i told them the reality of the situation.
"Haha... Thanks, It's really thanks to this guy that i was able to play like that. If it weren't for Gyeong, I'd have definately not been able to play like that. If anything He's the real hero."
"Huh... Well, I did my best but couldn't catch up in the end. It's all thanks to you we managed to get to 182. I believe It's a very good score on this pitch."
"Now, it's all up to the batters and the cap to take over. Show us what ya got Kim."
While everyone is rejoicing their almist certain victory from the jaws of defeat, It was only alan who was perplexed.
Why? The severity of the situation was actually much worse than everyone expected it to me.
Because, due was already in play before the 10th over, so it's going to be very hard to bowl in those comditions.
It's definately going to swing. It's a matter of for how long.
If they manage to score even 70 in the first 10 and survive without much lost, We'll be backed into a corner.
"The game isn't over Guys. Let's get this first win under the belt and celebrate after we get to the dugout with happy smiles and a W in the points table."
Yup, that's a very good temperament for a Captain, Never let your guard down until the very end.
...
The two main bowlers took the new ball, The captain Bowlin the first over while Beom Seok bowls the second.
the first over went well, Tho there was no wicket the lines were very tight.
Good length, top of off, Classic test match line and length.
I was more worried about this guy, Because he's been treated badly by me in that 1 over i played against him.
He's in a pretty bad situation considering what he went through about 1 hour ago.
I hope he's fine.
...
"Well... It's time for me to leave."
Bomi got up from her chair bidding the 2 farewell.
5 Minutes later Seo bid the boss farewell as she too left for her Date with her BF.
Only the boss sat alone on the chair watching the tv.
Felt pitiful for a bit, for not having a boyfriend at her age.
While she's barely 34, she still looks very young and beautiful. It's just that she's never found anyone worth her time.
Simply put, she's never been really interested in anyone. Leading to her current lonely state.
Because, she's past her marriageable age. And, now people have been more interested in younger wom3n.
Both singles of her age and singles lounger than her. So, even though she was very beautiful, her age made people disinterested in her.
"I wish i'd accepted that guy, He was pretty handsome aswell. Now I'm alone in a room Watching a dude play with a stick and a ball..."
[Bold emm, 1 down Seok has done it, He's got the breakthrough.]
"Well... whatever."
...
"Well bowled. Well bowled."
"Man that was a jaffer."
"The swing is great, I feel alive again."
He stared at me for a bit with contempt as he started walkibg back to his mark.
He highfived me obviously. He was just worried about his bowling.
It's probably just a sense of rivalry than anything.
"1 more, let's get 1 more boys. 1 more and we back them into a corner."
He ran towards the batsman, He delivered the ball, the moment it pitched on a good length on off stump, It swung outwards.
Causing the man to upen up his defense a bit.
He made the amature mistake of going after the ball.
Ya Don't do that when you are Defending...
It nicked the bat but it was a healthy edge, I peaped to my right, trying to catch the ball.
Just a bit more i thought as i stretched my palms closer to the ball.
It all happened in a split second but for me... It felt like an eternity.
As, i took the catch rolled about once and threw the ball in the air in delight.
And so another wicket gone.
