We didn\u2019t have the BCF officials and 12 Stars captain JD was kind enough to do the toss even though the Liege CC arrived quite late. The captain wasn\u2019t aware of dire consequences of the same.<\/p>\n<p>12 Stars lost the toss but got what everyone wanted. ie., Batting !!! We didn\u2019t have our official openers Rahul\/Prem and hence Gannu and Ramee opened the batting. To everyone\u2019s surprise both batted superb and they built a healthy 70 runs partnership before it was broken on the penultimate ball before the drinks. Ramee fell for a well made 24 runs. Gannu was accompanied by others who came in and went and during this time 12 Stars umpire gave 2 LBW decision. \u00a0Gannu also fell for a well made 60 runs in the 27<sup>th<\/sup> over. Then, came JD accompanied by Ravi the veteran from Liege\u2026 Liege CC knew everything about Ravi but they didn\u2019t know that Ravi is now with 12 stars and has revamped a lot. \u201cJetSon\u201d (Judson Syndrome !!!) started the massacre and Ravi mentioned during the over break \u201cJD when you can hit a 4 why can\u2019t I ?\u201d.. Ravi accompanied JD till 42<sup>nd<\/sup> over and he made very valuable 25 runs (3 wonderful fours).<\/p>\n<p>JD hit massive sixes (thanks to Gannu\u2019s bat !!) and at one point their opening bowler Saqib who is by far the fastest than any of the 12 stars guys was hit for 26 runs in an over !!! Till then his economy was really good\u2026<\/p>\n<p>JD scored 89<sup>*<\/sup> not-out at the end (10 fours and 5 massive sixes)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>12 Stars-2 made a huge target of 258 runs&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We had the nice lunch from Ravi and we started the second inns..<\/p>\n<p>JD\u2019s first ball =&gt; Ganga\u2019s brilliant running catch at mid-on =&gt; Dangerous Ali Raza was gone !!! Immediately at the other end Ramee took 2 wickets and the scoreboard was 5 for 3.. Liege CC was never in picture and we controlled a lot. Then Yasir Mehmood (Raza Ali) batted well but Ganga dropped simple catch at long on for him. We subsequently dropped some important catches and he capitalized on them\u2026 But, special mention has to be given Arshvir for his stunning 2 catches, one of them was hit by \u201cAnton Sanjeeva\u201d in covers like a bullet and without any hesitation Arsh took that catch !!! The batsman was standing at the crease for quite long time in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p>Then, their wicket keeper \u201cChand Ghuman\u201d came in. He played quite well and was well accompanied by Yasir and they were cruising.. Then, Gannu pulled back the run rate well and took the important wicket of Yasir by a good run out (Ganga\u2019s help)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Drama: <\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No where Liege CC was able to reach as they were 8 wickets down for 215 runs. Then it was 236 for 9 wickets\u2026 Now JD brought himself back in to the attack and Chand was unable to play at all.. He got twice LBW in an over\u2026 Umpire Ali Raza didn\u2019t give out. With a hue and cry (as 12 stars always play according to the spirit of the game) allowed things to proceed. In Ramee\u2019s next over there was\u00a0 a clear edge to the keeper and everyone heard the sound. Umpire still didn\u2019t give out\u2026 At the end they won the game with foul play\u2026 12 Stars captain\u2019s best innings and bowling (I would say) had gone in vain\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In the name of \u201cDiplomacy\u201d and being good, we have lost this game.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Take-Aways:<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When there are no BCF officials, follow some guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Opponent arrives late: Award Penalty runs.<\/li>\n<li>No toss.<\/li>\n<li>Decide at the toss itself that there will not be any LBW decision. Easy to follow and consistent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end it was quite nice to see that 12 Stars second team have really matured and playing as a team. Kuddos to that and wins will automatically follow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Gannu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Match: Division 4 \u2013 12 Stars-2 Vs Liege CC-2 Date: 16-Aug-2017 Scorecard: https:\/\/www.crichq.com\/matches\/549571\/1st_innings Author: Ganesh Ramasubramanian On the bright and sunny day 12 Stars arrived at the ground to see their opponents as usual not arrived at all.
