Milestones


Instead of doing the usual match analysis, I thought of covering some milestones which 
our players are approaching. Probably we all can celebrate it on the field with our famous wide chant when they achieve it. 

Puneet - This Captain of ours (called Captain Charisma by few ;) ) crossed 400 Cricbay 
career runs in the game against Cougars! Congrats captain, way to go.
Milestones:
1. He needs 12 more runs to reach the 100 run mark this season.

Akshay - Mr VC,  is definitely one of the well behaved player on the field. I have never seen 
him loose his temper on field, always calm and collected. 
He has in fact, crossed quite a few milestones in past few games. 
Milestones:
1. Crossed 50 Cricbay career runs in game against Daredevils.
2. Game against Cougars was his silver jubilee game for Blitz. 
3. Already achieved 25 fielding dismissals!
Kudos VC, way to go!

Kasat- I don't know whether to call him Right arm leg-break/off-break or medium pace, I think it is fair to address him as 'Right Arm Unplayable'  ;)
Milestones:
1. Needs 4 more wickets to achieve 25 Cricbay Career Wickets & 15 wickets this season.

Avinash - Hit Avi-Lee for a good shot and don't expect the next ball to be any lower than your 
face ;). I guess we are missing those beamers and especially what I call the 'Avi-Roar'. Get 
well soon dude and start roaring.
Milestones:
1. Needs one wicket to claim 50 Cricbay career wickets.(Now who doesn't know that!!)

Aditya - Kickass allrounder! He is one intimidating bowler any batsman can face, especially 
when he bowls a beautiful ball to you, he will walk towards you like a bull and look at the ground where the ball had pitched! 
If i have to give him a nick it would definitely be 'Mean Killer'!
Milestones: 
1. Needs MOM in the game against GSCC to make it a Hatrick of MOMs.
2. Needs 20 more runs to achieve 50 runs this season.

Kartik - He claims his nickname to be Kaata, but personally i would like to call him Practice man ;). There are times when i reach home after a game, check my mails to already see a practice invite for next weekend from Practice Man :D
Milestones:
1. Needs 26 more runs to achieve 200 Cricbay Career runs
2. Needs 6 more wickets to claim 75 Cricbay Career wickets

Satish - Likes to be called Jonty & has lived up to it by some marvellous effort in the field apart from his Wall-like defense techniques and pre-meditated leaves ;). 
Milestones:
1.Needs 1 more run! to achieve 100 Cricbay Career runs
2. Needs 3 more runs to achieve 50 runs for this season (hoping to see him achieve both in 
the next game he plays)

Montu - I enjoy watching this swashbuckling batsman in full flow. Though most times i have 
to watch him from dug-out :(, i bet it is lot of fun to be on other end and watch him 
run-blazing.
Milestones:
1. Needs 15 more runs to achieve 200 Cricbay Career runs
2. Needs 6 more runs to achieve 50 runs for this season.

Arun - Now we all know and have talked about "Coach-Arun-Captain's"six hitting abilities. 
it is given that he can connect and clear fields at will .But what is interesting for me is 
his "Coach (read agony aunt)" role. I think i know a few players who were/are using his 
coaching services.(I think he will kill me for this ;) )
The list of players has been kept confidential for privacy reasons :D
Milestones:
1. Needs 2 more wickets to achieve 25 Cricbay Career Wickets
2. Need 32 runs to reach the 200 Cricbay Career runs mark.

Go Blitz!!
