Blitz has always been a bowling team in the eyes of its members, and it was viewed as a bowling team with a couple batsmen by the cricbay community until May 3rd, 2009. Few years from now, the happenings on May 3rd, 2009 will attain even more significance, and we will always look back at May 3rd as the day when the batsmen came out of their shell. The talent was always there, the sky was the limit, but did the batsmen from blitz have confidence in themselves? - hard to answer that question; but I am ready to announce that our batting has arrived, and what an arrival it was! In Braly park, under difficult batting circumstances, with the wind against the batsmen, facing a top 10 cricbay team - Jiggy slams boundaries and goes above the field, Tushar picks the gaps at will and goes through the field, Mountu plays his shots with alacrity and leaves the bowlers clueless, and all this while the pillar of our batting, and captain extraordinaire Puneet watches. For once he didn't have to carry the batting on his shoulders. Little did the Champs know that there was more batting waiting in the dug out, and, had we played first on Sunday, we could have set an unattainable target.
Do we have a complete team? - hard to answer that question too. Can we win games with just batting, when the bowling attack has an off day - HELL YEAH! Hopefully, this performance inspires everybody to step it up a notch and focus, not get overconfident, and make the Platinum round.
Go Blitz!

Arun Ramachandran, being the modest soul that he is, has conveniently avoided mentioning his 2 telling blows at the very end which sealed the match for Blitz in a hurry.
Have to say buddy, those were 2 of the cleanest hits I have seen so far in Cric Bay .....Looking forward to watching many many many more of these from the best seat in the ground(non-striker).
