27/Dec/2012 Match SIEMENS Vs Huwaei

27/Dec/2012 Match Vs Huwaei

 

Morning 7:00 Am the temp. was around 7 Deg. Freezing , also coupled with heavy wind which doubled the cooling effect ,

 

SIEMENS Team Lead by Sharjil includes Khalid Maruf , Azeem , Anees , Adeel Qureshi , Karthik Venugopalan , Sakthi , Shaid , Prasad , Khan Faisal & Prabhu ,

 

Huwaei Team won the toss & opted to bat first , they batted decently finding boundaries very frequently , Where as in the SIEMENS side many midfields which could have reduced the total , many catches dropped as well , On the bowling side few extras as well ,  The first break through came from Prasad after 8 Consecutive wides , Azeem , Khan Faisal , Shaid , Khalid , Sharjil did a decent job to bring down the scoring rate & stop them at 185  ,

 

SIEMENS Batting line-up had a Major change , Khalid gave up his opening slot to Anees & Prabhu to prop up them by giving them a chance , Anees utilized the opportunity started to attack the bowlers from the very beginning , Prabhu supported Anees did find few boundaries , Anees did his best hitting two sixes what a hidden talent , A class batting from him , but over all the RR was not met ,  Then Anees was rested and Khan Faisal was brought in to accelerate the score , He started to deliver the required in his style , scattering the balls to the boundaries , picking up quick singles & doubles , Prabhu Caught behind was replaced by Sharjil lost his wicket in a similar manner to a Bouncer ,

 

Though it was called No-Ball but a bouncer in a over is allowed the decision ‘Out’ was given , Khalid a great confidence to SIEMENS was sent to crease but lost his wicket early in the process of score acceleration , Then the Wickets started to fall after Khan Faisal dismissal , Shaid , Karthik ( Caught Behind ) & Sakthi , Sakthi had a big greeting from the huawei team , his name was famous but went after a wide ball lost his wicket c&b , Karthik was told to play calmly buy attempted for a slow ball was caught behind in the first ball he faced , Prasad went after a slow ball caught in the boundary with a broad smile in his face , Qureshi managed to edge the ball & find two consecutive boundaries lost his wicket in the same over , Azeem who did a great job in the field after a long time got a chance to bat , which did not last long when Qureshi lost his wicket , Finally the team was all-out , in the Tail Enders Qureshi was the highest scorer ,

 

Over All a nice match , but it could have been a tight match if he extras & Mis-fields were controlled from the first over ,

However a big smile in Anees face after revealing his batting talent ,

 

 

 

The lessons learned are to control the extras & Mis-Fields , z`z` z` z` z` z`

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once again a nice Captainship by Sharjil ……………….

Match SIEMENS VS DAR Engineering - Thursday ( 20/12/2012 ) at Eid Gha ground Malaz

 

      Nearly after Five weeks I am writing this blog , due to lack of update & interest from People , In the mean time a Match with DAR Engineering & Areva was lost & a Match with Huwaei was won in the Captainship of Akbar ,

 

      A Wonderful day, the rain has just stopped before an hour , the ground is wet , The wind is heavy its freezing out 12 Deg. , A beautiful Rainbow was spotted during the drive to the ground , A rare natural beauty especially very rare in Saudi Arabia ,

Team was missing Ammar , Akbar , Rehan , Kaiser & Iqbal Sir , Which was filled by Azeem , Asim & Khan Faisal ,

 

Team SIEMENS opened their innings with Khalid Maruf & Prabhu , both the planners were sent to open the Match , Khalid off the Mark , back on Track ( 53 ) runs , proved his excellence again , Prabhu who usually finds the dressing room early , Spent some time making few runs for the Team (17) , Sharjil tried to accelerate the score but looses his wicket early , Khan Faisal (49) one short of his Fifty great Inning from him , good Partnership between Khalid & Khan Faisal , Then Asim partnered with Khalid Maruf making few useful runs in the end , Khalid Maruf ( Not Out ) stood firmly finding his sixth fifty after falling short in the previous three Matches , He contributed 6 Fifty out of 10 Matches played , well done Khalid , Finally the Team put a total of 178 for 16.0 Overs with Anees , Azeem , Sakthi , Qureshi & Shaid still to bat

 

DAR Engineering Opened their batting with Habib & Saleem , Saleem Catch was dropped by Sakthi , a difficult to hold it in the Winter , Saleem keeps rocketing all the balls over the pavilion , he was seen unstoppable , Habib was in attacking Mode attacking all the balls , He ended his batting with 4 Boundaries , Then DAR Engineering played steadily , Two high catches were dropped by Prabhu in the End bad judgement , Sharjil took a low catch driven straight to him , Shaid opened the bowling attack did his best , Khan Faisal did a fantastic job in bowling as well , Asim as usual stunned their scoring rate , Qureshi did bowl well with four wides only , Sharjil & Khalid also bowled well but the runs were pouring out , DAR Engineering were short of 20 Runs at the end of 16^th over ,

Match with SIEMENS Vs DAR Engineering 15/Nov/2012

Date	15/Nov/2012
Match with	SIEMENS	Vs	DAR Engineering
Captain	Akbar Shariff		Adeel

 

Welcome to Siemensksa.blogspot.com,

SIEMENS Team members were on time as requested , DAR Engineering Team was slowly being assembled , the Toss was done by Akbar & Raj Kumar , DAR Won the Toss & Elected to Bat first ,

 

A small change in the SIEMENS team , Ammar went to Umrah , Mr. Iqbal declined the request at the last moment due to personal reasons so Asim Qayeem was requested to join the team ,

 

The SIEMENS bowling attack was started by the Captain Akbar himself , usually Azeem starts the attack , to the contrary Captain with full confidence started the Over a nice start from SIEMENS , Rehan who did the second over got a Yester year Hitter Raj Wicket a Wonderfull Catch by Sakthi , For Sakthi it happens a few times , but bad luck Raj , Then Asim Qayeem did a pretty decent over controlling the boundaries & picked two main wickets Adeel & Amir Malik , Adeel Qureshi who did two Over’s with a wicket did only 5 Wides a good come back , great improvement in his bowling , Khalid was called in the last who did a decent over for 8 Runs which including a six in the last ball , Azeem did his first over in a decent manner but the second could not be contained two catches been missed in his over one by Sharjeel & the other by Prabhu , Sharjeel did a over which was plundered by Saleem & Amir Malik two set Hitters , With all the best bowling efforts by SIEMENS , DAR Engineering managed to put a Defensive Total of 157 / 16.0 Over’s ,

 

 

 

 

 

 

SIEMENS Opened their Batting with Khalid & Sakthi , in the view of strategy that One hitter & non-hitter , but on the contrary the strike was not rotated properly , the X Captain Sakthi was missing the balls & failed to rotate the strike , The pressure build up on Khalid to meet up the required RR , When he started to accelerate he lost his wicket for 12 Runns , which includes a fantastic four in the Off-side , SIEMENS Lost their Main Wickets , Khalid Misses his Fifty for the second time , Then the Wickets started to fall continually , Prabhu ( 5 ) evaded his hatrik duck  , Rehan who was the next big hope ( 4 ) , Sharjeel ( 34 0 , his consecutive form in the last two matches has pulled the team from the rock bottom loss , Akbar played sensibly but not  enough to meet the target ( 21 ) , Asim Qayeem who did his best in the bowling , tried to accelerate the score but Amir Malik bowling was pretty good to control him for 13 , Anees ( 2 ) & Balaji ( 2 ) Not out last standing batsman ,

 

 

Things to appreciate

• Nice keeping by Balaji ( SIEMENS )
• Good Bowling by Asim Qayeem ( SIEMENS )
• Solid Batting by Saleem & Amir Malik ( DAR )
• Nice Bowling by Amir Malik ( DAR )
• Good come back by Adeel ( SIEMENS )
• Good Batting by Sharjeel & Akbar ( SIEMENS )

 

Things Noticed ,

SIEMENS Team were assembled in the Field for more than from 7:00 Am , were all kept waiting to start the match , finally Match Started at 7:25 AM , The Captain has worked more in forming the strategies rather than applying it at the earliest , the sluggishness in implementation takes off the interest of the players , Some good moves in the planned batting order & few bad decisions from captain , Which are coupled with overconfidence & Misfielding at the end by the major team members had brought the team rating down , Finally a bad inconsistent batting line-up from SIEMENS had led them a way to lose the match with a Difference of 27 Runs , DAR they deserve the victory , a few disturbances in the middle , all in the Game , Let us see what the SIEMENS Team will do with Areva team on 22/Nov/2012 ,

 

Let’s wait & See

Match with DAR Engineering - 09/Nov/2012

Siemens Vs DAR Engineering on 09/Nov/2012

 

The Match after the Eid Holidays , a Nice climate in the morning , gentle cool breeze with the smiling Sun ,

The SIEMENS players were lead by Shakthi as the Captain ,

DAR Engineering were given Batting since their players had not arrived on time ,

 

DAR Engineering opened their innings very aggressively with Raj ( 34 off just 11 Balls )  & Imran , Tanveer 30 , Saleem 29 & Amir m ( 66 off 32 ) a nice play once again a nice play from Amir Malik , which lifted DAR Engineering to a Total of 190 / 16.0 Over’s , Initially SIEWMENS bowlers staggered but then stabilized the play with the fall of wickets in the third over , but could not hold it too long runs were pouring out from the bat , At this point Captaincy need to be criticized in terms of utilization of available bowling recourses ,

 

SIEMENS were posted a target of 191 , Opened the Match with Khalid & Rehan , Rehan who started to accelerate failed with 15 Runns of 7 Balls , Khalid ( 25 off 18 Balls ) who played calmly for a while tried to rush the scoring rate lost hi wicket to his Fav. Habib for a slow delivery ,  Anees ( 4 ) , Ammar ( 8 ) a continuously reaching the pavillion nowadays , Akbar ( 0 ) who lost his usual play gave a catch practice to the DAR Bowler , Sharjeel ( 29 off 21 ) & Shaid ( 60 off 26 ) both did a good for SIEMENS to end up with a decent total which is still 9 run’s short of Target , Balaji ( 1 ) , Adeel ( Golden Duck )  , Shakthi Captain ( 11 off 10 ) , Over all a Nice Match , but it was one sided when Rehan , khalid failed , Khalid continuous 50 was broken , hope he will keep his 50's going on from next match ,

 

Finally the team situation was could not be explained but depicted with the following picture ,

 

Just for fun , if hurts pls ignore ,

A good Come Back ( Sakthi (C) )

Oct/11/2012 Match with Alfanar DAR Engineering

 

However a Nice entertaining match it was , Thanks for all the Players DAR & SIEMENS ,

 

It's a Captains Come back from Previous Match critics ,

 

DAR Engineering Won the Toss & Elected to Bat first ,

They scored 159/9 a low total when compared to their teams batting Line-Up , Tayyab Ranna has once again pulled his Team up from being closing with low total , his efforts with 50 off 29 has brought DAR Engineering Ending with a Decent Total ,

A couple of Catches good catches were Taken by Azeem , Tallah & Khalid , A few critical wicket catches were dropped by the Siemens Player ( Two of them )  whom we considered as a Safe Hand never dropped Catches , but this day dropped a two injuring his finger , Overall Fielding in the Boundaries were excellent ,

 

Adeel who opened the Match closed his over at his best with only 5 Wides & 17 Runs as total , Azeem bagged 4 Wickets , Khalid Bowling was pretty Decent with only one extra & a catch on his over was dropped , Nice Bowling by Shaid claiming 2 Wickets , Akbar has come back as a bowler in the last three matches Nice bowling with 2 Wickets ,

 

 

         

 

 SIEMENS had a small change in the Opening , Khalid (as regular) & Rehan opened the Siemens inning, Slow & Steady , Wow really a good cricket from the openers , the Opening Partnership for the first time crossed 150 for no Loss of wicket , The Captain Sakthi in the Pavilion was urging the Players to accelerate , but the acceleration was done after the 10^th over when it was needed , which put Sakthi ( C ) in Peace , Khalid once again proved that he is consistent his third fifty has come up easily , Rehan was steady this time wanted to close the inning by himself didn’t play loose shots , played carefully got his 50 Mark hope the First one for him ,

The entire team was expecting to reach the target with no loss , but to the contrary Khalid got Run out ( 75 off 45 ) with 7’Sixes & 2’Fours , An upset but all happens , better luck next time for a Century , Tallah was sent to seal the win did perfectly with a 4 & 6 ,

Finally a Good Come Back by SIEMENS,

Things to appreciate - Bowling of Amir Afzal was excellent, a nice good length bowling,

 

 

 

 Nice Captaincy, implemented the lessons learnt from the previous matches, Used only four Main Bowlers, didn’t try any thing different,
