Friendly Match vs Strømmen
Strømmen bating frist put up a target of 169 in 22 overs n Aliens chased it with ease n fun. It was a fun friendly game where both teams n all players had great time on the field.
It was a typical Norwegian summer weather, with overcast conditions.
Some fun details below 👇
This friendly match was significantly delayed for about 1 hours as both teams had forgotten to bring stumps. While there were numerous emergency pH calls were in progress both teams were losing significant sacrificed family time. Aliens helping captain Sudesh, took some inspiration from village cricket n put two rectangular block of wood to make for stump. Until Benival ( the opposition captain) manage some one to locate stumps n bring to ground.
Aliens balling strategy:)
Aliens had a quick team meeting and decide collectively that since we are playing a 22 over match that all 11 players will throw 2 overs each. Opening balling was done by Sushil, by the time his first over was done , one set of stumps has arrived, n in the second over the wooden block was set up for non striker end.
Our keeper was happy 😊 to work behind proper stumps.
Father son Bating together:)
Our blaster batsman Prateek got to bat with his father Pawan after 20 years . Which was a very special, heart touching moment of the game for all of us.
Prateek n Pawan Agnihotri.
Also it was a conscious dececion to give everyone batting time in the middle n we gave all our team members enough time to bat n they performed very well.
Realization :- One thing we all spook about was that how we perform well when we are relax n don't take too much pressure n the quality of Aliens players is good to get then over the line as long as we go in with positive mind set. N have fun on the field.
The opposition was so happy playing with us that they threw one over extra in the end of the match for fun. For the Alien standing skipper :))))
