RNW have their job cut out from them against FCC

With the first match over and Frost Cricket Club winning a thriller, we egaerly look forward towards the second match. For RNW, the job have been cut out for them against FCC. They need to attack the team with a determined effort. The fielders need to back the bowlers and the batsmen will have to play through the innings. The team has released the playing 11.

1. Anba
2. KK
3. RV
4. Guna
5. Kothand
6. Viji
7. Vishwa
8. Shankar
9. Tashi
10. Moraji
11. Sharath
12. Aditya

There are three changes made to the team. Pradeep, myself and Aditya (Adi) is out while, Moraji, Shankar and RV are in. RV was supposed to play the first match but was out due an injury he sustained in the previous match. With RV, Shankar and Moraji back in the squad, we can expect RNW to go full guns blazing.

I am not sure about the FCC line-up. But rumors has it that Viren might be in the playing 11. He is a formidable bowler and can do some hard hitting with the bat as well. All RNW has to do now, is it go out there and play their natural game. This will ensure their success in this match and the series as well.

Watch out for RNW@twitter as I will be doing some up-to-date posting on Sunday.

There was a mild scare when the Rain God's threatened a down-pour today. However, after some intense praying from me, the Rain God's were pleased and decided not to play spoil-sport.

The match is all set, the ground has been booked (I was told today morning that there might be a cancellation!) and all team members are eager to go ahead.

Lets wait and see what the result is tomorrow. Will give you a full detailed report on Sunday night after the match is over.

Until then, its me signing off!
