It was match 2, Against Anyang, we were batting second after they scored a measly 137 and got bundled out before playing all their overs.
And so the 2 openers came and by the 16th over i came in, with 24 more to get.
Got out trying to flick the ball between Long on and deep mid wicket, the placement wasn't quite right and ended up getting caught at Deep Mid wicket.
Got out for 7/5. Meaning 7 runs in 5 balls.
Than came Ha yoon and scored those runs easily.
It's nice we got talent in the middle order, Everytime the middle order of a team scores well throughout the series.
Winning the tournament is but guarenteed.
Even if the top order fails. If the middle order plays well, they can easily make up for the failure of the top order.
Now that we have the chance let's talk about the Openers, top order, Middle order and lower order.
Openers are 1&2 of the batting lineup. Top order involves, 3 to 5 While middle order involves 6 To 8 and lower order involves 9 to 11.
Openers are those who can build up the innings well, especially those who are good against the new ball's swing, seam and pace.
Top order, Involves those who can play both the new ball well and the old ball's challenging spin very well.
These are the Shields of the Batting Order.
Now, onto the next Part. The Middle order, These people are supposed to be naturally aggressive and should be good players of spin.
These people are mostly those who can hit from ball 1 and get us a good score at the back end.
While the Openers and top order can build the innings well and play sensible cricket.
these people are expected to tonk the ball from ball 1 and get the team to a very good total.
And than comes the lower order. These are just bowlers who can't bat at all.
Or those who don't specialise in batting. They are more invested in bowling and never really improve their batting.
Except for defence or Tonking the ball. Their main base is power rather than timing and Gap finding.
More often than not they Don't really perform with the bat and end up gettibg caught wherever they hit the ball towards.
But, they are excellent bowlers... So just like excellent batsman aren't necessarily needed to bowl well, Excellent bowlers aren't necessarily supposed to bat well.
That's all you need to know about batting orders.
...
"Good all rpund performance from everyone. That's what i expect from everyone. Well done Chul for not getting bowled out on a golden duck again."
He joked
"Hahahaha"
Everyone laughed and that made Chul Smile a bit aswell.
Well, he isn't such a bad guy when i got to know him.
He was just exhausted and pissed after the match on top of that he got out on a duck.
He found it unnecessary to waste time after knowing how well Ha Yoon batted.
That was who he didn't find it weird the way he treated me.
But, it's all fine now. I don't really care, If our team doesn't play well because of internal feud than it'd all be bacause i was too egoistic to Have a proper relationship with him.
"I'm quite glad everyone came together and performed like a team. The bowling was good, The fielding was good and the batting was also great. I'm quite prowd of our performance today. 4 More wins from here on out and we are straight into semis. Let's keep this momentum and Get to the final and win this damn thing."
"YAAAAAA"
Everyone shouted in unison and so the After meeting was dismissed and we were told to get to the bus.
...
It was a hectic day, And as usual i went to work and came back home.
Today i was gonna get my pay check for the month.
My phone wasn't doing well and that's why i decided to buy a new one with the money i got.
That's why i came to the mall in hopes of findong a good one.
Well my budget is around 5,00,000 Won.
I needed something which could last for atleast 2 years minimum and that's why i did some research and found the perfect phone.
And so, i went into the store and bought it.
It costed around 5,25,000 went 25000 over budget but it's fine since all the money is mine anyway.
Now... Should i buy one for my dad or do i buy one for my sister?
Buying one for my stepmom would be a bit much right now.
My dad can buy one himself. My sister, She's in college and her mobile isn't working properly.
It might be a good idea to buy one for her too.
I did ask her what type of mobiles she likes, and she told me she likes the iphone alot.
But, than... It wasn't under budget so i aksed something cheaper. and she told me just the one i could buy.
Well, she wasn't suspecious so that's good.
Because, i intend to surprise her.
I did cover it up somehow but now i can buy her one too.
Well, I'm getting atleast 3 Million Won after the tournament ends as participation Salary.
if we end up in the top 4 than I'll get atleast 5 Million.
Maube, It'd be better to buy her an iphone once the tournament is over.
But, than buying her one after i get the full amount would be better.
I'll just wait until i get the entire amount.
While it will cost me around 1 Million won, It's still fine.
Better than wasting 1.5 Million by buying 2 if i do get more.
...
"I'm back."
"Welcome back."
My sister greeted me, i had something on hand and i gave it to her.
"What's this?"
"Food. Eat it, It's good."
She opened the Pack and asked me a question puzzled.
"I've never seen this before. What's this round Shaped food?"
"I was trying various Ethnic foods, i came across this. It's apparently called Naan made of garlic and that's curry made of Dairy products that's like japanese tofu but made of milk."
"Hah... that sounds weird."
"It's indian food. It's vegetarian so i Don't know if you'll like it."
"Vegetarian? ----- Mmmmm, What the heck, Is this really vegetarian?? It's so good."
A grin appeared on my face as she said that.
"Glad you liked it."
I'm surprised to find indian food in Seoul. It's probably to cater to indian Tourists.
I'm quite glad i found it by chance.
"Share it with dad and mom too."
"Yese"
She said as she was stuffing her face.
