Shekhs said...

Seems like I better start bowling, get some training or we are in deep trouble....

Aditya said...

Shekhs,

That's funny man. You going to bowl spin or pace? ;-)

Shekhs said...

I dont know, I'll try them both, will keep bowling until someone calls me for chucking too...

ohhh....I'm scared. Please don't 'Expose' me sir :)

Shekhs,

Unlike other chuckers, Bhavesh actually bowlers quiet well, even when he doesn't chuck. So you shouldn't worry too much :)

neanderthal_walking said...

shekhs,

thats true. he could easily not be throwing and still be in top three bowlers

blogger said...

I agree with tango and n_w

Unknown said...

blogger said...
on a real note any spin bowler when he throws a faster one, he chucks beacuse with that runup and the action he's not going to be able to generate the pace.
PEACE............

blogger, Not sure which Div you play in...but if you in DIV II and next time you play us, I will have Narasimha bowl you a faster one....and NO, he doesn't chuck !

Peace to u 2, my brother.

Shekhs said...

I'm not too worried Tango.. :-)
Just was having fun..

Oh! I got a chukker in my team. If he starts chucking, he will take 10 wickets guaranteed :)
Or how about this?
Would you ban anyone over 40 from playing in Division I?:) Do you think that's an easy choice?

straight_drive said...

i like the first group chall, pak in one group, have to feel sorry for the other 2 teams there.

neanderthal_walking said...

doesnt look like drawing for night tourny right. group B and C are much weeker than A & D

Shekhs said...

About the chuckers in our team..

We had a meeting yesterday, to evaluate our chuckers..

Bhavesh said he went to Australia to correct his action alongwith Murali, and they finally said that it was a birth defect, so we have to live with it.
If any of you want a certificate to prove that, please contact Bhavesh, either call him or he will @ the Forest Preserve in Des Plaines every evening.

Rupesh, he didnt get a visa to go to Australia, because he couldn't speak English. So we are working on his English to get his Visa.

Lemme know if you have any questions.

Samir_PhoenixCC said...

Shiraz,
It states that Each team will provide 1 neutral umpire for 2 games during the course of the D/N tournament.

Are we playing only 2 or 3 games per team? Thanks.
Samir

neanderthal_walking said...

shekhs,

why dont you get sanjay to accompany rupesh? he could explain:))))))

Unknown said...

Shekhs,
And about Balaji, they thought he WAS Murali, so in fact, balaji was the first one to be cleared!

Anonymous said...

Shekhs, ND,

LOL...great stuff guys!

Keep it up :)

Rup said...

Agreed ND,
I wonder what was the criteria used for selecting the groups.
The groupings does not look fair putting the possible four best teams in two groups?.
This is what I was taliking about when I say if we are doing things that will kill cricket rather than promote.
The other four teams are probably thinking right now "Why did we Join, We got no chance at the playoffs". then there could be surprises??

Shekhs said...

Balaji does look like Murali doesn't he..?
I just got that.. :-)
Did you guys practice yesterday?

Unknown said...

tango, regrading u'r ques to addy....... does it imply chukking rule is not enforce by current prez...... is this current offical policy...... otherwise why ask the q? r u also going to ask addy if he going to enfroce lbw rule???????

Anonymous said...

ND,

I think they allotted the top teams according to where they finished the tournament last season.

For example, Challengers finished first, flames finished second, Muslim Gymkhana and Wildcats were the other semi-finalists. So they were ranked 1-4 this season.

Anonymous said...

Time?

I don't understand what your trying to ask me buddy. Can you be a bit more clear?

neanderthal_walking said...

tango,

thats wht i thought too but then how did they put other teams? dont see any logic. may be they could have used league stage standing for other non semi finalists. then probably common sense to put other new comers to night tourny.

Unknown said...

i ask same q that u asks addy...... but for current prez.....

DOES TARIWQ ENFROCE CHUKKING RULE CURRENTLY??

neanderthal_walking said...

where is cricketwallah? tango did you piss him off too?

Anonymous said...

Tariq is not a blogger. Or maybe he just pretends not to be one. So I highly doubt if he'll answer your question.

Anonymous said...

Did I piss of c8w? I hope not.

Anonymous said...

Hey ND,

how about we play the prediction game this week, with all the Division II teams?

Don't want our friends in Division II to feel left out.

neanderthal_walking said...

time.....

let me be the spokesperson for tariq. I dont think to be honest anything could be done to avoid chucking the league. we just dont have resources. I'm sure there are many more other bowlers chuck other than infamous chuckers. so if umpire call anyone for chucking that is going to be a big deal. lot of fuss, anger and prbably pants pulling down to show every limb in their body is naturaly bent.:).

we are just not profesional enough and our umpires are not trained enough. the other thing is, all the umpires are from the same circle so its hard because of the personal issues. so even though ADDY said he is going to enforce it who is going to watch? in the end umpires gotta do it. does ADDY or TARIQ gonna petrol every game? i dont think so.

however, there is one thing we can do. rather than caling someone for chucking umpires can report any particular bowler to MGMT and if, lets say, at least three umpires report the same bowler for chucking then MGMT can do something. either help him to correct his action or does not allow him to bowl.

Shekhs said...

N_D and Tango,
Here are my predictions for Div 2

Peoria Vs Arsenal - Arsenal
Q.C. Kings - Eagles - Eagles
West Suburban XI Springfield -SPI

Continental Universal - Continental
Warriors CCI - Warriors
Evanston Lucky XI - Evanston
Madison Illinois - Illinois
SIUE Collinsville - Collinsville
Tigers Raiders - Raiders

blogger said...

They should have wildcats-united or pak-challengers as th first night game as they are in the same pool. maybe lot of people will show up for this game. I will definetly go to watch either one of those games.

neanderthal_walking said...

tango, i need to recruit someone to advise me DIV II teams. but i try.

TUSHAR said...

good luck to all the teams and may the best team win.

TUSHAR said...

ND,

Thats a good compromise!

TUSHAR said...

shekhs,

tango, dikra tari jode hun bhi majha lao ne., thanks any ways

Doosra said...

ND,

Thats a good compromise!
---------------------------
Tango,
You still believe this management will do something about this??
Wake up you are in a dream

Anonymous said...

good_will_prevail,

I was just praising ND's idea!

I highly doubt if management will do anything about it.

SimonDispatch said...

Rup, Why do you always keep bitching/complaining about stuff? Some of us know your team is a full of bad losers, but damn it...give credit to people who are volunteering for getting the night tourney organized. You should have volunteered to form the groups. You didn't do it and now you are bitching about the formation of the groups. Shame on you.

neanderthal_walking said...

LOL tango, people just creat nicks to bash you. nice going my brother

Anonymous said...

ND,

Its all good. It comes with the job. If you give crap, you get crap!

Anonymous said...

I should use multiple nicknames, like I did last year.

Shekhs said...

Karma me boy...Karma..!!!
Goes around ...comes around...

:-)

Doosra said...

you all keep asking Addy what he will do.
Addy will never become president of this league even if the gods are with him.
i will be bak later to tell you why!!!!

neanderthal_walking said...

please tell us now good_will

Anonymous said...

Yes, please bless us with thou wisdom o great good_will!

Rup said...

Simon_D,
Looks like you can't wait for me to post somehing about mgt so you can jump out of your hole.
Are you part of management??. Looks like.
Remember I said I want to run for President. so this blog will me my marketing & advertising tool for now.
So, If you don't like what i say then go ????????. Figure out these ?? and you will see why i handle mgt this way.

Shekhs said...

d_c,

Jolly Rovers NoStars - Jolly Rovers

coz, I just got some news about my old team...No Stars....aint good.

Unknown said...

addy will never elected prez. bcos of his comments on blog...... plus addy is basicly unpopluar guy in our league.......... not a smooth diplomate like romen or jagi.....

tango, but u avoid my ques.
----
i ask u'r opinon does he enfofrces chukking rule or not....... what u think?????
----
(meaning tariq) same q u ask addy..... but what addy say not matter.... he will never be prez......

SimonDispatch said...

Tango nice one:)
"If you give crap, you get crap! "

The above is equally applicable to our bitching guru Rup. Why don't you, Rup, become the president of bitchers association and make yourself useful.

neanderthal_walking said...

time, did u just give away ur other nick? good_will?

Rup said...

Simon_D,
As usual you can't comprhend. It's never about reading but did you understand what you read?.
Behind your Nik you can call me a bitch but in my face you will praise me for shedding light on all the S**T that this current mgt is dumping on us.
I have the courage to do this but I see none of you willing to do it or are you just another P****Y too scared to open up??.
Again this is my tool for Ad.

Aditya said...

n_w, good catch! haha. i like your idea to the solution of chucking.

simon, i thought you were in nice guy mode. what happened?

shekhs, romeen, n_w, the whole cleared with Murali thread cracked me up.

Also, i like the Div 2 predictions. However, I'd caution you guys against betting against Peoria. A certain fellow blogger called Madhu is in cracking form and I wouldn't bet against him even though they are playing Arsenal, a team I like. Also, there's enough material on this blog to get ICC motiviated, and I'm not sure I'd bet against them, even though they are playing my old team of Madison.

TUSHAR said...

did you guys saw that dimpy xfered from royals to qc kings, i think he moved there, but the surprise was
faisal nafasat and arif khan bears to muslim, that makes muslim a dangerous team now.

neanderthal_walking said...

when did faisal and arif moved to muslim gym?

Aditya said...

Tushar, you're right. I feel Muslim was a dangerous team based on their performance last year, but I think this has made them even more dangerous. 15 6s in one game is phenomenal. Hope that doesn't happen to us this year... or ever!

Unknown said...

n_w, maybe or maybe i did not.......

Rup said...

Now Bears are dead..Can they win another game will be left to see.
QC kings just made life a little harder for Div 2 teams. Way to Go QC.
Can't wait to reach up with Dimpy when i visit Moline.
Dimpy check out some hot spots so when i come up there we can kick a few

TUSHAR said...

n_w its on the mcc website under list of xfered players.

Shekhs said...

Hey Swetal,
Are we kicking it tonite?
Tushar, Rup...wazzup?

SimonDispatch said...

Aditya, there are few exceptions :)

Rup said...

Not this week end guys.
We have a big family occasion tis week end so when i will not be used as a Taxi I will be entertaing guests and putting down a few.
Sorry but next time I am in.

neanderthal_walking said...

doe anyone else feel this year Div I is less competive than last year? with the fall of FLAMED, MUCC, BEARS and non competiveness of two new addtions have made it look like we have two tier competition.

Dr B said...

Good to see my friends from ICC. You guys are the best team around,and hope a few will learn what it is to be good,and still have the love and respect for ALL.

chally said...

Unknown said...

shekhs,

I thought we cancelled hooking up today cause Romeen could not make it and neither can Tushar if I recall.

Lets shoot for next week.

Shekhs said...

Sounds good Swetal...

neanderthal_walking said...
when did faisal and arif moved to muslim gym?
--------

Faisal and Arif left the Bears 2 weeks ago now - after the Bears vs Muslim game (where there was physical fight within the Bears, even though it didnt involve either Faisal or Arif).

Last week neither was with the Bears anyway - the Bears were badly short of people on Saturday as a result, and went to Milwaukee with 9 players IIRC. But the Bears had a full complement of 11 for Sunday, and beat the Chargers handily putting up 328 in 45 overs.

Overall, the move comes as not that much of a surprise IMHO - both Faisal and Arif are young enough and too good to just give up the game. They were going to play for *someone*. I had figured that Faisal was actually most likely to transfer to Muslim anyway. Arif.. I thought it might have been Muslim, or else maybe to the Royals (who have Vipul, Dimpy etc who Arif used to be teammates with, back in their Rising Stars days). But now Dimpy has gone to QC Kings (he's moved to Moline), and both Arif and Faisal moved as a package.

This makes Muslim very strong IMHO. They have always had quite excellent and deep batting, but their bowling has IMHO always lacked a little penetration. With Faisal and Arif arriving, that is no longer the case... and a full strength Muslim team could be a real contender this season - Imran,Kamran, Rizwan, Mahmood, Faisal,Arif, Shehzad, Fawad, Saad... thats 9 very good and youngish players right there... well, other than Shehzad. Then you add Arshad,Azhar, Farhat, Mo... thats suddenly a much stronger outfit that they were a couple of days ago.

Anonymous said...

Oh My God.....Dimpy moved to QC Kings...6-0 up and add another Division 1 player on top of it. Eagles good luck to you guys. I really hope you make a game out of it.

Pankaj (QC Kings) and Sridhar (Eagles) good luck to you in the next game. It's 6-0 v/s 0-5. Cricket is a funny game and miracles do happen, even though I don't expect this QC team to taste defeat just yet.

No Offense to ICC, but looks like you are little off the track right now. Best at this time is still QC Kings and Peoria. ICC is way down at number 10. It may have been the best in the past. I respect Rup and Colin from ICC and have seen them in action many times at WP.

I think your LOVE and RESPECT statements are baseless. If you really RESPECT people in this BLOG, why are you hiding your profile and blogging anonymous?

Cheers
Pranav

Dr B said...

Nothing anonymous about me. And no need to get angry at yourself,less others around you. Mention the word love only if you understand the true meaning,unless all you know about is a red ball and bat.

Nokhram Boodhoo,

I am not angry at you or anyone else in this blog. It was just that we get too carried away in these blogs. Nothing personal dude.

I guess you were the captain of QC Kings last year. Carry on with your awsome batting performace this season.

Thanks
Have a good weekend
Pranav

Dr B said...

Thanks. One love,man. Know you are close by to me so we can become better friends. Say hello to Madhu.

Anonymous said...

I am in Naperville and Madhu is in Peoria. I don't know Madhu personally but only through this blog. I have heard that he is a gem of a person.

Dr B said...

Excellent people. Enjoy weekend's game.
