Cricket match @ Pondicherry

Up coming beach resort, Pondicherry:-

MCRT 82 and PRRT 104 organized a joint Fellowship event to help the Tables prepare for the Area 2 Inter Table Cricket match.

The cricket pitch was barely 500 meters from the sea and making it extremely scenic and the weather gods were smiling on that day.

9 Tablers from MCRT 82 drove down to Pondicherry on the Sunday morning and were joined in by 12 tablers of PRRT 104 and 9 Tablers of PRT 70.

The Pitch was examined very closely, wind direction was being studied and the ground slope determined by all teams to work out the strategies.

Match rules, Team selection, batting order and bowling orders were clear only after the first Bacardi and Beer was downed by the Tablers.

Three matches were played
MCRT 82 vs PRRT 104
MCRT 82 vs PRT 70
Chennai vs Pondy

MCRT 82 out classed the other two teams with MCRT 82 Captain Shiva working out new strategies as the match progressed. Some resistance from PRRT 104 was met but AST Tr.Praveen and ‘Captain’ Rajan played an excellent innings to beat PRRT 104. During and after every match Tablers were rejuvenated with bottles of ‘Breezers’ and ‘Beer’. After the grueling and well fought three matches a joint meet of PRRT 104 and MCRT 82 was held. After a small agenda, the prizes were distributed to:

Awards
Best Batsman	‘Captain’ Rajan
Best Bowler	Sq.Lg.Nehru

AST, Tr.Praveen on behalf of MCRT 82 presented momentos to the Pondy Chairmen and Sq Legs. He also presented a momento to Tr.Julian PRRT 104 Fellowship Convenor who had coordinated and arranged the event. A good lunch after the meeting and many more drinks, Tablers started their journey back home, satisfied with a good practice match and looking forward to the Area 2 Inter table Cricket Match.
