Titans At Sarasota

Chucky - 7.5
Chucky was very impressive during the tour top scoring with a half century in the first match and showing excellent agility and prowess with his fielding on both days. He got out playing a half-shot to a ball that seemed like it stopped on him on the second day and lobbed it up giving up his wicket when the team needed his aggression and form the most. He also lent a useful hand behind the stumps and had a stumping to his name on the second day.

Dalip - 3
Dalip showed promise during his short stint at the crease with a couple of sixes and a four and seemed like he was at his aggressive best with some very good shots. However, his fielding was disappointing with two dropped catches resulting in a very average game for him.

Prateek - 5
Prateek got out early in the first game playing a ball a little too early and edging it to the slip fielder. He was top notch behind the stumps with some good takes and stops. A knee injury during the second game cut short his wicket-keeping but he showed great commitment by fielding and also made a few useful runs down the order.

Wazza - 8
Wazza is proving to be the top all rounder in the team with his sharp bowling and gritty batting . In the first match he bowled a tight spell but wasn't rewarded with any wickets. However, he came back strong with his batting and scored a more than useful 30 odd runs. With 3 wickets and a score in the 40s in the second game, ended what proved to be an excellent outing for him.

Tanmay - 9
Tanmay captained the first game and showed a lot of promise when he was at the helm. Despite his weakened condition, he was the best among bowlers in the first game and was one of the top scorers batting down the order. Tanmay is just a whisker behind Wazza for the position of top all rounder in the team. He took four wickets and made 20 runs batting in the first game and bowled a very tight spell with a half century in the second.

Alan - 5.5
Alan had a shaky start to the tour giving away a few more extras than usual but he steadied himself and had a good spell in the first game given that there were two well set batsmen at the crease. He also did a decent job with the bat with 17 runs against his name. On the second day however his bowling was below average giving away 26 runs in his 4 overs and scoring just 1 run with the bat.

Atif - 6.5
For Atif, the Sarasota tour was a mixed bag. He was hit for a few runs on both days in his bowling but had a wicket to his name in each game. His batting was average on the first scoring 9 runs but he came back strong making an excellent 40 studded with 5 sixes. His fielding however was below average at best and needs quite a bit of improvement.

Umair - 2
Umair had a poor run at Sarasota. He certainly has the potential to become a good bowler and a decent batman but failed to show that in Sarasota. He went for over 10 an over in his 5 overs on the first day and did not get a chance to bowl in the second and made relatively low scores with a bat.

Jacob - 6
Jacob has probably shown the most improvement in his game than any of the other developmental players. There is a huge improvement in his batting and fielding from when he started playing for the Titans. He was available for one game at Sarasota and scored a very decent 13 with the bat before he was run out. He dropped a tough chance at first slip but was good otherwise in the field.

Paul - 5
Paul was part of the first XI in the second game and was the 12th man in the first but got a chance to bat in both. In the first game, he looked good with the bat but got out trying to increase the run rate. His bowling in the second game was good except for one over where he went for a few but was out on a low score batting. His fielding was very good and his brilliant diving catch to dismiss a set batsman was one of the highlights of the second day.

Bala - 6
Given his shoulder injury Bala was in primarily as a batsman for the tour. He played a very good knock in his first game making 30 odd runs and certainly looked like he could have made a fifty if he had gotten support from the other end. He did not have a good second day however and made just 5.

Akhil - 6
Akhil has shown that he is the most promising player among the youth and has immense potential to become a very good leg spinner. He bowled one over in the first game and was hit for a few runs but came back strong in his second, bowling 4 overs and taking a wicket as well.

Gowtham - 4
Gowtham is another good prospect among the developmental players in the squad. He has shown good potential with his medium pace bowling but still needs to improve in the batting and more importantly in the fielding department. He bowled a few overs in both games and took a wicket in his second. His batting was below average in both games and needs to work on it.
