Titans Vs Sarasota - Day 2

Warren - 8
Bowled beautifully for no wickets. Had a good caught behind appeal turned down. Went for less than 4 an over. Throws from the boundary were excellent as usual. Finished the game off with a quick 20-odd including some big hits.

Paul - 4
Bowling well downhill after a decent first over. Went for over 6 an over when the opposition scored around 4 an over. Picked up one wicket. Was a little slow in the field at times. His feild placements were excellent and forced the opposition to adopt a gameplan that suited us.

Gowtham - 8
8 overs, 22 runs, 1 wicket(Gosai, their best bat) and 2 maidens. Gowtham had a great day bowling. Bowled a consistent and nagging line and length and generated some outward movement that consistently troubled the batsmen. Got a wicket in his first over.

Atif - 7.5
Bowler of the match with 3 for 22. Get the crucial wickets of Ryan(game's top scorrer), Om and Jerry, three of their better batsmen. Was able to use a relatively newer ball and the wind direction opposite to his preference very well. Looses a point and a half for dropping three catches. He did take a sharp chance at slip.

Danny - 8
Bowled very well to pick up 3/27 in his 7.2 overs. Should have had 4 wickets, but a caught behind appeal was turned down. Bowled within himself and used the conditions very well. Danny has turned out to be quite a find for the team. Fielding was much better that Day 1.

Rishi - 5
Started off well with Chucky and made sure there was a good platform to launch from. Lost his wicket playing across the line to a spinner and getting jucged LBW. Was a little slow in the feild, but is a good pair of eyes to have around to see the flaws in the field settings.

Chucky - 8
Continued his good run of form with another 50. It wasnt chanceless, but included some stylish strokes. Dropped a couple of half chances that many on the team would not even have gotten to. Overall a good performance from our premier batsman.

Prateek - 7
Keeping was good, had a quick stumping and a caught behind. Kept the batsmen in check by covering the "drop and run" quick singles. Batting was ok. 20-odd runs were well constructed, but should have finished the job with Chucky. Got out to a soft dismissal playing a ball straight to a fielder.

Dave - 6
Dropped a catch in the outfield, but made up for it by running out a batsman with his quick thinking.

Umair - 4
Slower in the feild than the dy before, could have had a catch or a run out on the same delivery, but got neither.

Akhil - 4
A couple of good stops, followed by a dropped high catch.

Krishna - 7
Came in to field for Atif and had an impact in the short period he was in for by getting a runout via quick thinking and a good throw. One of the best fielders in the squad.
