Sambaran ," Keep quite . It's our last chance we have to prove ourself. "

Radio ," It will be played 6th of this month. "

Sourav ," So we have only one day . And it's today. "

Ashok ," Don't waste it ."

After so much training in nets . I am tired . I just sit on the sofa in my room . I am feeling drowsy .

6th January, 7:00 AM

"Ah I just had fallen asleep on the sofa last night ."

The match is going to start at 10:00 AM .
Wow it's a sunny day . It looks like the day is with the batsmen .

After taking my breakfast ,I am in Eden Gardens pavilion with my team . It's 9:30 AM .

Sambaran ," So we have only 70 overs . I know it's hard but We have to do it . Pankaj and Indu will open the innings as well . The next batsman will be decided as per the runs on the board . Arun , Ashok and Sourav please wear your pads too ."

Ashok ," OK Skipper ! "

Match starts ,
                        First bowl to Pankaj Roy by Atul Wasaan . On the middle stump and rightly defenced by Pankaj.

3.3 over, Manoj to Indu . Great pull shot and it's a four !

6.5 over , Wasaan to Arun , the bowl goes high . Manoj is there --ooo-- Manoj drops it. Wasaan smiles a little but he was hurt a lot.

6.6 over , Wasaan to Ganguly, not this time.  You can't!  You can't give this young guy full toss . Great four through the covers again .

7.5 over , Manoj to Ganguly,  yes it's a biggie ! biggie !  biggie ! . Oh it just dropped some inches before the boundary. Great four by steeping out .

7.6 over , Manoj to Ganguly , edged and caught ! The keeper Chaturbedi got it . You can't afford such wickets . Bengal 57- 3 . A good partnership ends here . Ganguly goes for 22 .
