Cricket Tournament in Finland

I am a part of a very few cricket playing fans out here in Helsinki and we have been playing cricket since 2002 starting with 4 players and now grown to a big number and have been successful to organize Annual Tournaments. This year's tournament was played last week and we had 4 teams fighting for the top spot. We had a Rebel team cause it was built by using the mobile phone ie calling people from their slumber to be part of the team :-) It worked out well so that we could have 2 semifinals and a final..The light stays good till 11 PM here to carry on playing so that was never an issue :-) Our team N95 were the underdogs ..starting with an over giving away 20+ runs but manage to pull back with some good batting and bulldozed ourselves into the finals where again as the least favorite were put to bat and came up with some good hard hitting and fight able score but the main highlight was the support our team got from the stand with some Bangra and dhols and a lot of 6 man Mexican waves :-) we got the opposition under pressure and they buckled with some excellent catching and bowling performance we were in good shape to get to the last over when the opposition needed 19 runs to get which was a tough ask with me bowling ;-) And then the moment of victory...captured here(click to open)) are few of the good times we had. The game was played in a good spirit(san achohol I mean)..Cheers !!
