It was a pleasant Sunday, when the weather was just fine for a game of 40 over cricket. My team SPC XI won the toss and chose to field first. I was the opening bowler and got to bowl 5 overs. The followings were my last two overs, which were quite dramatic.
Leman (SMS Taiping, Perak) is a stylish batsman who normally scored heavily, when he's at the crease while wearing the baggy green. However, this time around he's just making a comeback after spending much time in Korea.
I was in the second spell of my bowling. In the first spell, I bowled for 3 overs with no wickets.

13.1 Bad to Leman, no run, blocked
13.2 Bad to Leman, no run, in-swinging yorker, blocked
13.3 Bad to Leman, 1 run, outside off full, tapped and run
13.4 Bad to Malik, 1 run, ball too straight, glanced to leg side
13.5 Bad to Leman, OUT, the ball bounced higher, kissed the top of the bail
[Leman] bowled [Bad] 1 run
Maybe again, he had too much of kimchi and K-Pop.
13.6 Bad to Mahno, no run, blocked
The score was 67 run for 5 wickets. After that, there were periods where there was a run fest, as the bowlers used were giving too many wide balls and easy pickings to the batsmans. The captain SPC said that this was merely tactical.
Saufi (Sekolah Agama Wilayah, Labu) the batsman from Abul XI has just raised his bat for a well deserved half century and the total score now is 198 runs. He will be facing my first ball in the 32nd over. I used to play once in Saufi's team Sydney Outsyders in the Last Man Standing League in Sydney, of which I took my first wicket in Australia. Saufi is an all-rounder, whom can bat deep and bowl fast.

32.1 Bad to Saufi, OUT, an extravagant drive, in-swinging ball finds inside edge of the bat and hit the stumps
[Saufi] bowled [Bad] 58 runs
MKY will be the new batsman. He was from Mozac (SMS Muzaffar Shah, Melaka). My team-mate Milok (SMS Sultan Mahmud, Terengganu) jokingly said to me "Dari pengalamang aku, si MKY ni buleh tahan tiga bola je." Is it? Time to find out.
32.2 Bad to MKY, no run, full and straight, blocked
32.3 Bad to MKY, OUT, the ball coming too fast and hit the off stump
So the prediction was true, he lasted only 2 balls.

The last batsman in. He has to face 3 remaining balls from my over. Can he survive?
32.4 Bad to Era, no run, in-swinging yorker, blocked
32.5 Bad to Era, no run, full and angled in to the middle, blocked
32.6 Bad to Era, no run, full and straight, blocked
A two-wicket maiden over, what a wonderful piece of bowling from yours truly, the otai STAROBA Tigers bowler.
Abul XI scored 198 runs and were all out by the 33rd over. SPC XI won the match after easily overtaking the score in the 26th over.
