Amazing Facts & Incidents of TATASCH
Cricket Tournament –2001
( -by Basavaraj.

- What
is the number of overs, if 12
balls are bowled?
If you answer “TWO” , you better contact Uma for the
right answer !!! According to our official scorers Sita & Kannan
it is “ONE” over….
In the first over of finals, Uma bowled 12 balls continuously to complete
ONE over, as there were SIX extras in that over !!!!
- ‘Every
rule has an exception’ is proved once again by Jubilant Indians in
the finals when they disproved the most popular equation of this tournament …
”Jubilant Indians – Subratho = Zero”
May be to help his team to prove the above, Subratho was out for
duck in the finals.
- Anil
just missed a Hatrick !!!!!
“So…bad !!!!” if you
say like this, you are totally wrong!!!…. b’cuz, the reaction of his teammates for the
above was “Thanks God!!!!” …
The reason being, Anil was declared ‘run-out’ in the two successive
earlier matches and missed his
hatrick in getting out as a result of
‘RUNOUT’ in the third match
!!!!!
- Have
you ever heard of TWO different
set of umpires, one for each innings???
It happened in a batch between
Ball Breakers and Jubilant Indians…
- Celebrate
your success within your boundary ( limits)!!!!
The umpire Sam taught this lesson to Shekhar, by declaring the batsman
‘Not Out’, as Shekar went out of the boundary line to celebrate, after taking a spectacular
catch !!!!!
- What
can just one SINGLE OVER do???
It can decide who is going to lift the Cricket Trophy.
One magical over from Karthik
shattered the dreams of
‘India Seniors’, which saw the dismissal of 3 star batsmen, Raghu, Anil
& Srinath.
- Right-handers
always need NOT bring ‘RIGHT’
things to the team!!
The find of this year’s TATASCH tournaments is ‘LEFT-hander Srinath’, who has
been nicknamed as ‘Ball-Destroyer’ and ‘Sixer Srinath’
- Can
you even think of playing in Semi-finals if your team is already is out of
the tournament in the preliminary rounds itself?
Ask Azad for this achievement !!! He was a proud member of
‘Ball-Breakers’ from the beginning but missed both the league matches as
he had to make unavoidable trips to NJ. But shifted to Bulandi (the very
team which beat his parent team Ball-Breakers) and played in the
Semi-finals !!!!
- U
have heard of importing Balls, Bats, stumps etc??? But have you heard of
importing the captain for the cricket team?
Yep… “Ball-Breakers’ have imported their Captain Chandru from
India, who also bought a dozen of hard Tennis balls, along with him !!!!
Thanks to Chandru for his Balls!!!!!
- The
singles, doubles & triples taken by Subratho can NOT be considered as
RUNS…
Why???? B’cuz this Penguin Subratho walks b/w the wickets instead of
RUNNING…Hence they should be called ‘WALKS’ and not definitely RUNS
- How
do the ultimate winners ‘Jubilant Indians’, celebrate their victory???…
By watching ‘Lagaan’ !!!!! Only to find many similarities in that movies
like, the team which batted second won the game, it rained immediately
after the end of the match etc…
