Not good total at all, the bowling and fielding will have to be top notch for you to try and get a result out of this. Good luck with the bowling side of things, Funknath.
Good scorecard there Funky but try and make it all straight in lines like in Gamerkid's tutorial. Still good presentation, mate, keep it up.

A.Maity bowled the 5th Over . He was smashed for a four in the third bowl of the over:-
4.3 A.Maity to V.A.J'eesh, FOUR, Brilliant cover drive by V.A.Jagadeesh
Captain Chakraborty changed the bowling as he brought in R.Majumdar in the place of H.Maity. And this bowling change did the trick. R.Majumdar took the first wicket for Bengal in the second ball of the 6th Over:-
5.2 R.Majumdar to S.Che'thur, OUT, Bowled him! Great delivery by R.Majumdar. S.Cheruvathur didnt have a clue

R.Parameshwaran 7(6b 1X6)
The spinner S.Basu was brought in. He bowled his first over very economicaly as he only gave 1 run in the last ball.
I was standing at slip and I was having a nice chat with Bengal's wicketkeeper K.Roy. When I was about to ask him when he debuted I saw our Captain being carried to the pavillion on a strecher.
I quickly ran towards Sunondo and asked him, " What happened to Subhomoy?"
Sunondo replied, " Subhomoy has got himself injured. His replacement fielder will be Neil and till Chakraborty heals from his injury I will lead this team."
I saw Neil coming towards the field. I caught him and said, "Nice to see you here. Its sad that Subhomoy got himself injured. "
Neil without replying went away.Sunondo setted the field. I was put at second slip and Neil was put at 3rd slip.
R.Majumdar continued the 10th over and he was smashed for two fours.
9.1 R.Majumdar to R.Par'aran, FOUR, Who needs Bradman when weve got R.Parameshwaran

nice update mate

42 run deficit now and Kerela could lose their chance of a victory as they are losing many wickets where they should capitalize. Good presentation Funknath, getting better every update. Keep it up.
