[Overpitched, flicked through the on side. That's a boundary for Ji Yeong.]
"Compared to the other guy, he's pretty bad isn't he?"
"Mm... Well, I can't really complain. This guy, the captain is playing quite well. He's the reason why Ji Yeong isn't getting criticized for playing so slowly."
"I mean, based on the scores it's pretty evident that 97/90 is way, way better than 40/70... How did he even get picked."
"Also, he's playing entirely on luck. The fact that none of the swinging pitches have picked his bat is astonishing."
Added bomi.
"Nonetheless less, it's getting easier to play now. So, he's picking up pace."
While boss tried to be positive.
"At this point he should just get out and let the next batsman come in. He's being a pain to my dashing Captain."
"Your dashing? Bitch, the moment I laid eyes on him he was mine. So buzz off."
"What did you say? We've already been married in my eyes the moment I saw him. So get lost "
"This bitch..."
"Young ones these days. Falling for everyone they see on tv. How foolish."
...
The pitch's definately too paced. It's bounce too is very uneven.
This wasn't the case for first innings.
What do I do to pick the length when both the pace and the bounce is uneven.
This guys having it easier than me. Or is he making it seems easy?
Nope, most of the balls he faced is on the other end. Most of the balls faced by me are on this end.
So, that side is probably flatter than this one.
But, he isn't letting me to take singles that bowler.
But, in the only one that can score at a rate that can win us the game.
But for that I can't bat on this end.
Right now the score is 164 off 38.4, that means we need to get more 80 runs off 68 balls.
That's a pretty shitty required run rate right there.
There were only 2 options at this point. Either tonk the shit out of every ball until I get out... Or wait until th pitch becomes better to bat on.
Which honestly isn't much time.
For now let's just wait until the 42nd over.
So for now I'll just take a single.
If I can.
Ooh, finally hit something off the middle.
"Nooo... Stay there "
This... Bitch...
...
"Aah, now that's embarrassing."
"Who can blame him..."
"I cringed up so hard."
"Now I feel kinda sad for him."
"Same."
...
Aah... I've always hated handsome men.
Which I believe is totally understandable since I'm an ugly unpopular, zombie faced human being.
Who's always been humiliated by handsome dudes, it was either them being involved themselves or their their mobile humiliating me.
I was just trying to take a single and get to the other end and wait until the 42nd over but...
FUCK THIS SHIT.
*SALMM!!*
...
[What a shot, he dances down the track and slams the ball right over the top of long On.
The timing, the power, was so impeccable that it's out of the stadium. Well need a new ball now. Which doesn't sound like a good deal for the C team.]
"It seemed like a shot hit out of frustration."
*It did. Even the biggest stars would be humiliated if that happened to them."
"That... Was, probably the best shot that I probably ever I saw, while watching his matches."
"Yaa, same here. The sound was so pleasing to the ears. Like the best music that I've ever heard."
"You guys... What's going on, you are acting so dramatic..."
"Ahm... It's nothing, let's continue watching."
"Ahm.. yes, let's... Continue."
...
The only way to counter the The uneven pace & extra bounce of the pitch was to make contact at the spot where the ball pitched.
Which would automatically become a hit me ball.
But, I've never timed the footwork,or the bat swing so perfectly before.
With the power that I used out of frustration our team was on a setback currently.
"I'm sorry man, I... It was getting hard to score on that side, we needed to get that score that's why..."
"It's fine... Forget it. I'm kinda being a liability anyway, so it's understandable what you were trying to do."
"I appreciate it."
...
This bitch, didn't allow me to bat for a whole 8 overs.
He barely managed to score 40 of the remaining runs.
Which is probably great but... That leaves 34 in just 3 overs.
I was given about 4 balls which I couldn't really hit properly and got 2 runs off it.
I wasn't allowed to take singles and was when necessary.
And most of the time I wasn't given the strike at all.
I was currently 48/75.
And, if this goes on, I'll be kicked out of the team for being incompetent.
Fu*k
...
"He's kinda done for now. He'll probably not get to play at all for that pathetic Play."
"It's called innings and, it's not over yet, Let's just wait and see, he can score 30 runs in 12 balls. That guy, so don't underestimate him."
[Overpitched and that's been slammed through long off. An excellent inside out shot for a six. That's his 50]
"Ooh, look he's hit a six."
"It's just 1, he needs a lot more of those to win. And, if they lose. Than he's done for."
"Again why do you want him to fail so much?"
"Hey... Didn't he just go past 50? Don't people usually raise their bats in acknowledgement. And the people clap for his play? Nothing of the kind is happening."
"It's honesty a pathetic 50. If that's what happens, I'm sure nobody considers it a good one that's why they aren't clapping."
Everyone was concentrating at the game as it was nearing the end.
...
Now that felt good. Finally got the Strike after a fkin long time.
I'll show you captain. I'll fkin show that bitchy ass of yours, what I'm made of.
...
[That's slammed straight... And just over the boundary rope for six. He tried a Yorker but the batsman was ready and flat bat's it straight back past the bowler.]
"Wow that's 2 in a row."
"Now he'll ball a ball at head height, forgot what it's called and he'll hit it for a Six again."
"No way, even that handsome man hasn't hit 3 sixes and you think he'll hit 3 in a row. You are overestimating him."
"Well see."
Said the boss with confidence.
[What a shot, a bouncer at shoulder height well directed but he was ready for it and pulls it over long leg. That's power and timing on that. He's had a slow innings but now he's picked up Right when the team needs it.]
"Told you, I've seen him do it so many times, if makes me wonder if he can read minds. Whenever he hits 2 sixes in a row, the bowler balls a bouncer and he takes advantage of that and hits sixes. He's never failed at hitting 3 in a row. If he hit's a 2nd you can count on him to hit a 3rd."
"That's really something."
*Ring ring*
"Customer at this hour? Bomi go and check who it is, might be some debt collectors."
"Yaa."
...
I hit him for 3 sixes. 1 over long off, 1 straight over the bowler's head and than a pull shot over long leg.
Now he'll either bowl a short ball or a Yorker.
I have to take the chance, it's definately either one of these.
And if I succeed in pre determining I'll definately get a 4 or a six.
It's a matter of if it's either back past the bowler or over long leg.
Now, let's just stay in the crease until he comes out.
I'll chose going deep inside my crease to hit the short ball rather than going outside the pitch waiting for the Yorker.
And so, as determined before the bowler bowled it, and I pushed myself back just in the nick of time.
And luckily he bowled a bouncer and it was of shoulder height.
And going behind the crease and close to the stumps helped.
And I hooked it past Long leg again, the timing not so good.
...
[SIX MORREEEEE!!]
"Woah, what happened?"
"4th six? This man's insane..."
"Take that captain, right on yoo dumb ass faceeee."
"Yaa... How dare you make fun of our colligue, that's what you get. Don't you go about underestimating our flower shop loner."
"Weren't... You both Just singing praises of that handsome captain."
"As much as I wanted to beat his face for making fun of Ji Yeong, I couldn't retaliate because of how he was playing."
Retorted the red haired Women.
"While he may be handsome, he doesn't get to Make fun of my junior. Hmph."
Pouted Bomi.
"You both.. should try being more honest instead of just insulting him to cover up your care for your precious junior. Kids these days."
[OOH MY FRECKIN LORD OF KOREA!!! he's hit the 5th straight six. Nobody has a clue as to what's going on here. the Korean cricket association would be dancing in joy looking at this young lad. NUMBER FIVE INTO THE STANDS!]
"Wow, they are getting a bit rowdy."
"Is it that great to be hitting 5 sixes in 5 balls?"
"Well, you could say it's like hitting 2 back to back home runs. If you understand what I mean."
"He's hit 5 no so why just 2?"
"Well, the baseball bat is a bit harder to hit homeruns with so I'll give them the edge."
"Hahaha... Wait, by those terms... This is a real deal isn't it?"
...
It's not a big deal, It's like the prime Indian team beating some no name Associate team with 0 wins.
These 5 sixes were just an amount to the bowler's inexperience. He should have just continued on with yorkers.
He bowled good yorkers soz it's not easy to hit them away but his inexperience and ego caused him to bowl 2 back to back Bouncers which honestly weren't great considering neither the pace was good nor the line.
They were both hit me balls created because of the pressure I put after hitting the 2nd nall's perfect Yorker straight past his head for six.
Any international bowler would have taken my wicket 3 out of the 5 balls I hit for six because the timing wasn't great for 2 of them and that Yorker if bowled by an international player would have clean bowled me just due to the pace.
So, it's nothing special to hit 5 sixes on a flat pitch against bowlers like these.
Especially when they were surviving only because of the purchase in the Pitch which was evidently non existent at this end.
Because there were no hollow, wet parts on the pitch either were there any cracks on it.
Which was present on the other end.
...
[Can be do it? 6 Sixes in an over... Can be do it....]
"Nahh, that's impossible. Hitting six in an over is an over exaggeration. No boss?"
Asked bomi
"It's just 1 more 6 to go.... Hell obviously hit it, no boss."
it was The red hair that answered and not The boss.
The boss just kept quiet watching the match.
She wanted to witness something great, she didn't get it but she felt like something great was about to happen.
She didn't know that this was the beginning of the dawn of a new era.
An era where korea was going to dominate cricket.
And, he would be at the centre of it.
*SLAM*
[That's number 6... He's done it, he's hit 6 Sixes in an over. He's done the unthinkable. He's done something only a handful amount of people were able to do in a lifetime. He's hit 6 Sixes in an over.]
"Aah... He finally raises his bat."
None of them understood the feeling but for the first time, all of them saw a man in Ji Yeong.
A handsome one at that.
For the first time they saw him smile, and they felt something inside them stir as they saw that handsome yet beautiful smile.
For the first time the women realised...
"Aah, with his hair up... He's actually pretty handsome."
As the red head said that... She doubted her own eyes, she shut her mouth with both her hands as she blurted out what was in her mind.
"Yaa... You are right."
Bomi replied.
"Aah, youth."
Boss remarked.
