The continuing saga of BossDK and BiggBosST : 2

It's yet another BossDK and BiggBosST partnership.

The top order has collapsed but BiggBosST is single-handedly keeping hopes alive with a brilliant innings. BossDK on the other hand has been struggling. He is on 11 off 70-odd (and painstaking) deliveries and is clearly out of sorts. The shots elude him even while the asking rate's mounting. However , he has provided steady support by preserving his wicket. It's now down to ST to try and take their team to an improbable victory.

We come in at the point where that victory looks more improbable than ever.

33 runs are required to win off the last 2.2 overs. ST is on 91 , DK on 11.

47.5 : ST takes a quick single. Good , sensible cricket.

32 now required off 13 balls. All that fans hope for now is an ST century. If ST's genius produces a miracle , that'd only be a bonus .

47.6 : Nonsense cricket ! DK jabs at the ball and immediately dashes across the pitch, compelling ST to complete that risky and undesirable run.

So that's 31 needed from 12. ST is on 92 , DK on 12 and on strike. The best bowler XX (match figures 7-1-17-5 ) brought on to bowl now. DK has to ensure that ST gets strike immediately. ST signals to DK , pointing out gaps for a quick single. DK nods vigorously.

Their understanding is legendary.

And then this is how the 49th over unfolds.

48. 1 : XX to DK. SIX !

48. 2 : XX to DK. SIX !

48. 3 : XX to DK. SIX !
48. 4 : XX to DK. SIX !

48. 5 : XX to DK. SIX !

48. 6 : XX to DK. SIX !

DK has scored the most shocking 48* in cricket history. And their team have won with an over to spare !!!

Man of the Match BiggBosST finishes with an unbeaten 92*

The continuing saga of BossDK and BiggBosST : 1

This is the first in a series of stories centered around the famous cricketing duo of BossDK and BiggBosST whose partnerships are the stuff of legend and folklore.


BiggBosST (ST) is on 99. BossDK (DK) is at the non-striker end. ST signals to DK to be prepared for a quick single off the next ball. DK nods in agreement. Their understanding is legendary.

ST takes guard. Faces up. Bowler runs in. Bowls.

Ball moves sharply back at ST and raps him on the pads. Hmm , looks close.

Loud appeal from fielding side. But it's turned down.

And then suddenly there is mega large scale commotion. A most peculiar incident has unfolded.

The non-striker - DK , yes ! - has refered the decision.

TV umpire upholds the appeal. ST has to walk back to the pavilion.

A despondent DK buries his head deep in his hands. Or, going by his keeping earlier that day, its probably his hands he has buried deep in his head.
