About Me

I am Balaji G, 26 years old, Software Engineer (Siemens), a die hard Cricket fanatic. I have been following Cricket for the past 20 years. I am the captain of the Siemens Cricket Team I have represented the University Cricket team as well. I regularly play cricket during the weekends for the Siemens team and Crescents Club. I have a vast knowledge about the game which I would love to share.

I am the most fanatic RCB fan because...

I supported the team even when we were down and out in 2008. I cheered them during IPL 2009 as well. My Heart Beats only for two Teams: Team India and Team RCB. I am a person with an extreme enthusiasm and Zeal to support the Royal Challengers Bangalore. I want to be with the team and experience varying emotions as it happens. I have been with the team during the Highs and lows. Its time to Cheer them to victory. Only the Champions will be remembered forever. I want to be with the team through Thick and THIN.

Strategy Map for RCB - Airtel Champions League

My preferred line up :

My team: Jacques Kallis Manish Pandey Robin Uthappa Rahul Dravid Ross Taylor Roelof van der Merwe Virat Kohli Mark Boucher (W) Praveen Kumar Vinay Kumar Anil Kumble (C) 12th Man:Balaji G

why do I prefer this line up :

This team is good enough to go one better this time around.

My opening match strategy:

If we win the toss. We should bat first post a score of 160. Our bowling is stronger. We will restrict them. If we bowl first. we should restrict the opposition between 140-150 Max.

My best T20 match:

Venue:

Centurion, RSA

Date:

May 12th 2009

KKR vs RCB, Ross Taylor smashed 81 from 33 deliveries. We cruised to an six-wicket win against Kolkata Knight Riders in the end. KKR set us a target of 173. It was a stiff target. We pulled it off in the end. We snatched victory from the jaws of defeat .
