GCC experienced a wonderful day of cricket at NCSU (North Carolina State University)

NCSU was able to carve out a very close win against GCC.  NCSU scored 138 in 29.1 overs and GCC was all out for 135 in 29.2 overs.

It was a very close game with lots of excitement.

NCSU were excellent host and perfect gentlemen. They showed great sportsmanship. The game was played in a very friendly atmosphere. The weather was Hot and Humid but the game atmosphere was very friendly and full of sportsmanship.  For a change, It was so refreshing and placed our faith back in the cricket.

NCSU batted first and two of their batsman walked out when they were caught behind without even waiting for umpire. Both of them walked out without any hesitation. They even did not look at the Umpire. There were couple of LBWs also, but NO Argument. One of our batsman was also caught behind and he walked off the field.

Even in tense closing moments, there were no bad remarks or bad feelings. They won fair and square.  I think, in my three years of League matches, they are the friendliest and perfect gentlemen team.  Keep up the good work.

They were perfect host. They had plenty of Ice, chilled Gatorade and water. To our utter surprise, they had ordered pizza for the lunch.

I should not forget   Dave Kumar also. He was very nice and thorough Umpire. He was also very friendly and down to earth. He talked to us all the time, and gave excellent pointers after the game.  Thank you Dave for Umpiring on a such a hot and Humid day.

Thanks NCSU.. Thanks Anirudh, Nihar and the bunch.  We had a great time.

We look forward to you all coming to Gastonia.

Thanks,
