A tribute to one of our best


This week saw the departure of Tapish - off to Stanford to do bigger, better things.. enroute to becoming the financial engg whizz that he wants to be..


From the day he first turned up in the nets, we knew we had caught a big one - whether it was his perfect line-length new ball bowling, to his super fluent batting, he was at the forefront of what happened with P&G cricket - a true pillar of our short history as a serious serious team


His half centuries have gotten us out of many a hole and coming in at no. 3 (especially after our often brittle opening partnership) he has played the dual role of walling up one end and at the same time keeping the score board ticking as he moved effortlessly along.. as paddu said, the hallmark of his batting is that he always seems to have a lot of time ..


The man on bowling fire is another treat to watch - swinging the ball both ways - miserly as ever and equally adept with the new ball as the ol cherry ..


Well, here is to one of our best players - we will miss u Tapish, and best of luck in your life ahead - hoping to see u around in Singapore soon and keep in touch!
