New Season New Aspirations !!! Welcome to 2010 Our Team is starting off this 2010 season with all the players sounding more excited than ever. Guess the teams last run in the Fall 2009 tournament is still fresh in the minds where we almost made it all the way but lost to 3 overs and 1 man in the end. Bygones are bygones and the T20 format starts with a clean slate everytime you get on the field.

Living upto the name "Thunders", the team complimented the Rain and Storm which was part of the reduced pre-QF game played on the Centrville ground. We roarded, and we poured our hearts out in this convincing win, washing out the opponent and marching onto the QF's. It was a good toss to lose as our opponents helped us by opting to bat first in the wet conditions; which are more favourable to

It was a match within a match, with thunders already qualified for the knock-out stage the target was to win with a margin which would take us to the top of the team tally and automatically qualify us for a bye in pre-QF. Maybe calculations were wrong but we were supposed to score the target set by IMF in 15 overs......that we did only to finally know that 3 other teams did better and beat us to

Calls were being made till late in the night. Kalyan was trying to get 11 players for this match and was thinking of somehow patching a team together which was depleted from pullbacks by regular line players and hoard of injuries to others. Finally a team was gathered (literally) and with untested bowling line up hopes were rested on the Batting to click and put up a score that could be made a

And then it started....again !!! Thunders started the Fall tournament and with it the quest to prove itself as a better team than what it was before. If you go by the way match went...this was certainly not the way how we can assert our claim to be better for sure. Anand won the toss and as a golden rule for Fall conditions, chose to Bowl on the skidding Reston mat pitch. Bowlers made great use

Bracing for the Fall Season set to start for our team on 19th Sep !!!! Wishing all the members of the team Best of Luck and hoping that this time we get to prove ourselves as better than we normally end performing. We have been a QF team and need to pull ourselves up in the performance and spirit.Go THUNDERS !!!!!!

Farewell party to the 4 Musketeers at Bombay Cafe , VALife is living in constant change !!!This aspect of life is being higlighted in the recent past with lot happening for the team and its members.

Another practice match was played on 15th Aug at Reston Cricket Ground with one of the good teams from the League and Thunders had to play a depleted team from their regular lineup....or should I say a new look team wiht some new blood being tested for the roster.Anand as usual lost the toss but not the match with Thunders put in to bat. Batting top order did not click this time around with

Back to practice ....Saw an innings from Parisheel which everyone waited for through the tournament, but came a wee bit late. It was an innings which had it all - grace , skill and aggression !!!Thunders won the toss and elected to put up a score on the charts for VAS to chase. It could not have started better with Pari and Amit holding the innings to maybe the first 50+ runs opening stand this

Down but not out yet !!Yes, this was the end of the road for this Spring League for Thunders with a loss in the hands of Patriots, who beat us for the second time in as many meetings in this tournament. Clearly it was not the ending any of us were hoping for, but that's how it is for now, and Patriots showed us why keeping a head on shoulders is important along with the skills of the game.No

What could have been a cakewalk turned out to be a Roller-Coaster of a ride till the end of the match. Bringing to the fore that nothing comes easy in the Later stages. This match saw Thunders see-sawing from highs to low, and then Highs again to finally Cross the finishline in the end. Seeing a damp mat Anand won the toss and rightfully elected to field; to make use of the skid in the mat that

This was a practice match played with the leading team in the league to get the required match practice for our team. It turned out that this match also highlighted some chinks in our Armour which will be useful if all the members of the team apply themselves accordingly and learn from there.Like they say, "Mental toughness wins half the Game", turns out to be true now at the onset of the

This was the final League game for us and though the result would not have affected our qualification to the Knock-Out Stage (Pre-Quater Fnls) , it mattered to us that we stay on the top of the league like we had for the stretch of the tournament.Situations swung from one to the other in this tightly contested match which ended in a loss for our team but brought out some goods in the team which

Another step to supremecy in this season of cricket for Thunders. The thunders team won another match with convincing performances in all departments of the game namely Batting ,Bowling and most importantly fielding, which is helping this team to look like a professional unit.Anand won the toss and elected to Bat on this nice ground which had history of high scoring games. Narendra was given a

Going from Strength to Strength, Thunders went to the top of the League Table in WMCL 2009 with another comprehensive victory over the Mighty Indians. Things were little different from earlier matches since this time with Anand losing the toss, we were put to in to Bat by Mightly Indians and the task was now to put up a target, than chasing one.Things started fine with Aditya and Prabhu giving a
