Final - Conclusion
"How is this possible? Weren't they 2 down before we left? And now They are suddenly 205/2. Can't things just end normally? Why do all these twists and turns have to happen."
"Hey look."
Amber pointed towards someone and it was none other than Ron.
He had a gloomy expression. It was understandable tho, they couldn't get a single wicket.
And if things continued this way, There was no way they could win.
Seeing Ron look so gloomy made the 3 of their hearts ache.
They didn't know what to do, they couldn't comfort him nor help him in any way.
it was his game to play afterall. They had sent a letter to Ron before they left that they would be back to watch his match.
They also talked about how it'd cost them 15 Gold Coins to get here in warp gates since they took 5 Gold coins for each use of warp gates for unofficial or personal use.
So they expected him to win and pay back their gold coins.
But, now they regreted sending it.
Because that letter would only deepen his gloom.
...
"They are actually back haa?"
i murmured to myself as i saw the contents of the letter that were sent to me by Those 3.
So, they thought i could win and burnt out 15 gold coins to come back here?
I'm definately paying them back for this.
With the prize Money I get from winning the tournament.
I see, so it costs 5 gold coins to use a warp gate for personal use...
Damn, that's fkin expensive.
...
"Ooh, look they are coming out."
More and more people were gathering inside the stadium as the final session was about to begin.
everyone was watching in anticipation as in what would happen in the final and the 35000 seats were completely booked out.
The largest Cricket Stadium in the academy was completely booked out.
And Most of them were supporting Team A.
On that day More than 20000 people had used the Warp gate and burnt out 5 gold coins each to watch the final session of the game.
This was the last sport that was supposed to end By 6:30.
The time was 3:40 and the final session was in progress.
"huh?"
"woah"
people started whispering and shouting in excitement as the players came out.
The one who stood in the Bowlers end was Nilou and Ron was standing Right beside The batsman.
"What?"
"Oohhh!!"
"Is he going to stand there? Really? Isn't he just next to the pitch? Isn't that dangerous."
"He's wearing a Helmet so it's fine."
"I guess."
"Well the Refree isn't saying anything so i guess it's alright."
"The captain really finds unconventional means to try and get wickets doesn't he."
...
I was standing just to the side of the pitch right next to the batsman as his entire head seemed like it'd explode he shouted.
"You... How long are you going to mock me Commoner."
"I wasn't trying to."
Actuqlly i was. Standing next to him will certainly provoke him to hit towards me.
Niloy is a left arm Finger spinner and his balls usually go from leg to Off meaning it will pitch in my opposite direction and Come towards my directuon.
So, if he didnt gauge the tregictory and tried to Hit the ball towards me without considering the line, length and the spin degree, what do you think will happen?
*Bam*
[Knocks his stump over, what a ripper. The session has just started and they have already gotten the breakthrough.]
He'd obviously expose his stumps.
Sayonara Bitch.
That's how we got the breakthrough.
...
there was no point in All this if not wickets. As long as we get More than 9 wickets we'll Win.
That means i have to get them all out in 30 overs.
...
"Wow, this is insane... Look at him, he's showing so many expressions. Expressions we have never seen before.
"He's like a totally different person. With the amountvof seriousness and aggression he's showing towards the opponents, he doesn't at all look like the usually Timid And Normal Ron.
Right now... He looks like a predator Hunting his prey with precision."
"That, guy really is something isn't he."
[Its Up in the air, it's straight up. High in the air and .... Taken, excellently done by the keeper with his gloves.]
"Wow, they got another one. This time it was ron who got the Wicket."
....
I'd bowled 10 overs and Niloy bowled 10 and now we had 10 More overs to go with 3 More Wickets to get.
They had to get around 65 More runs.
This was how the 21st over of the final session went.

[My goodness, an edge and the slip can't hold on he gets a 4 and now Ron who's bowling the final over is in serious pressure. What's this? He's bought in 1 slips and a leg slip. Is this a strategy of desperation or is it an actual plan.]
The spin is too much so i have to keep a slip and a leg slip. I haven't bowled any carrom balls yet even though i can use them
i put the leg slip so an edge doesn't go for a four. I have to get that wicket in 5 balls.
Damn it... If only he'd taken that catch...
Can... I do it?
haa... There's no point worrying, we just have to.
[5 More balls to go and 4 more runs to win. Justvhow the tables have changed thanks to the captain surviving until the end. This is a Capfain's knock alright.]

[Edge... and taken by the slip fielder, what a catch... What an end to a game of cricket. A 5 day test match going until the last over and Now From the mouths of defeat Team A has Secured a victory as Ron jumps around in joy while he gravs the stumps and runs ariund the Stadium screaming at the top of his lungs. As huge roars are heard from within the stands. The man of the moment, The man of the final. He not only Scores a double hundred in a final but also takes a 5 wicket hawl. He's a walking gem this man."
