Despite better bowling against mighty Australians, India gave up the first match with a mere 36 runs all out in their second inning. This news is a talk of the media today. For me, a team dropping five catches in a match was equally embracing. This historic 36 runs of a team reminded me of another match during the early 90s at Sikkim. The tournament - Thirani Cup, the venue – Paljor Stadium and it was a match between Development Area, Gangtok against Singtam.
The match was 50 over, Development Area scored 194 runs with one of the opening batsmen reaching a century. The centurion batsman was dropped when he had not reached the double-figure. The bowlers gave a tough challenge. When the Singtam batsman came to bat, they never had expected the outcome. Singtam Cricket Team were bundled out for mere 36 runs that included eight players from Singtam getting a duck. The highest score from them was an extra.
Indian Team equaled the Singtam Cricket Team’s lowest score made me think – everyone has a bad day. This story is just for documentation of the lowest scores related to Sikkim cricket.
