Hot Dogs vs Bashers

25 May 2008

Thrilling day's cricket at BISS saw the Social Dogs lose by 1 run to the Bashers Social CC.

Bashers were late arriving and sent in to bat and the Dogs struck in the first over with a peach from Prerak Patel that was caught behind.  Vikas Laxman got their captain a few overs later and things were looking good.  The Bashers got their eye in a bit and settled into some useful partnerships that saw them amass a total of 170 runs from their 20 overs.  Excellent bowling from David Frame and Damon Palling was key to only allowing the 170.  Fielding was above average with catches coming from Ryan Saling (2 and stumping), Prerak and Guangyu.

The batting started off a bit dismal with Prerak and Manoj Mehta falling quickly.  Vikas and David put together a great 3rd wicket partnership that led to Vikas eventually retiring for the second consecutive week on 41 and David being caught on the boundry on 37.  Valiant effort by David after having turned his ankle on about 22 runs.  With one man short due to fielding injury the Dogs were not able to see out the 20 overs and were cleaned out one run shy of equaling their oponents.

Good match, played in good spirit, with (hate to admit it) good group of guys on the opposition side.  Next match is Sunday June 1 at BISS again.  Right now available are as follows:

Ryan Saling
Damon Palling
Prerak Patel
Chirag Patel
Vikas Laxman
Rak Mistry
Guangyu
Justin Fish
Manoj Mehta
Stig
David Frame (pending recovery)
Uma Maheshwaran

Would like to see more people available so we can get some matches under peoples belts prior to the summer when it becomes more difficult to select from sparce pool of people.  Game time for June 1 will be sent out when available.

Questions or comments please let me know.
