v ALBAMORPHICS, 12TH MAY 2016
DYNAMIC FIELDING DISPLAY WINS SUPERSTARS MATCH.
Let me type that again to prove it wasn't a typo or you thought your eyes were deceiving you.
DYNAMIC FIELDING DISPLAY WINS SUPERSTARS MATCH.
Paul G, standing in for Barry, came second in the toss and was asked to bat. Initially it was toughish going on a slow wicket and damp outfield after the recent rain. Mark A and Paul G were dismissed early while Will W and Adam weren't quite their fluent best but gradually went through their gears to both retire at 32 (it was a retire at 30 game at the request of the opposition). Rick S and Vijay entered the fray and were more fluent from the start and took us from around 5-an-over to a final score 128-2 in 20 overs, with scores of 25no and 30no respectively. 128 looked decent, but certainly not an outstanding score.
Harish and Will S opened the bowling and kept things nicely tight. Merv, who was late for the match as he was busy laying grass (not a euphamism), turfed out one batsman and sowed seeds of doubt in the others in a stunning spell of 4-0-9-1. He was accompanied by legendary spinner Mike D who not only bowled beautifully for 4-0-13-1 (including a catch from Rick) but ran out the number 3. The required rate was rising but Albamorphics seemed unable to break the tight hold of Superstars' suffocating tight fielding - indicative of the run outs (there were 3, two from Gary and the one from Mike D mentioned above). Gary's bowling was excellent, and aided by this uncharacteristic fielding returned lovely figures of 3-0-4-1 with Vijay completing the 20 overs with a single over for Vijay (1 wicket, 3 runs). Albamophics ended on 76-7 for a pleasing victory for the wonderfully marshalled Superstars.
Team: Gaught(capt), Anderson, Walker, Spencer, Smith, Anand, Plahe, Kumar (H), Aranha, Duggan, Spry.
