Morden CC Vs St Lukes A 15/05/2010
45 Over League Match-Report by Wasif
Zamir
St
Lukes were entertained at
Wasif
won the toss and elected to bat (a decision that if I could master time travel
I would change!)
Nisar(0) was late so Atif(6) and Ruschil(0) opened,
to cut a short story even shorter we lost 5 wickets very quickly and cheaply
for only 16 runs.
Shoks(45) and Wasif(60) put together a good stand
until Shoks got himself bowled trying to cut a straight delivery.
I
was hoping the tail would wag………but it didn’t.
St Lukes were all out for 133.
Morden
decided to go straight out and bat and it was evident that they had the FA Cup
Final on their minds as the openers started to take our limited bowling attack
to pieces. Our 17 Year old bowler
M.Umair managed to take a wicket (brilliantly caught by Stef) but apart from
that the bowling and fielding was well below average.
Morden
Won by 9 Wickets in the 21st Over
Unfortunately
with 4 ducks and Mr Extras getting the 3rd highest score our batting
needs to improve for the next match. We
cannot blame our bowlers if they do not have a target to defend! Let’s support each other and aim for a win
this Saturday.
