Morden CC Vs St Lukes A 15/05/2010

Morden Park

 

45 Over League Match-Report by Wasif Zamir

 

St Lukes were entertained at Morden Park, a beautiful ground with excellent surroundings.

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.
