Grade Cricket Season XII

Gutted.

Awesome to get the man of the match, too bad the scorecard is for a different game though

EDIT:

This is the scorecard for all the tigers/braves fans.

1/11 off 5 is fair gun, especially for a part time spinner opening the bowling. 83 (119) is a good score, but disappointing to eat all the strike and not go on for a ton. Doesnt matter though, as we won. Go you tiges.

Batting was crap, had a good bowling return for a very risky captaincy move. Good to get a win.

Round 3 - 28 April

Garven Island Sharks v Fitzworthingham Broncos

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Ethan McNamara and Rhys Williams ripped the heart out of the Sharks' performance, as they fell from 63 for one to 77 for seven. An excellent, threatening and polished performance saw them all out for 135, leaving the Broncos with an easy target. Despite a meagre effort from Hogarth and Speirs at the top of the order, the Broncos eked home thanks to Williams' 23.

Garven Island Sharks 135 all out (36 overs; E McNamara 4/18 [5], R Williams 3/11 [3], Ditchburn 2/23 [8], Speirs 1/17 [5])
Fitzworthingham Broncos 136 for five (39.3 overs; Nixon 50, Williams 23*; Shaukhat 2/20 [7])

Fitzworthingham Broncos (10pts) beat Garven Island Sharks (0pts) by five wickets
Man of the Match: E. A. P. McNamara (Fitzworthingham Broncos)

Gofftown Tigers v Nixonstown Foxes

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

The Tigers' bowling disappointed in their own oval, as only Greg Thomas escaped with respectability. Nitin Dravid bashed a quick 30, while the rest of the order contributed solid scores and took runs off Demeza in particular, though he took some late-order wickets to end with the lowest average. When James Malthus was run out for 12, the game looked decidedly over

Nixonstown Foxes 252 for seven (50 overs; Dalton 77*; Thomas 2/39 [10], Demeza 3/51 [9])
Gofftown Tigers 203 all out (46 overs; Jamaluddin 64; Riaz 3/32 [9], Teisseire 2/9 [3], Flanaghan 2/53 [10])

Nixonstown Foxes (9pts) beat Gofftown Tigers (0pts) won by 49 runs
Man of the Match: T. W. Dalton (Nixonstown Foxes)

Greater Robbham de Grooters v Campsfield Braves

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

A huge 112 from Tariq Khan propelled Greater Robbham to a very defendable 229 on a difficult Bar Ground wicket; Collins was ineffective and only given eight overs, of largely unimpressive bowling.

The finish was nailbiting. Jahangir and Blackman took the Braves to a comfortable position at 150 for one, but Robbham's captain, obviously not pleased with Amir hopping at fine leg, gave him another spell after his start of 4-1-8-0. The results were spectacular. Though runs flowed in his first over, he then trapped Blackman lbw in the next, before jamming two quick ones to get rid of Jamil and Jacklin. He was rested for the death - and quickly provided two more wickets, completing an excellent five-for. Pardhasardhi cleaned up and de Grooters took an improbable victory.

Greater Robbham de Grooters 229 for four (Tariq 112*; Langdon 2/34 [10])
Campsfield Braves 198 all out (48 overs; Jahangir 91, Blackman 60; Amir 5/44 [10], Pardhasaradhi 2/15 [6], Sukhvinder 2/32 [10])

Greater Robbham de Grooters (9pts) beat Campsfield Braves (0pts) by 31 runs
Man of the Match: M. U. Amir (Greater Robbham de Grooters)

Maddington Frenzy v Edfield Seahawks

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Håkon Mørk made 66 as the Seahawks battled to a competitive total in Maddington against an extremely impressive bowling effort. Syed started the battle with two wickets with the new ball, and when Payne had Derick bowled to redeem an expensive spell they looked in trouble. But Morton helped Mørk stabilise the innings, and the two added 100 of the 210 runs. However, despite electric fielding, the bowling effort was too feeble against a fine inning from Malone jnr., who guided his team to a big tally with his 70. Props also went to Fielke, whose unbeaten 50 took his team across the line.

Edfield Seahawks 210 all out (49.1 overs; Mørk 66, Morton 59; Syed 2/19, Malone jnr. 2/34, Simpson 2/36, Kross 2/41)
Maddington Frenzy 214 for seven (48.1 overs; Malone jnr. 70, Fielke 50)

Maddington Frenzy (8pts) beat Edfield Seahawks (0pts) by three wickets
Man of the Match: R. Malone jnr. (Maddington Frenzy)

Stedingham Jets v Pickford Panthers

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

James Stedman demolished the Pickford Panthers for a typical one-day innings, lashing out 146 not out against the part-timers. In frustration, the Panthers threw down 25 wides in a highly substandard performance, while Megan Gaukroger plucked up 62 runs in a useful, if slow, innings. The target always looked huge; Stedman followed up by having both openers caught behind off his medium pace, and Hogarth cleaned up as the Panthers posted a creditable 241, nevertheless falling well short.

Stedingham Jets 290 for three (Stedman 146*, Gaukroger 62)
Pickford Panthers 241 for eight (****erill 84, Gokarn 56; Hogarth 4/52, Bala 2/48, Stedman 2/49)

Stedingham Jets (9pts) beat Pickford Darters (0pts) by 49 runs
Man of the Match: J. E. Stedman (Stedingham Jets)

Twybridge Titans v Davistow Darters

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Twybridge failed to pile on the pressure after Forner's early strikes, with McNamara letting things go in his ten overs worth 53. Thus, Cassidy and not the least Murdoch could up the target considerably, and the total of 205 looked at least a moderate challenge. However, Tarick Weber ensured no problems, hitting twelve fours and one six as the Titans blasted past the target with six overs to spare despite finding themselves at 58 for three at the 12-over mark.

Davistow Darters 205 for seven (50 overs; Cassidy 59; Forner 3/19 [5], McNamara 2/53 [10])
Twybridge Titans 207 for four (44.1 overs; Weber 93*; Cassidy 2/40 [10])

Twybridge Titans (9pts) beat Davistow Darters (0pts) by six wickets
Man of the Match: T. V. Weber (Twybridge Titans)

Table:

Great start to the year for the Titans.

April 29

Back on schedule. *breathes out* The four top teams keep on going strong.

Garven Island Sharks v Fitzworthingham Broncos

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Rhys Williams routed the Sharks, taking seven wickets, with Tariq, Hanbury, Gregory and Shaukhat all gone for sub-1 scores as the Sharks slipped to six for four. The amateurs shone as conditions became easier, and Wallwork, Nixon and Condliffe all passed 60 in a huge tally of 435 runs. And despite a fine rearguard from Shaukhat, Williams was once again the bowling hero, nabbing six for 75 in a long day's work.

Garven Island Sharks 72 (Williams 7/33) & 231 (Shaukhat 103*, Stuart 53; Williams 6/75, Speirs 2/79)

Fitzworthingham Broncos (21pts) beat Garven Island Sharks (0pts) by an innings and 132 runs
Man of the Match: R. Williams (Fitzworthingham Broncos)

Gofftown Tigers v Nixonstown Foxes

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Despite the rearguard opening partnership of the second innings between Dravid and Luff, James Malthus kept his calm in the face of a huge target and batted through from number three to win the game. At 121 for five, Gofftown were struggling, but Jamaluddin joined Malthus and batted them to victory. Earlier, Thomas had been in prime bowling form, nabbing nine for 102 to bowl out the Foxes for low totals.

Nixonstown Foxes 189 (Tushar 34; Thomas 4/31, Demeza 2/50, Malthus 2/58) & 258 (Dravid 86, Luff 76; Thomas 5/71, Demeza 4/73)

Man of the Match: G. M. Thomas (Gofftown Tigers)

Greater Robbham de Grooters v Campsfield Braves

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

A long and fruitless day from Adam Collins, who bowled 48 overs with extremely little reward in Robbham. Amir and Mitchell were sharper, but it was Tariq Khan who shone for de Grooters, with a hundred coupled with five wickets in the first dig.

Robbham chased quick runs in the second innings, and fell to Collins and the rain, eventually declaring just after lunch. Collins came in at a precarious position at 97 for five, but a couple of crucial drops ended de Grooters' challenge despite two late wickets from Amir.

Greater Robbham de Grooters 346 (Tariq 115; Hasabnis 6/129) & 163/6d (Collins 3/45)
Campsfield Braves 201 (Blackman 46; Tariq 5/50, Amir 3/52, Mitchell 2/38) & 181/7 (Harvey 67; Amir 4/60, Mitchell 2/36)

Greater Robbham de Grooters (9pts) drew with Campsfield Braves (4pts)
Man of the Match: Tariq Khan (Greater Robbham de Grooters)

Maddington Frenzy v Edfield Seahawks

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

The Seahawks continued their slide in a spectacular clash in the Bacchanalia Fields, where several stars shone in a game where more than two thirds of the runs were made in the final two innings. Syed, Payne and Malone jnr. routed Maddington for 128, before improbably, Borcich recovered with five for 37 after his 36, allowing a three-run lead for the Seahawks. A gritty innings for Satish Kumar made the second-innings work very tough for the Frenzy, and while Syed struck six times no others could help. Four batsmen passed 40 as Maddington were set 297 to win; improbably, they managed. Rob Malone jnr. recovered from a first innings duck with an extraterrestrial 182 not out, stealing the limelight from Borcich at the very end.

Edfield Seahawks 128 (Borcich 36; Malone jnr. 3/32, Syed 3/33, Payne 3/36) & 293 (James 50, Herbert 47, Satish Kumar 46, Borcich 45; Syed 6/92, Stobo 3/45)
Maddington Frenzy 125 (Borcich 5/37) & 297/5 (Malone jnr. 182*, Kellaway 55; Herbert 3/74)

Maddington Frenzy (17pts) beat Edfield Seahawks (5pts) by five wickets
Man of the Match: R. Malone jnr. (Maddington Frenzy)

Stedingham Jets v Pickford Panthers

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

The Jets and the Panthers played out a dull draw with only one active professional, Megan Gaukroger, who failed to impress in her two innings. Bhattacharjee took nine wickets and was named Man of the Match.

Stedingham Jets 319 (Gillespie 68, Innes 53; McCrystal 4/85, Bhattacharjee 4/117) & 242/9 (Deodhar 85; Bhattacharjee 5/69)
Pickford Panthers 369 (****erill 77, Jacob 57; Gillespie 3/59)

Pickford Panthers (8pts) drew with Stedingham Jets (6pts)
Man of the Match: N. C. Bhattacharjee (Pickford Panthers)

Twybridge Titans v Davistow Darters

Scorecard
Ball By Ball

Raghav and Dawlat made early inroads and sent the Titans crashing to 53 for six at the Riverside; from then on, the Titans were in control. Jack McNamara stepped up with an excellent 83, and there were four other fifties, before Weber roared through with five wickets at the head of an excellent bowling effort. Following on, Weber went a wicket better, while his bowling partner McNamara claimed three victims as the Titans continued a magnificent start to the season.

Twybridge Titans 338 (McNamara 83, Naidu 69, Forner 58; Dawlat 4/54)
