United Lost malhi early but Harry was playing lone hand and played some excellent shots on the off side. Ahmad and sathya picked up early wickets and at one point united where 63 for 3 wicketsin 15 overs. But tight bowling from sujesh and srinivas restrcited united in the middle overs  to 83 in 25 overs followed by an amazing spell of leg spin by aditya thyagarajan and Imran. They got all out for 120 runs. Sonu was the last batsman out trying to accelerate for a a well made 19 runs. United team tried but couldn't beat the field on a nicely mowed ground.

Santa Clara-II started their innings with hassan amin and krishna. they put on 24 runs before hassan amin got bowled to a good ball by Sonu. Chandru walks and keep the score board moving and had another 30 runs partnership with krishna. United bowled tight and tried hard but 120 were too less to defend. krishna got out for a well amde 23 runs to a soft dismissal getting a leading edge of steve's bowling. In walks Aditya the coolest bastman u can find in california. he milked the bowling initially and played some superb drives along the ground to make the game one-sided. Aditya and chandru had a 40 runs partenrship before chandru got to a caught and bowled by Ajay for 24 runs. Chandrodaya joined aditya and ensured no body else batted on a day where santa clara-II did everything right. Aditya finished the game like usual in style by scoring 38 not out and chandrodaya remained not out scoring 10 runs.

Execellent umpiring by Sundaram and shashi. A.S from stanford-A-II. very impressed with their judgement and consistency. A job very well done.

The game as usual was played in great spirits.

SOX Win - Report

Tracy and SOX got in a hot contest on a warm Saturday at SCCC ground. Tracy won the toss and decided to set a target for SCCC. They started well but did not push for runs from the beginning. One of the openers (Unknown) was batting with a fairly straight bat while the other as part of a plan was trying to go after Hamel and Prashant. Hamel drew first blood with a catch in the first slip to Shahab. He eventually ended up with 4 wickets, two of which were on consecutive deliveries. Prashant and then Rajan supported him very well. One of Rajan's wicket was a perfect line and length delivery with a little extra zip so much so that it only took a single bail off when it hit the stumps. Sam got a wicket as well when Shahab took a skier at long on while keeping very tight control on the proceedings.
Anshuman was rewarded for his hard work with a wicket as well when he bowled out a batsman who was starting to look dangerous. Tracy scored their 143 runs on the backs of Harry (53) and Shahid (33). Jagat and Prashant did well to control the scoring in their stints.
 

SOX started with Prasad and Shahab however, the partnership did not last long when Shahab nicked one to the keeper in the third over. After another dismissal, the slide in the order was halted by Rajan who partnered with Sam to carry the team with a marvellous 50. Sam supported him throughout with some amazing along-the-ground strokes of his own that made their way to the boundary. Tracy missed a couple of chances in dropped catches but for the most part they grabbed everything that came their way  While Rajan and Sam solidified and got SOX close to the victory, things started to seem to slip again when both got out in quick succession. In a rush to finish things off, the batsmen that followed gifted their wickets away and in the end SOX were down to the last two wickets with only three runs needed in the last over. Hamel and Anshuman kept their nerves about them and managed to make the final push together. SOX finished the game with three balls to spare.

 

Manish, Kuldeep and Harry were among wickets for Tracy.

 

SOX will be in action again at Home on the 31st of May.

Seas beat Indus II by 4 wickets.

Hi all,

As per the news you have already received, seas beat Indus II by 4 wickets.

Brief scores :

C-div : SCCC III @ Indus II
Date : 5/18/08
Played at : Rancho Milpitas middle school
Umpires : Shaqib S (Level 3) and Mohammed D (Level 4)
Toss : Won by Indus, elected to bat

Indus II : 129 a.o in 36.1 overs (Rakesh I 30, Masi M 35, Pravin B 24, Rajesh R 3/27, Satish 4/22)

lost to

SCCC III : 132/6 in 24 overs ( Ashish 24, Chandra S 40* (29 balls), Ravi V 23*, Masi 3/38)

Match report :

Seas started the day with minor disruption as Govind was delayed and Satish had to drive back to SCCC home ground to hand over the rest room key which inadvertently ended up in his kit bag. Nisarg accepted to be 12th man for this game and SCCC had no issues fielding 11 right from the start of game after Indus choose to bat. The umpires were delayed as well and the match started at around 10:25 AM. Dinesh and Mohit opened the bowling for the seas. Mohit got the first breakthrough with a caught and bowled dismissal of one of the Indus openers. Seas bowled a few wides and Indus hit a few streaky boundaries to take the score to 53/1 at 15 overs. After the drinks break Masi and Rakesh from Indus continued to bat with caution punishing bad balls and defending the good ones. By the 23rd over Indus were 91/1. At this stage Satish was introduced in to the attack and the situation dramatically turned around in the favour of Seas. Satish had the Rakesh caught behind, and followed it with a fast inswinger to uproot Masi's middle stump. In the subsequent overs, two more wickets fell to scorching yorkers, one resulted in a LBW and the other knocked the middle stump over. At the other end Gundan bowled a tight line and picked up three wickets, including the important one of Praveen K, caught behind. Dinesh picked up the last wicket with the first ball of his second spell and the Indus innings folded at 129 as they lost 9 wickets for the addition of 38 runs.

After a good lunch from swagat Seas began the chase by loosing Dinesh in the second over, LBW to Masi. Govind continued his good form by hitting 3 consecutive boundaries before knicking one to the first slip to leave the seas to 29/2 in 5 overs. Ashish started well, severly punishing bad balls as the seas were cruising nicely at 53/2 by the end of 8 eight overs and against the run of play Ashish got run out pushing for a non existent single. Three more wickets followed as Vicky was caught at 1st slip, Rohit played on while trying to leave the ball and Harsh given out LBW. The flurry of wickets reduced the seas to  66/6 by the 15th over.  After the drinks break seas resumed batting with Chandra and yours truly. Chandra changed the tempo of the game by scoring quick boundaries (intially of bad balls and subsequently even good balls weren't spared) as seas chased the score with out further loss of wickets.

Finally a satisfying win, but the issue of loosing to many wickets in the first 15 overs needs to be resolved. Many thanks to Nisarg for helping out as 12th man for this game.

Cheers,
Ravi V

He was bowlign fast and hitting the spot. Imran had a off day by not getting any wickets.

Ritesh kadu was electric behidn stumps and plucked 2 great catches behind.

 

Good lunch served. Job well done in the first session for the poor start and wides.

Well mowed fast outfield and 210 should be an easy target.

 

Ritesh started well with 2 boundaries but Dan theb tricky man decievd him with pace and got inside edge bowled.

Followed by hassan inside edge bowled. Chandru walks in and played a wild shot to counter attack and fell to jay.

krishna was settlign in nicely. Chandrodaya walks in and gets bowled isndie egde to jay. We are in deep trouble.

Bees will come back strongly and can expect better performance in the future games.

Seas beat Stanford II by 145 runs !

Hi all,
Seas beat Stanford II in the home game.

Brief scores :

C div : Stanford II @ SCCC III
Date : 05/12/2008
Played at : Wilson Adult Eductation Center
Umpires : Samip & Anurag (Cruisers)
Toss : Santa Clara III, elected to Bat

SCCC III 237 a.o in 44 overs ( Govind 95, Rohit 27, Mayank 3/65, Hari 3/30, Manish 2/25)

defeated

Stanford II 92 a.o in 30 overs ( Deepak 23, Tushara 39, Mohit 2/23, Rajesh R 2/29, Mangesh 2/8)


Match details :

SCCC Innings : Under wet and overcast conditions seas choose to bat and opened with Govind and Dinesh. Both the openers started positively, showing the intent to take on the bowlers and added 42 runs in 7 overs before Dinesh got out trying to play a big shot. Govind at the other end was his usual self playing to the merit of the ball without ever missing out an opportunity to score runs. He was well supported by Ashish. At the end of 15 overs the score read 59/1.  In the second session Harsh and Govind built a good partnership, scoring consistently with aggresive running between the wickets. At the end of 30 overs the score read 134/3. After the second drinks break Govind and Harsh upped the scoring rate and fell quickly in the process. Finally a magnificent chanceless innings from Govind came to end when he was caught at short extra cover. Govind was unlucky to miss out on a well deserved century by 5 runs, his shots all around the wicket were pleasing to watch. Rajesh R (Gunda) got bowled  for  a golden duck as the Seas were reduced to 158/6 in 35 overs. Rohit and yours truly kept the score board moving and both of them fell in quick succession when a score of 230 was very much possible. Chandra S (Chandu), Mohit and Mangesh put their best efforts to get the 5th batting point. Seas were finally bowled out for 237 in 44 overs.

Standford II Innings :

Chasing 237 , especially on an unmowed field was a tough ask and stanford had disastrous start by losing 2 wickets in the first over. Arif, who backed up too far was the first one to go, and was run out by Gunda. Initially Gunda tried to take on the batsman by running towards the bowlers end from squre leg and later wisely decided to throw the ball at the bowlers end and Govind did the rest. Mohit bowled well in patches to pick up 2 wickets. Dinesh at the other end bowled a tight spell and was unlucky not to get a wicket. Stanford lost wickets at regular intervels with only Tushara scoring some runs by chancing his arm. A flurry of dropped catches delayed the inevitable, but stanford II eventually got all out for 92 in 30 overs. Chandu picket up 1 wicket and bowled tidy 6 overs. Gunda created lot of chances and picked up 2 wickets. Mangesh bowled 3 good overs to pick up 2 wickets as well.

Overall  a very good win for seas. The second consecutive win made possible by very good batting.

Cheers,
Ravi V

Aces result preview..

Aces lost to CV by 4 wickets. Aces scored 228 run in super fast outfield, but CV played well to chase it off. Gagandeep played hell of an innings to set a win for them comfortably, he hit some 8/10 towering sixes, everything coming from middle of the bat.

 

CV has added some good talent this year and is certainly a lot different than any of the CV teams we played before. Details to follow.

 

cheers,

Sunil.
