Seas loose to San Mateo by 5 wickets.

B-div: San Mateo CC @ SCCC III
Date: 07/26/2009
Played at: Wilson Education Center
Umpires: Ganesh S & Saeed (Cardinals)
Toss: won by SCCC III and elected to bat

SCCC III : 206 /10 in 44(Dinesh P 27, Harsh S 22, Malav 26, Nirsarg P 35, Hardik 27,  Govind 4/41, Ganesh 2/43)

lost to

San Mateo CC : 207/5 in 42.3 overs(Raj B 46, Snehal 55, Navneet 33, Govind K 32, Rajesh R 2/38)


After winning the toss seas opened the batting with Dinesh P, playing his last game for SCCC, and Ravi V. In the midst of some tight bowling seas ended the the first session at 57/1. After this Seas lost the way in the second session where the entire middle order got out to soft dismissals against the run of play, which left the seas struggling at 113/6. In the last session Nisarg (Modern day Miandad) and the Hardik had a brilliant partnership, followed by another good innings from Mangesh to push the Seas to 206. These days a score around 200 on our field gives a fighting chance but not necessarily a winning one.

Seas went in to field determined to put up a good display and the opening bowlers Dinesh and Saurabh were tidy to prevent SMCC from getting of to a flier. However several catches were dropped by usually reliable fielders through all three sessions which resulted in a comfortable win for SMCC.

Umpiring from Ganesh S (umpired from both ends) was excellent. Seas hope to come back strongly in the game.

40, Zulfkil 30+, Sujesh 3 wickets, Appu chachcha 1 wicket, krish 1
wicket, Satish 1 wicket, Imran.M 1 wicket)

Game which went to the Wire on a superb outfield where Saqib played
with the maturity to Win games single handedly when Marin required 90
runs in last 13 overs to win. Zee played an amazing knock as opener
playing some splendid cover drives finding gaps. Santa Clara II
started well with 80 for 2 and then gettign to 150 for 3, Chandru
batted sensisibily to score 43. Shiva and Chandrodaya batted
brilliantly to take the score to 220 for 3 in 46 overs. Lost few
wickets to accelerate in the end and hamza came back well in second
spell to capture 3 wickets. Imran Nana bowled well to control runs.
Nirosh had an off day and the score board says it all. Marin were 60
for 5 including shoaib, Zulfkil their new australian left handed
batsman. Ozair and Saqib did a good recovery to settle down and chase
the score. Saqib batted superbly with the lower order to ensure
victory was reached in style. Nirosh and Rishi gave good support to
Saqib. The shot of the day was a switch hit from saqib which went over
covers for a 4. Marin thoroughly deserve to Win this game for the
calmness saqib showed by playing an innings without giving a single
chance. Good Knock Saqib.

I will update accurate scores once i have the score sheet for batsman
and bowlers.

Jaggi and Mahesh did an excellent Job umpiring.

Seas Vs Caribbean, 7/19/09 - Scores and brief match report

B-div: SCCC III @ Caribbean
Date: 07/19/2009
Played at: Lamoine Park
Umpires: Ranveer and Happy (Valley I)
Toss: won by Caribbean and elected to bat

team batting first: 56 a.o in 18.3 overs(Saqib 19, Hiren 3/10, Saurabh 2/25, Mangesh 2/5)

defeated/lost to

team batting second: 57/1 in 11.5 overs(Ravi V 28*, Harsh 19*, Sher 1/12)

Caribbean started the proceedings with Sher and Sami (from Cougars) as Seas started the bowling with Dinesh and Saurabh. Dinesh who was unable to hold on to a return catch of the 4th ball of the innings, had Sami caught behind in the 9th over. At the other end Saurabh bowled good line to pick the crucial wickets of Sher, caught at mid on and Saqib (Marin CC) played on while playing a pull shot. After that the remaining caribbean batsman had no answer to the banana inswing of Hiren and the accuracy of Mangu. Caribbean played with 10 players and were eventually bundled out of 56.

 

Seas started the innings with Chandu and yours truly, and inspite of loosing Chandu early scored the required runs in 11.5 overs. Harsh played some good shots in the end to finish the innings quickly.

 

Seas will look forward to carry the momentum in to the next games.

 

Cheers,
