(Marin Can post Exact Scores and Number of Overs)

Slow outfield at Marin but the wicket is a Beauty. Marin started with
Nirosh and Zee. They played well till the 8th over and put almost 30
runs on Board. Nirosh Started with a beatiful inside out shot over
extra covers for a huge six but trying too many shots at one point got
him out and the collapse started from then on. Hamel Bowled
beautifully with amazing outswingers to right handers and removed
Saqib with the help of a brilliant catch by umesh at second slip with
his left hand. Saad removed Shoaib who tried to settle in with some
shots and edged one to keeper. The score suddenly reads 40 for 4. Zee
got out to a soft dismissal after settling down nicely. Shantanu was
on fire from ball one. he was bowling with lively pace and Marin
already on backfoot looking for a special knock from OZair and RD. RD
gloved a ball down the leg from shantanu which could have been a wide.
Great sportsmanship by RD walking as soon as the wicket keeper caught
the ball. Even the umpire was not sure nor anyone in the field about
the glove. (RD always walks so it's not new and always played with
good spirits). Ozair was tryignt or rebuild with Everton but MArin
already 5 down for 49. Ozair got a beauty from shantanu which squared
him up and edged the ball to Wicket keeper. Everton got bowled to
another inswinging yorker from shantanu. Gautam alogn with Faraz put a
small partnership where faraz hit few shots to take the score to 60
for 7. Gautam played Carefully. Faraz gt bowled tryign to pull vijith.
Rishi walked in and hit few shots and got bowled to Sujesh. Last man
to get out was gautam off vijith's bowling.

Innings started immediately. SUjesh and Sunil Opened for SCCC I. Sunil
got out first trying to oull faraz when the score was 15. Umesh and
sujesh Batted together for few overs when marin was givign nothign
away with some good bowling from hamza and faraz. Gautam introduced to
the attack and Sujesh flicked a ball and took elading edge to short
extra covers and got out. 88 was an easy target for a strong SCCC I
battign line up at marin wicket since it's a batting paradise once you
settle in. SCCC I made it interesting when SHiva mistimed a pull
straight to zee of Faraz's Bowling. Shantanu opted to bat low to give
others a chance. In walked Sunil.S the wicket keeper who had a great
day behind stumps. Sunil.S played some good shots and took the score
to 70 runs. Lunch was taken and Just when things looked almost over
SCCC I created soem climax by a soft dismall of Umesh by Nirosh where
he hit a drive straight back at him. Sunil.S tried to play a cut and
got out to saqib caught by RD. Saad and Shantany ensured there is no
more damage and Saad played 2 glorious shots in his short stay. Game
got over soon and an excellent day with a low scoring game.

Excellent Umpiring by Kamal and the other Umpire from Cougars

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.

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.

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.

Bees beat Valley-I @ home - 06-27-2009- Match Report

A-div: Valley-I @ Santa Clara II
Date: 06/27/2009
Played at: Wilson Adult School, SCCC
Umpires: Rohan Chandran and Shashi (Stanford-I)
Toss: won by Valley-I and elected to bat

Valley-I 255 for 8 in 50 overs (Happy 56, Ranveer 54, Jigar 48, Kamal.D 21)
Appu Chacha 10-0-40-3, Imran 8-1-40-2, Sujesh 10-0-47-1

Out, Ashish.K 7 Not Out)
Kamal.D 8-0-30-1, Raju 4-1-24-1

by 8 wickets

Match Report:

Kamal.D and Jigar Patel gave Valley-I a dream start without giving a
single chance in first 15 overs scoring 81 runs. Shafiq gettign otu
first ball after such a great start reduced atleats 50 runs from
Valley-I's score. Happy with an exceptional knock along with a matured
Ranveer played sensibly for Valley-I. Happy played some nice scoops to
leg side and played within himself. They both had 85 runs partnership
for the 5th wicket. Ranveer started openign up and got caught at point
by shiva of Imran's bowling. Appu Chacha magic man again gave crucial
breakthroughs and broke the opening partnership which was goign steady
with a beauty. Ashok hit some lusty blows int he end to give an extra
boost and Valley-I ended up scoring 255 runs. Prumjot kept wickets
really well for santa clara-II. Saad Bowled well but didn't get any
wickets.

Lunch was served and a super hot day where 130 bottles of water got
emptied a blinder and top notch knock form Arjun and another classy
knock from Shiva gave no hope for valley other than toiling them on a
hot day with long boundaries at SCCC.

Fast outfield and medium pace bowlers didn't help Valley-I restrict
Santa Clara-II on a hot day after putting 255 on board. This is
probabaly the highest winning run chase at SCCC since 1987. Icing on
the cake was the 8 wicket victory. Arjun didn't let any bowlers settle
down and hit only 10 boundaries and a six to get to his hundred, Shiva
hit 11 boundaries. The runnign between wickets was exceptional and
that put a lot of pressure on Valley-I fielders. Sandeep started well
with some good offspinners and leg spinners mixed up but got hit on
his hand to stop a shot form arjun and got hurt badly. The extra cover
drive which went like lightning from shiva's bat to get to hundred was
a treat to watch. Arjun played some shots where the fielders hardly
moved. It took a while for Vally-I fielders to get used to fast
outfield and a Mature batting display proved that anything is
chaseable anywhere. Arjun was due for a big innings and wouldn't have
come at a better stage chasing 255 to perform at his best. Shiva is
batting with so much poise where it shows the hunger and grit to score
big every game.

Excellent umpiring by Rohan and Shashi ended the day beautifully with
a good day of cricket.
