Chucky - 8.5
Played with a lot of maturity to make 73. Made good use of the overs and kept himself focused on the task at hand. Seems to be in good nick, but needs to see the game through more often. Was his usual livewire self in the field. Good performance overall.
Dalip - 2
Out in the first over charging down to a length ball. The slump is getting a little too long, but he has the capability to bounce back. Fielding looked improved, except for a couple of times when he was slow to the ball.
Prateek - 2
LBW to an outswinger, no runs to his name. Keeping was good, except for a missed stumping. Saved a couple of balls down the leg side which could have easily gone for 4. Was instrumental in the only runout in the game.
Tanmay - 5.5
Only 2 runs to his name, as the promotion to 4 did not exactly work out. His bowling and fielding were again up to his high standards. 4 an over on a small ground is pretty good. Had the opposition confused with his pace/spin switch that he continued for 2 overs. Took a tricky catch to remove the dangerous looking opening batsman.
Rakesh - 1.5
Played a couple of stunning strokes, and then fell cheaply playing back to a pitched up delivery. Needs to learn to make use of the days when he is seeing the ball so clearly. Took a good catch on the boundary. Bowling was an atrocious mess. 2 overs for 18 runs with 12 wides, enough said.
Dave - 2
Failed with the bat when the conditions were ideal for him. Did not get a chance with the ball. His fielding and concentration levels have increased a lot. Dave is fast becoming one of the better infield fielders in the side.
Atif - 9.5
Man of the day, not even a discussion needed there. Destroyed the opposition with a 5.2-2-12-5 spell. Used flight, drift and turn beautifully. Took a good return catch. He wasnt done yet. Made a brave and game saving 42. Would have been a 10 today if he had finished his 50 or brought the game home. Great job though.
Warren - 7
A decent opening spell, one that kept the opposition on thier toes. Took a well judged catch in the outfield. His performance of the day was with the bat though. Made a cool and collected 22 to bring the game home. Two backfoot cover drives, stood out in his innings.
Umair - 2
Fielded with a lot of heart and effort. Dropped a chance, which half the players in the side would not even have made into a chance. Needs a little more experience under his belt. Batting was not much to write about, he was probably too defensive considering the situation and did not play his natural game.
Allan - 4
5-1-23-0 is a good bowling effort on the small ground. Induced some edges which did not carry. Batting was dissapointing as he denied Warren the game tieing run and was caught in the deep going for glory.
Coach - 5.5
A touch expensive but effective. His double strike turned the game around. The collapse started in his 3rd over. Coach also had a few close calls that could have gone either way. Dropped a catch at mid wicket. Kept cool and collected to score the 2 runs that were needed to win when he walked in.
Result - Titans CC beat Westside Cavaliers by 1 wicket.

Titans Vs Lauderhill United
Chucky - 6
Did not get a chance to do much, but is one of the best fielders in the side and proved it with a couple of lovely stops and some quick work in the outfield. He works hard in the field and is a natural at any position.
Dalip - 4.5
Very little to do in the field, but could have affected a run out had he moved a little quicker to the ball early on in the game. His throws have gotten a little better, but needs to get quicker in the outfield.
Ruchir - 1
Had a horrid day in the field. Had a hard half-chance fly by him early, then was very slow to move to a lobbed catch offering from the highest scorer and did not make it to the catch. On the same delivery the follow up throw was horribly off-target throw that made it two lives on the same delivery. Had another potential runout chance go begging. He is lanky and athletic guy, and needs to prove his worth on the field.
Prateek - 4
A little shaky behind the stumps, but got better as the day went on. Fumbled a collection that could have been a runout. Had a decent day otherwise.
Rakesh - 3.5
Slow to react to strokes hit past him. The throws from the outfield are a little inconsistent too. This often ends up with ones turning into twos. Needs to prove his worth in the field.
Dave - 5
Decent in the field. He has gotten better with his focus and realization of field positioning.
Tanmay - 8.5
Bowled at 2 an over in a game where the team went for 6.7 an over. Apart from being economical, he was able to create a couple of wicket taking opportunities. He figured out the batsmen and made adjustments better than any other bowler in the day. Made a couple of great stops and kept the batsmen from stealing a single multiple times.
Warren - 5.5
Was a little wayward in parts of his spell. 6-0-31-1 are decent figures for a bowler, but not up to expectations. Bowled a few great deliveries and removed a dangerous-looking opening batsmen. Dropped a chance after doing the hard work of getting to the ball. Ran out a batsman with a dive to the stumps. Acouple of throws in the field were off, but showed that he is a decent infield option too.
Alan - 3.5
Took a good return catch to get his one wicket for the day. Things were not as rosy otherwise, 8.33 economy rate is no where near his best work. Pitched it too far up, too often. The movement is there, the line/length is not. Did not attempt a catch where there might have been one. He will be looked upon to provide improved performances in the coming games.
Paul - 3.5
Off of his game. Bowled a beauty to get rid of his opposite number, but there wasnt much else to cheer. A few decent deliveries were followed by a horrid last over that went for 17 runs. He needs to get back to fitness and form in order to contribute heavily again.
Yasir - 2
Affected a runout from point, but was off for the rest of the game. 8 wides and 4 no balls made him end up with 2-0-25-0, hardly an inspiring performance. Failed to make adjustments to his runup and line and ended up with a very below par performance.
Result Game declared a No-Result(Lauderhill United 155/5)
