Titans Vs Westside Cavaliers

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.
