Another character win against a terrible team with clearly no regard for sportsmanship or respect for the opposition or umpire. To defend 115 was simply incredible considering Tanmay was out with injury. Having to defend 115 was simply ridiculous.
Please notice the AGAIN AGAIN text in this blog...we need to learn from our mistakes and try to improve guys.
Let's start from the top down...team leaders/ veterans first.
Paul - 7.0 (.5 batting, 2.5 fielding, 3.0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Fielding was good. Bowled economically and picked up three timely wickets. LBW decision was a bit sketchy as it hit him on the thigh...again the last man out.
Tiki - 7.0 (0 batting, 3.0 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
Batting was poor application after all the discussions about that pitch. Keeping was GREAT with only one of four stumpings given. Full discretionary for his efforts throughout.
Wazza - 8.5 (1.5 batting, 3.0 fielding, 3.0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Did some hard work at the crease batting. Fielding was solid. Bowling was superb picking up 3-19 in nine overs. Picks up a 1.0 on discretionary for being the bowling spearhead AGAIN.
Chuck - 5.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 2.0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Golden duck. Fielding was ok. Bowling was par. Picks up the full discretionary points for his presence in the field.
Dalip - 9.0 (2.5 batting, 2.5 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
Man of the match this week again top scoring for the team on a tough batting track. He dropped a couple half chances but took a blinder and initiated a run-out. Probably his best effort in the field for Titans thus far.
Umair - 6.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
Bowled cheaply...was his way of thanking us all for promoting him into the Top 5. Fielding was good and he was in it to win it.
Atif - 3.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 0 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Bad technique led to another marginally bad decision given by umpire...bad reaction AGAIN...he needs to learn to COOL DOWN. Fielding was good. Bowling was off target. We need more from such a talented player.
Bala - 5.5 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, n/a bowling, 3.0 discretionary)
Lost his wicket too suddenly AGAIN. Fielding was good. Loses full discretionary point for not sticking on a bit longer in the middle as was needed...AGAIN.
Rakesh - 5.0 (0 batting, 2.5 fielding, 1.5 bowling, 1.0 discretionary)
Bowled playing back to an off-spinner on a suspect track...enough said. Looked sharp in the field. Bowling was starting to shape up a bit. He looked rusty and needs to practice badly over the next two weeks.
Akhil V. - 9.0 (2.5 batting, 2.5 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
Coming not out...is a thing I'd like to see our youth do more off when batting. He looked good in the field and seemed prepared to give me a bowling option if needed.
Dilly - 7.0 (0 batting, 3.0 fielding, n/a bowling, 4.0 discretionary)
His fielding was on a different level with a great catch at deep square leg. Batting was a disappointment though. He seems like a fearless/ hustle fielder and I like that.
Walt...great job on the BBQ...we hope your skills there will translate on the field one day soon.
Uvin & Gowtham great job with the scoring and team support!
Coach - You are our lucky charm...with you on the sidelines anything becomes possible.
Enough character games...let's look to be clinical and professional from here on in...frankly I prefer that.
43-0 & undefeated...yet still we continue to not play up to our potential.
Next game is in two weeks versus Lauderhill Jammers at our home ground.
