Prestcold v Phoenix Cricket Club Phoenix on Sun 09 Aug 2015 at 2pm
Phoenix Cricket Club Won 19 runs

Match report Beat Prestcold by 19 runs. The sun was out and for once Sanj won the toss & elected to bat first. Was this a bad decision as something about playing against Prestcold always makes us under perform with the bat. So it wasn't a surprise when we were struggling at 50 for 5. We were in deep trouble but a superb maiden 50 by Hitesh got us to a score that we could defend, especially on a tough wicket to bat on. We ended up making 147 but disappointingly we were bowled out with 31 balls to spare. In a limited overs match its crucial to bat the overs and to not throw away your wickets. Hitesh & Sanj went in defensive mode and put on 20 for the last wicket and in terms of this game this was the winning margin which just proves the theory.

Mannu & Aman bowled with extreme discipline with only 29 runs going off their 16 overs. Mannu at one stage had bowled 6 overs for just the 2 runs conceded. Sakhil Sanjeev & Jay were amongst the wickets as they with Mannu took wickets at very crucial times.

Fielding was top draw once again with Baljit & Prince producing some great run outs when it seemed we were heading for defeat. Meher put his body on the line to stop the ball which was commendable in itself even though dangerous but Sethi Singh was truly inspired with 3 catches, one of which was a truly magnificent one handed over his shoulder wonder catch!!

Special mention for Vishal who was at his best in the car with his DJ skills and Jay with his Juggernaut ( Jug for his hundred last week and nought for his duck this week).

This was a tremendous win under pressure as the game ebbed & flowed until the very end. This victory was our 16th of the season breaking the most wins record of 15 from last season. Onwards & Upwards.

So lets rejoice in singing Louis Armstrong's 1938 American gospel hymn classic 'When the saints go marching in':

'We are travelling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we';; all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)

Oh when the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in'

Statistically the leading players this season are as follow:
Kully - 551 runs
