Hustlers 2 met Berbice CC in round 5 of the SFSCL and took a real good old fashioned beating by one of the top sides in the Divsion.
Having put Berbice into bat first, the Hustler bowlers bowled well to start with but every over they served up a bad ball that was always punished by the Berbice batsmen.
Amar, Mohan, Sookraj, Ameer, Ravi and Terry all bowled well in most parts but couldn;t stop the aggresive Berbice batsmen as they posted a score of 238 in their 25 overs faced. Mikey took 2 very good catches in the field was the only highlight for Hustlers.
The run chase started and then Hustlers lost Chris early shortly followed by Basil, Ravi and Cliff but still went into the break at 82 for 4. After the break Mohan was out after hitting some lusty blows but the rest of the lower order batsmen didn't last too long as their innings finished with only 128 having faced just 18 overs.
The Berbice bowlers all bowled well and used their pitch the best as they went away with the 6 points and the win.
After a brief team meet after the game, the Hustlers players all had their say as they all knew they were totally outplayed in a game that promised a lot before it had started. The Hustler think tank will need to go and do a lot of soul searching and find the reason why they played so badly in a game they should have at least competed in. Many mistakes were made during the game and their performance will need to increase by 100% next week otherwise the remainder of the season will see more heartache for them all in which could turn out to be a very long season for them.
Next week Hustlers 2 are again at 199 against Warriors CC.
