Hustlers beat Starlite by 5 wickets

The Hustlers team beat a potentially slippery banana Starlite team in Round 5 yesterday.

Having lost the toss, Hustlers fielded first on a sweltering hot afternoon as the players got another shade darker than they already were under the hot sun.

The Yaad boys taking a few

Mohan started off the bowling well with his partner in crime Amar bowling superbly well together. They managed to get rid of the opener and then the Situationlist specialist batsman Ravi took care of 2 wickets.

Retesh and Sanjeev bowled magnificently in the middle overs with Retesh claiming a hat trick to finish with match figures of 4 for 28 off his 5. Sanjeev 1 for 20, Ravi 2 for 28, and Amar 2 for 28 were the other wicket takers as Starlite were bowled out for 103 in the 22nd over. Richard and S Sarran were the only batsman of note for Starlite with 35 and 27 scores respectively.

Mr Situationist, Devya, and Retesh 4 for 28 (hat tick)

Hustlers went to bat and lost John early once again with 28 on the board. Ravi went at 59 for 2, followed by Chris for 42. With the score at 74 for 3 at the break the Hustler team reached the winning total with Mike 16 not out and Sanjeev 15 not out in the 16th over seeing their team home with no other major scares.

It was once again another professional performance by the Hustler team as they now make it 4 wins in a row. With 2 weeks break now due to the Florida Cup and Phagwah festivities, the Hustler team can rest up and look forward to the second half of the season with good performances under their belt in the first half.

Young Hustlers

We would like to thank you all our spectators who came to watch, Lucky City for the food, and the local store for once again supplying enough liquid refreshments for the exceptionally thirsty Hustlers. Starlite, as usual were a great ambassador for the SFSCL as they played tough but fair all the way to the end and it was also good to catch up with some of my ex team mates, Morris, Buddy, Butts, Uncle Singh, Richard and Narine for a drink after the game.
