Div 2 Zone B Table

With 3, 4 or maybe even 5 games to go before the regular season ends, Hustlers 2 CC somehow still find themselves second in their zone after losing 3 games already this season.

With half their team on their way to Guyana this weekend for the Guyana Tournament, the league schedule has meant the game for Round 6 would still be played this coming sunday or rescheduled for a friday night at our expense. ( Good job by the league fixture sec once again !!!!).

I guess we will have to reschedule for a friday night being there is no bye week this season as per usual and hope the opposing team agree to an evening fixture. If not, then I guess we lose 6 points.

Hustlers lose to Miami Royals

Hustlers latest game in Round 4 resulted in a loss with all bowlers from both sides taking some serious tap in a high scoring game at The Yard.

Hustlers won the toss and elected to bat first in temperatures hitting somewhere near furnace degrees.
The Hustler openers scored at over 10 an over before Johnno was first out in the 5th over with the score at 53.

Hustlers went to the 13th over break sitting nicely at 100 for 2 and in a good position to score heavily in the second half. Skipper Basil contributed a swashbuckling 73 not out in the next 12 overs with Ravi scoring a more workmanlike 36 before he was out tired and drained looking for something cold to drink and by the look of things somewhere to take a nap as well. Hustlers skip Basil showed his class with an array of leg side shots effortlessly clipped over mid wicket for 5 maximums on his way to his highest score this season in his destructive undefeated innings of 73.

The final Hustler total was an impressive 224 for 5 off the 25 overs faced.

Miami Royals set off on their run chase with Altab batting aggresively and was soon finding the middle of his bat  regulary and soon passed 50 in quicktime. He was the dominant batsman for Miami in the first 13 overs as he helped his team to a superb 143 for the loss of only 3 Miami wickets. The Hustler bowlers tried to bowl flat, quickly and accurately but were no match for the dominating Altab as their bowling disappeared even quicker and more accurately over the boundaries every over all too often.

Altab reached an impressive and chanceless 105 before he was out as the Miami run chase ended with almost 2 overs to spare to get the win and the 6 points.

Miami deserved the win as they were the better side as all the Hustler bowlers all took some serious wood even though some of them still admit they bowled well. The Hustler bowlers gave up a combined total of 16 sixes and 15 fours when they bowled their 23 overs to go with 16 wides. A bad day at the office for the Hustler bowling attack was the most over used phrase after the game by them all.  Looking for excuses such as the bad pitch, the bowling run up, the ball, the sun, the food, the drinks couldn't save any of them from their limitless array of "hit me as far as you can" balls served up by the lacklustre Hustlers bowlers .( I guess they were at a different game from what I witnessed !!! ).

Congratulations to Miami for a well played win but bigger congratulations go out to our very own Hustler Devya for becoming the Divali Nagar 2014 Champion. Well done Devya for making us all proud of you for all the hard work you put in to accomplish your achievement. Good job.

Some Hustler players were last seen preparing the bowlers run up in the dark at the Yard while others were restocking the very small coolers.

Proud father Terry & Devya.

Hustlers 2 beat Diamond CC in Round 3

Anyone can guess the combined age of the players shown here?

Hustlers 2 CC met Diamond CC in round 3 of the SFSCL this past sunday and came away with a hard fought win.

Having bowled out the 10 man Diamond team for 138 within 25 overs after being 74 for 0 at one stage, the Hustler run chase stuttered in chasing down this below average score losing far too many wickets before getting the win with an over to spare.

The Hustlers bowling attack was led by the returning King who grabbed 5 wickets for 25 runs after his 3 season self imposed exile. The other notable bowling performance came from Terry who ended up with 2 wickets.

The Hustlers lengthy batting lineup could arguably be called the most experienced lineup in the entire Division but the way they collapsed upfront was cause for concern before skipper Basil and the returning exile King saw their team home with individual scores of 41 and 36 not out respectively to get the 6 points and win.

At the end of the game the usual futile banter and story telling continued as per norm late into the evening as the Hustler players enjoyed their hard fought victory. If they want to see out the final season of the year with a strong season then they better improve on their performances so far.

It was also good to see Lloyd at the game and looking strong again. Keep up the good work Lloyd as your recovery is going well by the looks of things as well as our very own Deo after his self imposed break from the game due to family commitments.

It was great catching up with the Hustler oldies returning back for a game which meant our average team player number went up another 5 years.....

Any Ideas ?

Listed below are the 2 respective Zones for the Divisions 2 teams for this Fall season.

Zone A and Zone B with 8 teams each.

Can someone explain to us how come we find ourselves topping the Zone B when 99% of the teams we are scheduled to play this season come from Zone A?

Any input or explanation from our followers would gladly clear our already confused heads......

Hustlers beat Wildfire

Hustlers 2 second league game of the season saw them beat Wildfire to gain a much needed win and 6 points in the SFSCL Div 2 fixture.

Ravi 66, John, 36, Basil 24, and Amar 16 were the chief woodchoppers when they batted as Hustlers reached 167 in their 25 overs faced.

In return Wildfire fell short of their run chase by 22 runs with Terry taking 3 wickets.

Next week Hustlers face Diamond cricket club at 19th street in week 3.
