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.....
