Yaadboyz CC beat Lehigh Indians by 7 wickets Round 4

The road trip to Lehigh was again another journey full of fun from start to finish and more importantly another victory for the Yaadboyz CC in round 4.

The pre planned setoff time from Hibiscus was scheduled for 9am sunday morning but after heavy partying from all of the senior players from the Yaadboyz team the night before, the 15 seater setoff a little later than anticipated. Let's just say 10 20am was the about the correct departure time with some players arriving looking like they had drunk enough to last them a lifetime.

The funniest early morning sight even before we had setoff was watching certain thirsty players trying to manoeuvre their enormous triple story come dinner table family sofa cooler into the 15 seater. After a lot of planning, pushing and shoving  it sat itself nicely down on one of the primetime $20 front row seats for it's entire journey where it stayed happily until the journey end.

On the next trip we will all get one of these to make life easier for all concerned.

The game itself  was an easy victory for the Yaaadboyz as opening bowler Zaheer took out the first 5 Lehigh batsmen within his first 3 overs. He bowled superbly and claimed his first hat trick for his new team and was unlucky not to get a second hat rick which would of made history in the SFSCL. He infact claimed 5 wickets in 8 balls consecutively delivered. It was a dynamite opening spell from Zaheer who seems to get better every game he plays. The call went out of "Give him the nut cracker special" by one of his team mates later in the game which brought a smile to the Yaadboyz fielders faces and maybe a tear or two for the unlucky batsmen.......

Lehigh ended their innings after 25 overs with a score of 103.

When the Yaadboyz openers John and Cliff went to bat they knew a solid start was required in their own run chase. The time Cliff 37 was out the game was all but done and dusted as they reached the 103 score within 15 overs. It was a great team effort by all the Yaadboyz with solid contributions coming from Bayo, Retesh and Amar with the ball collectively.

After a few celebratory drinks and sampling  of the local cuisine hosted by the Lehigh team, we headed back to Ft Lauderdale with the hangover specialists sleeping off their 2 day headaches in the comforts of the 15 seater.

Once back in town the few die hard thirsty ones still standing headed into Hibiscus to drink a few more before wandering off into the darkness trying to remember where they lived and catch their beds.

All in all it was a successful trip for us with a win and the 6 points on offer as we now take full advantage of the next 7 days to recover and get ready for Florida Lightning at the Yard in round 5 next sunday.

Highlights and lowlights of the day.
