Yaadboyz beat Krishnar CC by 7 wickets in round 8

The day started off like a typical summers day in London unlike a normal blazing hot day in South Florida with heavy clouds and rain in the air meaning winning the toss was a must to dictate the game plan and not allow the rain to interrupt the outcome.

Our cooler struggling to hold everything down.

Yaadboyz duly won the toss and had no hesitation in sending in Krishnar to bat first on a damp batting wicket which in turn proved to be a masterstroke. Terry 5 wickets and Retesh 4 wickets were the chief destroyers as they used the slippery conditions to their advantage. The Krishnar batsmen had no answer how to survive let alone score runs quickly as they were dismissed for a low 57 all out in 14 overs.

The Yaadboyz batsmen took just 7.2 overs to reach their target with only 3 batsmen out as they finished the game before 3 o'clock meaning the celebration and customary drink up started early for all.

Next sunday the Yaadboyz have no scheduled game due to 4 of their squad heading off to Guyana to play in the Guyana Cup. We wish them well but they also must be reminded the main purpose of the trip is to compete in the competition and not to go awol bar hopping. Historically going by past trips to Guyana this seems an impossible task though.

Good luck guys and try to stay sober.......

Yaadboyz lose to Lehigh CC in Round 7 by 2 wickets

Yaadboyz lost their first game of the season to Lehigh CC in a close encounter played at Veterans Park, Lehigh last sunday.

Having lost the toss and put into bat, the Yaadboyz openers scored at a slow rate early on and were only at 54 for 1 at the 13th over break with the Lehigh bowlers on top. Another 95 runs were scored in the next 12 to amass a score of 149 for 9 in 25 overs. Key contributors for Yaadboyz were Johnno 29, Cliff 28, Basil 21, and Altaf 17.

Veterans Park Lehigh

With only 149 on the board, Lehigh knew they would have to bat sensibly against the Yaadboyz bowling attack to win the game. They lost both openers to loose shots and with wickets tumbling at a regular rate, their only chance of winning was with their skipper Raj who batted with total control at his end.

Even with the winning total fast approaching, the Lehigh batsmen still managed to get out but as long as Raj was at the crease he knew they would win. It was a fitting moment that Raj hit the winning boundary with 8 men out to finish on 51 not out to see his team home for the win and 6 points.

Top bowlers for the Yaadboyz were Terry with 3wickets and Ravi 2 wickets.

It was a tough loss to take but congratulations to Lehigh for their win and for hosting us as they were the better side on the day.

It was another enjoyable roadtrip for the Yaadboyz as drinks flowed all the way home with very few spillages in the rented 15 seater. Special thanks go out to our very own hard working manager Derek for his planning, collection, and returning of the vehicle. Cheers Derek for a great job making our journey as easy as possible.

Our next game is against Krishnar CC being played at the Yard this coming sunday in round 8 when we hope to get back to winning ways.

  Word around the SFSCL scene says a few upsets happened this past sunday.
  Just because 2 out of the first 3 teams lost it does not always mean an upset happened. Credit must be given to Lehigh CC and Starlite cricket teams for their well deserved wins as on any given day any team can beat anybody in the Division.

Yaadboyz beat Starlite by 7 wickets

The Yaadboyz CC managed another 7 wicket win against Starlite CC this past sunday in round 6 of the SFSCL.

A Yaadboyz bucket of beer....Note the size

Having won the toss, Starlite decided to bat first at The Yard with only 7 players playing in their side. They started off well, scoring when required, and after a sluggish start they looked pretty good at 76 for 2 at the 13th over break.

Once the second part of their innings started they lost their remaining wickets all too quickly and were bowled all out for 117 as the Yaadboyz bowling attack continued to bowl impressively as a unit once again.

The Yaadboyz top bowler award this week went to Ravi with 3 wickets including the prized wicket of the dangerous Mack. Amar grabbed 2 of his own.

The  new pairing Yaadboyz openers of Johnno and Bayo didn't last long as Johnno was bowled in the first over. Bayo and yours truly, then saw Yaadboyz reach 92 for the next wicket before Bayo was out for a well  played 27. The random english guy was the only other batsmen out for a back into form innings of 61 before Retesh 12 not out and Amar 13 not out saw their team over the winning line by trying to out hit each other with monster sixes of their own.

The Yaadboyz celebrated well after the game with the Starlite team giving us good time catchups with Mack and Sunil. The liquids flowed freely as per usual and after everything dried up, the Yaadboyz headed off to Hibiscus to top up on some more beverages.

Once again it was a job well done on the field and more importantly, a better job done off the field socially. Thanks go out to Hibiscus for the food provided on the day and also Satti for her expertise in scoring the book for us.

Next week we are off to Lehigh again when we face Lehigh CC in round 7.
