Yaadboyz CC lose to President CC in Rd 5

Travelling awayYaadboyz shared mini cooler for the day.
The Yaadboyz team headed off down south for their latest game against President CC in Rd 5.

Having won the toss, we had no hesitation in batting first on a beautiful hot day at Southridge Park in perfect conditions to drink many samples of cold ones at the right temperatures later on.

The Yaadboyz openers got off to a flying start facing two Allstars who opened the bowling for President of Samuel and Anil. British set after Samuel with consecutive boundaries and then followed up with the same against Anil in the next over. 
Sitting at 36 in 4 overs, British was first out for a swashbuckling 20 before he was deceived by a by Marky and was caught behind.

Wickets came and went with only the legendary Cliffy 21, the only other batsman to master the pitch and the accurate bowling of the President attack with an array of sweeping which we all known he is world famous for. Vikash once again showed great promise with the bat.

President got off to a quick start before Cliffy grabbed 2 to wickets. Ravi got 1 and wicket keeper Johnno his first ever league wicket of primetime lashman Azam.

The runs on the board were never going to be enough to defend but we still managed to get Gussy, Azam, Anil, and Samuel out before the President batsmen reached their target in the 18th over with our bowling attack made up of part timers and guys who rarely bowled an over in the SFSCL before.

We enjoyed the catchup with players from Outcast and the Florida Lightning who were playing on the pitch next door, and did our very best to have a drink with all of them. It was again another great day out for the Yaadboyz socializing with everybody and to never to change our sunday routine, we then ventured off to Hibiscus to help celebrate Skips birthday with players from present and past and down a few more liquids.

Win or lose, Div 1 or Div 2, our team will still be playing the game the way it is meant to be. No dramas, no tantrums, and most importantly, no soft drinks please........
