Yaadboyz CC beat Florida Lightning in Rd 2

With all the friendly banter flying around building up to this game between a few Lightning and Yaadboyz players during the week, the Yaadboyz knew facing Florida Lightning after their own 1st round loss was not going to be an easy fixture for them in Rd 2.

The Yaadboyz won the toss and asked the Lightning to take first hit at the Yard that looked surprisingly dry from the early morning rain. Liquids being absorbed at the Yard with no dramas is normality thesedays hence the dry outfield, I guess !!!!

As the watching spectators settled into seats to watch the game, they soon saw the Lightning openers getting off to a sluggish and slow start courtesy of a fine opening bowling spell from both Rudy and Slim. With runs being scarce to accumalate, the Lightning batsmen started to take risks and lost 3 quick wickets with the best one being Dillion's superb run out of top batsman Tarik. Not only did Tarik chance a risky second run to the youngest Yaadboy on the field, but he was not even in the frame as he was run out by a country mile.

With runs coming slowly in the middle overs and the run rate only marginally increasing the Lightning totalled 161 in their alloted 25 overs. Terry (4 for 38) and Slim (2 for 24) were the best bowlers for the Yaadboyz. The only batsman of note for the Lightning was a patient 56 from opener Jay.

The Yaadboyz opening pair of Johnno and Rocky set about the 161 score at an alarming rate with Rocky being the aggressor with boundaries disappearing to all parts of the Yard off his bat. Johnno was simply giving the strike to Rocky as every bowler the Lightning brought on took some serious tap as he raced to a quickfire 118 all within 11 overs as the run chase ended in style with a reverse sweep for four all before the 13th over break.

Sheer carnage was witnessed by everybody at the Yard as Rocky took on everything the Lightning bowlers threw at him.They just never expected to see their best balls vanish way into the sunset without any trace of finding them again.

An early finish meant only one thing for the Yaadboyz.........a longer drink.

It was good to share a story and a drink with the Lightning players after the game was over and we wish them all well for the remainder of the season.

Next week the Yaadboyz take on Warriors CC at Tamarac Rec in Rd 3.

Florida Lightning 160 for 9 in 25 overs
Yaadboyz 161 for 0 in 11 overs.

Terry 4 for 38
Slim 2 for 24
Rocky 118 no
Johnno 36 no

Yaadboyz beat Guyana Heat by 5 wickets Rd 1

The Fall 2016 season started with Yaadboyz CC meeting the much under rated Guyana Heat team in Round 1 of the SFSCL.

Not only had the Yaadboyz strengthened up their roster pre season but the Heat also picked up a few dangerous players of their own in the off season too.
The game started with the Yaadboyz winning the toss and asking the Heat to bat first in sweltering conditions with temperatures reaching high BBQ levels.

Immediately the Heat father and son opening duo of Denny and Devanand feasted on some ordinary bowling upfront as they got off to a flying start. With runs being scored freely the Yaadboyz players sensed early on that a big run chase would be required batting second. At the break the Guyana  Heat score totalled an impressive 132 for 1wicket lost.

Mukesh and Terry bowled pulled the game back for the Yaadboyz in the second half of the innings as they combined to take 6 wickets between them and only giving away 51 runs in their 10 overs in total. The rest of the 15 overs by the other bowlers went for 180 runs plus.

The total posted by Guyana Heat was 236 all out in 25 overs.

Plenty of wood dished out by both teams on sunday with 476 runs scored in 49 overs.

The Yaadboyz started off the run chase with 21 in the first 2 overs before Rocky (12) was bowled just before the heavens opened up and a torrential downpour ensued. With everybody running for shelter and lightning striking to all corners of the playing field the game looked in favour of a Heat win.
A break of around 30 minutes was allowed for the rain to subside a little  agreed by both team captains but the Guyana Heat players were very eager to carry on playing being that chasing down a score of 236 in wet conditions was not going to be an easy feat for the Yaadboyz batsmen.

Things took a drastic change as Ricky took a liking to all the Heat bowlers. Sixes rained down all over the yard as he raced to 91 runs by the 13th over break with the Yaadboyz total at a destructive 144 for 1.

The Heat players didn't know what had just happened with all the carnage going on but for them to win the game now they had to play out the full 25 overs to constitute a win and hope the Yaadboyz batsmen fell short. Shortly after the resumption of the break Rocky completed his magnificent century with another long 6 deep over the mid wicket boundary. He was eventually out for a rapid 114.

John (24), Mukesh (0), and Basil (6), fell quickly in the middle overs but with Ravi (31no) at one end joined by the Brit (17no) at the other, the target was reached at the end of the 23rd over for the loss of 5 wickets even though a couple of attempted fails at some desperate "MANKADs" were thrown in at the end of the innings by a Guyana Heat bowler to break up the partnership. (SPIRIT OF THE GAME = FAIL FOR TWO ATTEMPTED MANKAD'S BY GUYANA HEAT).

To witness an innings that contained power, skill, and great shot selection at the Yard in conditions not favouring batting, Ricky showed everybody batmanship at it's very best and hopefully we all look forward to more innings in the same vane from him before the season is over.

Next week the Yaadboyz play the Florida Lightning at The Yard in Round 2.
