Match Report - 3rd February 2023
Lamma Islanders vs HKCC Qi Lin
On a warm afternoon at GDB things were looking grim with most of the opposition at the ground and only 4 Lammas at 12.30pm.
The toss was done with HKCC winning the toss and electing to field.
Batting lineups were changed right up to start time waiting for various top order batters arriving.
Nitesh and Mary were chosen to open. Things started slowly with first 5 overs and 15 on the scoreboard. Unfortunately the match was to swing away from Lamma. Nitesh out first for 7 off 21 balls caught by usual Lamma player Bobby Chan for 7. 18-1. Next to go was Mary Henderson for 2 out caught. 28-2, Promodh was playing with a new bat smacked a boundary leg side, first for Lamma, but he hit one down the ground to be caught at mid off for 6. Changing bats has not helped Promodh in previous games today another. Lamma 29-3 in trouble. Ricky off his 50 last Sunday was lining up for a big day but alas caught a duck today same way as Promodh out caught at mid off. Lamma sinking 29-4. Dheeraj and Riggers steadied the ship to drinks. Dheeraj retired for 30.
77-4 at drinks Lamma recovering a little, long way to go. Royce and Riggers only lasted 3 balls Riggers out stumped tried to swing at a moon ball delivery for 17. Lamma back in trouble 82-5.
Royce and Vineet worked hard with 10 boundaries in their 61 run partnership getting Lamma 143-6, Royce bowled for 27. Pradeep to a door approach swinging wildly for 3 balls and was then bowled. Pradeep quacking back to the tent line. Lamma 143-7 struggling.
Vineet retired in the 28th over with a fine 32 running 3 on retirement. Subash was run out for 2, 167-8, Ria Martins batted well against tough bowling before being run out for 9. 187-9.
Dheeraj finally bowled 34.1 overs Lamma all out 187.
Defendable score but tough game ahead.
Riggers and Subash opened, and after 7 overs no wickets with 34 runs on the board.
Vineet changed for Subash but HKCC were on a charge. Royce going for runs after two overs was changed for Ria Martins who applied the scoring brakes.
79-0 after 14 overs we needed a change.
Riggers had a miserly 5 overs 0-21, Vineet 5 overs 0-28, wickets were not coming however.
At drinks 92-0 Pamma shipwrecked but still fighting.
19 th over saw Ria get the first wicket, Nitesh bowling with her. Ria finishing with 1-29 off 5 overs excellent debut.
Mary and Pradeep had an over each after 25 overs HKCC 152-1, needing 36 off 10 overs. Ricky and Royce tried to pull it back but the loss was getting closer. 14 needed off 30 deliveries was going to be too hard finally despite the efforts of Subash HKCC won in the 31 st over. Subash 4.1 overs 0-19 was very good.
In the field Dheeraj tried hard keeping, Promodh encouraging, Pradeep giving his all. It was a tough game.

What we did well?
- We never gave up, we kept fighting to the end.
- Middle order bats did well.
- Our debutant made an excellent impression.
- Extras only 16!
- Top order bats got out early and in succession. Good bowlers respect them keep the ball on the ground.
- Lower order bats keep an end and we must bat 35 overs.
- Had we scored 220 today we should have won.
- We could not get wickets, our bowling lines need some work.
- Fielding was average and we all can do better there.
