Captains Report
Lamma CC Islanders won the toss and batted first. Father/ Son combination Royce and Brenton put on a steady 59 for no loss before Royce was out bowled. Brenton retired not long after entering Farrukh and Nitesh who saw us to 104 when Nitesh holed out after a magnificent 6 the ball before. God joined Farrukh but Farrukh was out 3 runs later caught behind with the score at 107. 3 down now.
Suddenly Lamma folded like a tent wickets at 104 (Ricky 0), 109 (Vishal 0), 109 (Gauransh) things looked Grim now at 6 down. God steadied the ship and Rajesh kept his end for a few balls but finally out at 129 now for 7. Josh lasted a wide then out. 8 down for 130! Trouble for Lamma game slipping away. Brenton came back and a classy 50 partnership with God saw Lamma reach 188 -9 with Lamma all out.

Captains Report
Losing the toss we bowled. After a dramatic situation with only 6 players present at 12.50 a forfeit was imminent. Farrukh and Vineet advising they were late due to an accident and Browny arriving 1.40 pm the Captain was very nervous.
3 players suddenly arrived and we rushed out. First to bowl was Royce and Nitesh who kept the batsmen thinking. A few popped shots in the air nearly caught made it interesting times. Subash and Farrukh came on and Farrukh got the first wicket with Vishal taking a nice catch. One batsman retired and Nitesh replaced Vishal who was injured and instantly got a wicket bowled. 2-62 and Lamma back in the game.
God came on to bowl and he made an immediate impact with a bowled bring on drinks, 3-84 game balanced at 16.2 overs. After drinks Subash came back and sent the new batsman back without scoring. God and Subash bowling 4 overs after drinks - the opposition getting control. Matt Cole was held back by the Captain as they had a big hitter in play. No need says Matt Cole promptly bowling the big hitter, suddenly 5-126 Lamma now slightly ahead. Another retiree and Rajesh is on to bowl. Rajesh quickly gets an LBW with his late swing deliveries and Matt Cole chips in with another - God taking a juggling catch at Mid On - someone asked if God is with a Circus as a juggler as it took 5 juggles and a clutch to finally get the catch. Rajesh quickly cleaned up the tail and retired batsman in quick succession with a bowled, caught Vineet a great catch btw then another LBW to help dismiss Kai Tak for 149! 14 wides and 2 no balls kept extras low.
Time to bat.... Farrukh and Nitesh started well but a very good caught and bowled removed Farrukh early. Promodh entered and quickly got to 23 but was given out off the most faint appeals ever heard at cricket. God entered and was out for 7 and score at 3-70 Lamma was in front but anything can happen. It did.
Vineet entered with an array of shots, 4s and singles quickly up only to get out LBW for 28 strike rate 127 says it all. Browny too took control and got almost run a ball 23 not out only to see two batsmen going hard at it out cheap, Nitesh retiring for 30 off 62 deliveries but bringing a safety factor to Lamma. Matt Cole came in 1 off 14 to hold an end up as Browny finished off the game. Notables
