Nashville Cricket CLub(NCC) had a new captain today, Zaheer lost the toss correctly and  Memphis Cricket Association (MCA) decided to bat.

Zaheer and Naseer started the proceedings and kept MCA pegged. Naseer almost got the break through, but i think the umpire forgot the LBW rule. Zaheer and Naseer bowled with great control and they really put their cricketing mind well when they bowls.

I came as first change but didn’t do well in my first spell. Alam came next, and was unlucky to get a wicket but bowled beautifully and got rid of MCC Captain with Ryan taking a spectacular catch at square leg.

Ashan bowled with his usual thunder and brilliantly bowled. Our fielding was great, but we gave 30+ extras (mostly wide). I took 2 wickets and missed hatrick on my 5th over as MCA was bowled out

Zaheer rotated his bowlers very well and kept MCA from scoring freely and wrapped them for measly 168 in 35 overs.
Alam and Naseer opened the innings for us, They had good partnership before Naseer got out, Neil followed. Alam started slowly but settled very quickly and scoreboard was ticking steadily. Alam got out, and it was me who followed – but before I could start playing my stroke freely. I was bowled (I know …double minded shot).

Sameer and Naseer built a good partnership keeping the field busy by scoring singles and doubles. Both played very sensibly with Zaheer holding one end and Sameer hitting the ball quite freely, 3 sixes and 5 fours were launched from the willow he wielded with exceptional panache , and ended up with 55 not out.

It feels refreshing to win in such convincing style, and addition of new members (Anant, Neil) to the team has given us the new wind we need to start.
