10-man YAARS TIGERS - followed up their Blagdon 6-a-side victory with a devastational display of cricket at Ulgham…..
The DON ‘Catley and Rowlands CA were left stunned
YAARS started with 9 men, as Roamy F1 Iqbal had broken down in a farmers field - and would arrive after 3 overs…….
Balal Haider is still looking for the ground - Marc ‘LET DOWN’ Chootah (his lass has put her foot down)………
Jackie Hashim was cleaning windows - Bug’s Tubelight had starter problems and Beefy is still checking the bus timetables.
YAARS had Professional, Record Breaker 267 Rehan Mohammed resting, with Omar Ahmed on babysitting duties….
Surj Singh was unavailable due to his daughters birthday - he was making the Jelly and Custard……….on the whole…..
YAARS turned up to tackle the DON!!!!
Batted first Rowlands started off slowly - with Newcastle CC cricketers, pushing the run rate along -
Naveed DC bowled one of his ‘Shoaib Akthar’ inswinging to knock over middle stump with Rowlands at 25 for 1,
Davidson arrived at the wicket and started to pile on the runs - Billy Ahmed to a skyer at long on to slow the run rate down…
Please note: YAARS bowling attached included Naveed DC, Zayn Ahmed, Bilal Ahmed, Roamy Iqbal, Basit Alvi and Bilal Mirza………
Strike premier bowlers Marc, Hajji, Bilal Haider, Rehan and Surj were missing otherwise it could have been 276 for 5…..
Then Bilal Mirza bowled Johnson with a slow off cutter knocking his pegs ooooot……………….Rowland 95 for 3 off 9 overs….
All the young bowlers bowled well in difficult conditions - the ‘boys’ fielded like tigers - except for DC Durpook who bottled a straight one down his throat.
(what a Murgaha!!!)…..Basit Alvi was warned for bolwing too fast - dangerous bowling - as he was unable to grip the ball, (Alvi has the same trouble)
Basit tried a couple of Shane Warn sliders (which went a little off the radar), Ritchie (umpire) gave him a second warning and then asked for him to be taken off
………for dangerous / reckless bowling….
The big lad from St Georges Rovers (not off Corination Street) went ballistic and smashed Basit / Roamy / DC all oooowa….
6’s over extra cover n all sorts……………….Rowland finished with a massive 176 for 5……….in 14 overs…..
YAARS weren’t beaten - a stern team talk from acting captain, Rolly Ahmed - asked his ‘boys’ to play positive - get in!!!!
Alvi and Zayn opened - first ball - Alvi beaten outside off stump, all ends up - second ball………..straight ball length and middle stump cartwheels out the deck.
Alvi plays a cross batted slog, totally missed a straight ball - and is dismissed - looking rather dopey and sheepish - he departs back to the pavilion (ashamed by his antics)
Big Billy EEEh Ahmed joins his son Zayn at the wicket - first ball playing a lovely off drive for two, then an on drive for four followed by a cover drive for 4 -
YAARS up the run rate and are 32 for 1 off 3 overs - Zayn goes for a lofted drive and is caught at extra cover…………
DC enters the arena to smash a couple of four a six and then plays on………… 43 for 3, after 5 over’s - YAARS look in trouble…..
Bilal Ahmed joins Billy Ahmed (the ‘B Ahmed’ Attack) - and the rest as they say is history………….the ball was smashed to all parts of the ground by
Billy Eeeeh Ahmed who took on all bowlers - Ritch, Davidson, John Lever left armer and the DON, who dropped Billy Ahmed on 84,
Billy took 19 of one over with 4 late cuts and to rub salt into the wounds Bilal hit Don for 4 then a massive 6 in his next over….
The next over from lever went for 26 off John Lever - and reached his 100 - the YAARS reached their target in 12.1overs …………
What a win!!!!! What a game under very wet conditions……………………Don was obviously desperate to get the game played, as Rowlands needed the points.
The Ulgham groundsman wasn’t too happy at the end of the game………but not as unhappy as the DON!!!!
Billy Ahmed 110no - is the NEW NE MIDWEEK LEAGUE RECORD HOLDER for 2010….
