Crouch takes Wulfs to Salughter!

A brilliant performance from TT Lions allrounder Ryan Crouch saw the visitors trump home favourites Old Wulfs by 8 wickets here at Old Wulfs CG. Ryan Couch took 4/33 in 8.4 overs as Old Wulfs lost their last 7 wickets for 12 runs in 5 overs in a mammoth collapse to end up with 189 on the board. He then stroked an unbeaten 59 off 73 balls with 5 boundries and two big ones to guide the team home with just over 10 overs to spare. Other top performers were Runako Atkinson who picked up 3/46 off 9 overs, and Mohammed Delop who carved a cool and unbeaten 79 off 119 deliveries, with only 5 fours and a lone six. Youngster Karl Deane bowled impressively for his 1/37 in 10 overs, while Gamble made a strong voice for selection, conceding only 31 runs and picking up a wicket in his ten overs, with 3 maidens. Carlton Drayton returned similar figures off his 10 overs.

Early on the Wulfs got off to a good start, Wilkinson and Villiers putting up 64 for the first wicket on a seaming track. Lee scored a painful 24, while Purse played a fine innings off 44 with four boundaries. Haughton hammered a quick 22 off 28 as well, but rest of the lineup crumbled, no batsmen scoring more than 1 single run, two ducks included.

In reply, the TT Lions lost an early wicket, Otto knocking off Cox's offstump after being smashed for a boundary. Greenwood batted beautifuly for his 36(42, 5*4) in an 82 run partnership with Delop which set them up in a good position. Crouch and Delop then took the team home. Otto and Mcclen were the only wicket takers, while Fieldwick bowled well too, concieving only 20 runs off 8 overs.
The Man Of the match award went to Ryan Crouch

Up next- Stats, and a brief interview with Zorax Doom :cool: Stay tuned!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Now, its the time you all love......Stats!


First off:

Scorecard:

Attendance was quite poor...what do you expect in a friendly?
Attendance:

It looked like a really close match was on the cards. It was a fun match nonetheless though. Ryan Crouch proved to be the difference between the two teams.

And, my finances. Remember, I am yet to play my weekly match, so the profits will perk up a little more...

Up next, a short interview with the manager

 

[ZoraxDoom]

The PC Interview team caught up with Zorax Doom after TT Lions thrilling win:

PC: So, how does it feel to win against a team like the Old Wulfs?
ZD: It feels great. We bowled very well, especially Crouch. Did a good job at the end of the innings. He could be bowling at that stage of the match more often now He also batted well. Delop showed us again how he has got that 100 runs per innings average. Great job overall.
PC: Gamble really did well today. Any plans to make him a permanant fixture in the team again?
ZD: Well its tough. Leo didn't get to play, was rested, so I can't really compare. but he did bowl well, kept the runs down at a crucial stage, very good job. I might play them both in the next match, you never know.
PC: How about batting wise. Bryant did a good job behind the stumps, will he feature more?
ZD: He is a good youngster, yes, but I doubt he'll play too many more matches. We'll just have to see. As of now, he remains our backup wickie, but if someone better happens to come, his place would be risky.
PC: Thanks for spairing some time for us.
ZD: No problem.

Experiments likely, says Doom
"Different ideas will be tried out"

-Lion Stands

A former player for Derbyshire, He is the manager of the up and coming West Indian team, the TT Lions. Our report team caught up with him for a quick interview:

PC:Good afternoon Mr. Doom.
ZD: Good afternoon.
PC: So, your team is looking good for promotion, however you still have a long way to go this season. Any comments?
ZD: Well yea, our team does look good. However we are still missing a few crucial componenets, like a spinner. We also don't bat very deep, will hope to recruit a few ne good batsmen.
PC: What will you be exactly looking for in a player?
ZD: Well, in my ideal squad, I amhoping to finad a pair of good keeper-batsmen, another alrounder similar to Crouch, expcept that he bowls spin, and an good 4th seamer-currently being fought between Leo and Chris-and a good spinner too.
PC: Speaking of Leo and Gamble, who will it be?
ZD: Well we will be trying out a few things in the next few matches, they both will get equal chances, but the final choice between them two will come in our match against Lucian Magama. We will also be experimenting with bowling and batting orders.
PC: Any sackings on your mind?
ZD: Well a few players will be fighting for a definate spot in the team, with a lot of good youth players coming up, but I do have a couple in mind...
PC: Hehehe, well they don't call you Mr. Doom for nothing don't they?
ZD: No they don't! *chuckles* But I feel change is good for a team, and feel the changes will only help this team.
