[aklemalp]

Edge of the seat stuff...

[aklemalp]

[SportingBD]

Sporting Bengal won by 3 runs

Can't believe it wooooow

[SportingBD]

Sporting Bengal 162/10

That was a bloody thriller. My God.
What a fight by the bowlers. Crazy.

When they bowled out Sporting Bengal for 162.

I didn't also. Top bowling conditions.

[aklemalp]

After I saw Schwerdt put, I knew we didn't have a chance. He's the only one who can stick in and bat..the rest of them can't handle the pressure. .and I know the quality of your bowlers. .that's why I made that assumption

[SportingBD]

Yeah man, Timothy Picker is a legend of my club, has won many matches.

Matheson is soo deadly when he finds swing. I'm surprised with Shaylen Dale, only 20 years old.

He has great technique, bowls good line and length and his Yorkers are pretty good.

Quereshi as always, you expect him to carry out his normal job.

Weaklink is Sarovich.

[SportingBD]

After nearly three week break, Sporting Bengal face Halogens in a friendly match.

Martin has called tails and lost the toss. Pictet ponders for a moment before deciding to bat first. Sporting Bengal will start their innings shortly.

Expecting a high scoring game!

[aklemalp]

300-plus to chase.

Don't know how my batsmen will approach it...haven't been setting up the orders lately. ..

My primary focus is the development of the youths

[SportingBD]

You have a strong team today. The top 6 are gun batsman for Halogens.

308 shouldn't be hard to chase, but than again, my bowlers surprise at times.

[aklemalp]

100 partnership up for the opening pair.

The run rate is healthy too...there can still be a collapse.

[aklemalp]

That was an emphatic win by the boys.

This batting order might be something to use in the new season. Love the way Rinaldi and Pathan reconstructed the innings after the minor hiccup.

Great game.

[SportingBD]

Those two took the game away from us - amazing batting!
That batting line-up looks solid.

I just had a feeling whatever my team posted with that lineup it was chaseable.

Impressed with young Sneedon, future All-Rounder for Sporting.
Picked up wicket of two class batsman.

[aklemalp]

Schwerdt and skipper Martin are building a good partnership here


Bat on boys

[aklemalp]

Finished on 360/7

Ned Rinaldi powers us over 300

Early on good century from Schwerdt. Half century from Martin

[aklemalp]

My youths got soundly trashed by a spirited Sporting Bengal team in the friendly yesterday.


A low scoring match it was.

[SportingBD]

That was a surprising win. Sporting Bengal was the underdog here.

Happy for the team, but I still think, my youth team is rubbish.

[aklemalp]

I forgot to set the orders for that match

[aklemalp]

I'm kinda hyped up for this youth contest between the two teams.

I'm excited to see how my team in rebuilding phase plays.

Quite a new captain in Gessner, along with his opening parter Kimmorley. The middle order looks strong with Phillip, Jirongo, wa kaloki, and wk-batsman Rashid.

Martin will be leading the bowling attack, with support from Bonito, and Auld... the new bowlers in the team are Poon and de Jager.

Hope for a competitive game

Hope you are up for it SportingBD

[SportingBD]

Good luck to Halogens. Strange decision to bat on a green wicket with cloudy condition.

Won't be able to follow it much.. but will try to stick around.

[aklemalp]

I decided to bat first to test these two young openers. Both of them have skills as openers..so I wanted to see how they can pull fare

[SportingBD]

You have some solid players mn. Your captain is only 16 and has rating of 28-k, damn.
