Well it was a great weekend for cricket. It started of quite cold on Saturday but it heated up with the action. We saw great bowling and occasional streaks of good batting. We saw the Taipei Cricket Association take their sole win off the Taiwan Indian Cricket Club and we saw TSCC pick up their first two of three wins on the weekend.
Sunday saw the final two games of the round robin portion of the tourney as well as the final match. TSCC faced FCC in two consecutive matches. In the first of the two matches there was quite a bit of success. Recent newcomer Kyle Mullaney, a stinkin’ yankee, manged to knock a well bowled ball from Henry Nothnagel to the boundry for four. A bloody bad memory for Henry who went on to secure the title of the tourney’s best bowler. The team was carried by the late arrival Mike Maslin. TSCC managed to swamp the giants from the north, FCC, in the first match.
Well the second match of the day seemed to be nearly the opposite. TSCC had a hard start with only 14 runs in the first four overs. Then they manged to put the peices in place and started scoring. In the end they manged to break the 120 mark with excellenct batsmenship from Will Stowers, Mike Maslin, and Jared Painter. Some where in there Andrew Carrick manged to keep in scoring drive, from the prior day alive, unfortunately the drived quickly coded and no shock paddles could revive it.
The bowling however was quite another thing to behold. Can’t quite blame them completely thought. FCC opened with their always tough to beat partnership of Charl Esterhuizen and Paul Turner. It was indeed the surprising appearance of Charl, who the day prior was laid up on his death bed unable to make an appearance, who bated them to victory. The partnership managed 50 runs in the first five overs. TSCC applied a tourniquet to the gushing wound. While it stymied the flow for a time it would not last. By the twelfth over the match was all but over even with the Turner-Esterhuizen partnership broken. FCC managed to retire TSCC on 126 runs with three overs to go.

Sure do some historical ones under history. I will be adding them when I can get them. Adding those from this past weekend would be a great idea. Let me see about it.
