Round 3 of the cricket season and all 3 BK teams were stunned into disbelief with the worst start to a season on record........ a total of 6 games across the 3 teams and we remained winless!!! The elite of BK Durians had something to prove!
[cue cheesy chariots of fire music]
We met under the dodgy lamplight outside the cage and swore our oaths to break the losing streak..... with words of "just get the basic stuff right...and don't get out!" we pledged our allegiance to the cause. The game was against Bloomberg, the setting...... cage 3
We won the toss and elected to bat, and in the style of a true leader Lalith and Chris led the charge scoring 43 of the first pair, rising to the challenge, Jorgo and Tim also managed 43 despite Jorgo getting bowled first ball, and rounding up an amazing batting effort with some beautiful running between the stumps - Patrick and Rod finished the innings with an inspirational 35..... Total score 121
The depression on the side of Bloomberg was palpable from the first over of their batting where Jorgo, and then Tim each took 2 wickets during their overs, leaving Bloomberg with the almost impossible task of recovering (after the first pair) from a score of 9. Aside from a short spurt by the last pair, Bloomberg never really looked like being much of a challenge with a grand total score of 60.
Our Fielding - inspirational, Our bowling - magnanimous, Our batting - Spectacular! Lalith's captaincy - forgettable! BK Durians finally figured out effective batting pairs, and produced a performance worth writing home about........ and finally, got the win their confidence sorely needed......
