bowled for 0 runs, Patwal went on to score a quick and valuable 23 before being bowled by Hardy. Sandeep
and Barry scored some quick fire runs, Goel retired on 26 with Gigg Not Out with 21 propelling the
score to 94 with some fine cricketing strokes. Plahe scored 5 runs before playing the ball on to
his own stumps by Colin. Noman and Aran Sokhi were dismissed by LT Dinos quick pace bowler
"Gobby Mann" for 7 and 0 respectively. Konrad the "Prancing Pony" put on a show, scoring 14 runs before
an unfortunate bit of fielding by the opposition to take his catch. Singh scored a quick 4 off

Superstars began the attack with Singh and Anand skittling
the oppo opening batsmen taking 4 wickets between them in 6 overs for 16 runs. The pressure was
officially on for LT Dinos who forged a partnership but with no help from "The Pony" who pranced his way
to fine figures of 2 overs, for 6 runs, a wicket was deserved but a fine bowling effort left the
opposition desperate for runs. In to the attack came Noman and Spry, Norman returning to fine form
bowling 3 overs for 15 runs and a clean bowled wicket. Spry deserved a wicket but the batsman
evaded him with figures of 3 overs for 30 runs. With the opposition beginning to think they could
perform a miracle, Forman and Sokhi ignited the stumps with a wicket a piece, Forman with figures of 3
overs for 21 runs for 1 wicket, Sokhi with figures of 2 overs for 14 runs for 1 wicket. The opposition
required in excess of 40 runs from the final over, Plahe bowled 2 overs for 14 runs for no wicket. Superstars
won by 30 runs. |
