KUBEYRAN BAGS 6 AS STICKS BEAT MILLENNIUM CRICKET CLUB (MCC)

A spot on bowling performance by 17 year old Kubeyran Naidu helped Sticks get MCC all out for a paltry 38 runs. His bowling performance of 6 wickets for 11 runs in 4 overs has suddenly given the selectors a headache in naming the playing 11 for the upcoming inter-state games. There was only one notable scorer in the MCC side in Mohd. Waseem where he scored 15 runs not out while wickets fell around him. The other bowlers to be mentioned are Oney Rahman whom took 1 wicket for 8 runs in 3 overs and Megaguheen whom took 2 wickets and giving away only 5 runs in 1 over. Sticks Tigers got to the required target of 39 runs easily to finish the league stages of the competition being unbeaten in all of their 5 matches. Opening batsman, Shankar Goonasagaran played a steady role by hitting 21 runs not out with two fours in his brief innings. Sticks got to their target in 6.5 overs, winning comfortably by 8 wickets. Sticks finishes top of the table, with Penang Sports Club, Lumut Navy and Friends Cricket Club finishing second, third and fourth respectively. The semi finals will be between Sticks Tigers and Friends Cricket Club while Penang Sports Club take on Lumut Navy. Dates are to be confirmed. Stay tuned and do come and give the teams support for the semi finals and finals :)

Sticks Tigers roll over Penang Sports Club in top of the table clash

Date: 17 April 2011

Match: Penang Sports Club (PSC) vs Sticks Tigers at PSC

PSC batted first and started off cautiously on a good batting track prepared by the PSC groundstaff. The opening bowlers Kavintheran Kumar, with pace and bounce and Kubeyran Naidu, with swing and seam, probed at a steady line to both opening batsmen Darvin Muralitharan and Thomas Mathew. PSC managed an opening partnership of 76 before Kushan Asela affected an alert run out. Darvin was caught napping when he was on 38 and it was important breakthrough by Sticks Tigers. The fall of Darvin also was followed by the fall of Ramnik to a beautiful delivery by Kubeyran Naidu where a catch was held by wicketkeeper, Vinay Singh. That brought big hitter, Pavithren Nadaeson to the crease. Penang state skipper, Thomas Mathew welcomed back his form with some delicate shots through the off-side went for 35 and was caught behind similar to how Ramnik got out to another Kubeyran Naidu delivery. Pavithren upped the ante with 3 big sixes and it was desperately required at that stage in order to post a competitive total on the boards. Pavithren hit a brutal 31 off just 16 deliveries. P Sanmugaraja and Sanjaya Kumar provided some assistanceat the end of the innings with both men scoring 9 runs each. PSC ended the innings with 136 for 4 which looked like a competitive total. All the other Sticks bowlers, Shankar Goonasagaran(1-25 in 4 overs), Kushan Asela(0-25 in 4 overs) and Aaron Emmanuel (0-10 in 3 overs) provided good assistance with the ball to restrict PSC to that target.   

Sticks Tigers started off very defensively in the hunt of 137 for victory. They were 10 for no loss at the end of the third over. Keithan Goonasagaran showed his class with some good batsmanship after the cautious start to send the PSC bowlers to all parts with Vinay Singh providing some valuable support at the other end. Vinay Singh had to retire out due to some fatigue on his part but scored a good 30 runs before that. Keithan continued his form with the bat but was stopped short by a Pavithren Nadaeson quicker ball which trapped him LBW plumb in front. Keithan hit 8 fours and 1 big six in his innings of 68 runs. Kavintheran Kumar played a good hand to finish the game off with Kubeyran Naidu whom were unbeaten at 21 runs and 10 runs respectively. It was a clinical effort by the Sticks Tigers to chalk their name as the big boys in the league. Sticks Tigers are sitting pretty at the top of the table with PSC coming in second.

PSC: 136 for 4 off 20 overs. Darvin Muralitharan (38 runs off 37 balls), Thomas Mathew (35 runs off 47 balls), Pavithren Nadaeson (31 runs off 16 balls). Kubeyran Naidu (2-20 off 4 overs), Shankar Goonasagaran (1-25 off 4 overs)

Sticks Tigers: 137 for 2 off 18.4 overs. Keithan Goonsagaran (68 runs off 46 balls), Vinay Singh (30 runs off 40 balls), Kavintheran Kumar (21 runs not out off 19 balls). Pavithren Nadaeson (1-26 off 2.4 overs)

LUMUT NAVY & FRIENDS CRICKET CLUB BOTH WIN ONE GAME EACH

MATCH: FRIENDS CRICKET CLUB (FCC) VS LUMUT NAVY

DATE: 9^TH APRIL 2011

VENUE: PENANG SPORTS CLUB OVAL

FCC batted first on a beautiful sunny morning and had an early setback when they lost opener, Yasir Nazir when the total was on 6 which brought their gun batsman, Aamir Bhat to the crease. Aamir and Anis Khan provided some stability to the top order but Anis faltered to a Rudy Ismandy delivery where a catch was snapped up by Kamarul Afendi Ismail. The wicket of Shakeel Ahmad was soon to follow without troubling the scorers. The bowling of the Navy openers has to be acknowledged as Rudy Ismandy Haji Mansor and Nazirul Izuddin Abd. Halim kept the top order FCC batsmen thinking with figures of 1-11 in 3 overs and 2-15 in 3 overs respectively. At that stage, FCC were reeling at 24 for 3 and desperately needing a solid partnership from Aamir Bhat and Akbar Khan. The duo provided a good 35 runs partnership with Akbar Khan being the aggressor with one six over long on and three fours before being caught and bowled by Norzaifee Ismail. Aamir Bhat continued his run scoring for a while with some delicate late cuts but still lost wickets around him before he himself got out for a gritty 35 runs. Aziz Khan hit one lusty blow for six over deep mid-wicket in his innings of 13 runs off 18 balls. FCC were bowled out by a disciplined Navy bowling attack for 105 runs. All the Navy bowlers contributed with wickets with Norzaifee Ismail leading the pack with figures of 3-23, Nazirul Izuddin Abd. Halim (3-27) and Nai Pricha Soom Chock (2-18).

Navy came out to bat to a decent FCC pace attack needing 5.3 runs per over to win the game chasing 106 runs. FCC bowlers found their rhythm quickly and had the Lumut Navy batsmen on the back foot with three quick wickets. Navy were 9 for 3 with all the top three batsmen being bowled within 7 overs. Aziz Khan, Showkat Bhavani and Akbar Khan were the early wicket takers. Kamarul Rizal Hj Abd Rauf and Nazirul Izuddin Abd Halim had a good 24 runs partnership with Nazirul hitting 2 boundary fours in his innings of 18 runs off 13 balls before being bowled by Yasir Nazir. Navy lost wickets at regular intervals which stunted their chances of winning the game. However there was a big partnership by number 6 batsman, Kamarul Afendi Ismal and number 10 batsman, Adnan Yusof. The partnership was unbeaten at 42 runs. The two tried really hard to push the scoring rate up despite the loss of wickets and gave the run chase a good stab. The partnership almost secured victory for the Navy but instead they fell short by 4 runs of the FCC total. Kamarul Afendi Ismal finished with 21 runs not out and Adnan Yusof with 26 runs not out. Clearly, it was a day of the bowlers with Yasir Nazir picking up 4 wickets and Akbar Khan picking up 2 valuable wickets.

FCC: 105 all out in 18.3 overs, Aamir Bhat (35 runs), Akbar Khan (24 runs), Aziz Khan (13 runs); Norzaifee Ismail (3-23 off 4 overs), Nazirul Izuddin Abd Halim (3-27 off 4 overs), Nai Pricha Soom Chock (2-18 off 4 overs)

Navy: 101 for 8 in 20 overs, Adnan Yusof (26 runs not out), Kamarul Afendi Ismail (21 runs not out), Nazirul Izuddin Abd. Halim (18 runs); Yasir Nazir (4-26 off 4 overs), Akbar Khan (2-19)

RESULT: FCC WIN BY 4 RUNS

   

MATCH: MILENNIUM CRICKET CLUB (MCC) VS LUMUT NAVY

DATE: 10^TH APRIL 2011

VENUE: PENANG SPORTS CLUB OVAL

Captain of the MCC team, Joseph Santhana Dass called the right side of the coin as he put the Lumut Navy into bat with the outfield being wet from overnight rains. A must win game for both teams as both seek semi final spots as the group stages nears the end. Navy started cautiously with Kamarulrizal Hj Abd Rauf and Azikri Azmi having to run their runs hard due to the wet outfield. Mohd. Nadeem bowled Azikri Azmi with a beautiful delivery and Navy were 17 for 1 after 4 overs. Kamarulrizal went on to score 24 runs with the other batsmen ably providing support. Support came in the form of Nai Pricha Soom Chock whom scored 15 runs. Small partnerships were built by Navy. Rudy Ismandy Hj Mansor scored 15 runs, Kamarul Afendi Ismail scored 17 runs and Nazirul Izuddin Abd Halim being their quick run scorer in the team, scored 16 runs. Navy never really found momentum in their innings and this was due to a disciplined MCC bowling led by Sugumaran whom took 2 wickets for 21 runs in 4 overs and Raja Hussain Taking 2 wickets for 14 runs in 3 overs. Navy managed to still scored a good total of 121 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs.

MCC started off well with openers Mohd Nadeem and Mohd Farouk providing the team 20 runs before losing Mohd Nadeem for 14 runs trying to hit another boundary after managing to hit two fours in his brief innings before that. Purav Shah, one of the better batsman in the competition fell for 9 runs to a beautiful Norzaifee Zainal delivery which crept through between bat and pad which crashed into the woodwork. Norzaifee quickly got another wicket and then a mix-up between Sikander Kani and Mohd. Farouk caused a run out where Sikander Kani did not even face a ball. MCC at this stage were in a difficult position at 44 for 4 and never really recovered from that position. Nai Pricha Soom Chock and Norzaifee Zainal were the heroes of the Navy bowling with 3 wickets a piece. Other bowlers such as Adnan Yusof, Rudy Ismandi Hj Mansor and Nazirul Izuddin Abd Halim chipped in with economical spells and a wicket each. MCC was bowled out for 87 in 19 overs. Lumut Navy were ecstatic to have won the match as they knew the importance of the victory. MCC must beat giants, Sticks Tigers in order to remain in the tournament in their final group match.

RESULT: LUMUT NAVY WIN BY 34 RUNS

PCA 2011 T20 League Update: PSC chalks up another win

PSC GOES TO THE TOP OF PCA T20 WITH A COMFORTABLE WIN

PSC won the toss and elected to bat first. The openers Darvin Muralitharan and Thomas Mathew started off well by playing some nice shots before Thomas Mathew was bowled by a superb Nazirul Izzudin delivery which turned and clipped the top of off stump. Pavithren Nadaesan showed some resistance by making 11 runs of 20 balls before getting caught at short midwicket. Darvin kept the scoreboard moving by hitting the odd boundary and rotating the strike well. Shahul Hameed made a brisk 30 of 20 balls with two 4's and a six. Soon after Darvin was caught at slip after a splendid innings of 53 off 52 balls. Avtar Singh and P. Sanmugaraja finished the innings with 8 and 16 respectively which took the total to 133. Nazirul Izzudin was the peak of the bowlers picking up 2 wickets for 28.

The Navy were struggling right from the start with both the in swing bowlers Arjun Kumar and Darvin Muralitharan operating from both sides. Darvin caught and bowled Kamarul Affendy of a slower ball which worked perfectly on a track that looked good for the batsman. Rudy Ismandi was then bowled by Arjun Kumar the very next over with the score at 13. Nazirul Izzudin was in at 4 and was caught behind the very next ball. Arjun Kumar was on a hat-trick. Unfortunately he bowled a wide before bowling Hj Jamislan for 0. None of the top Navy batsman got pass double figures. Kamarul Rizal and Adnan Jusoh played some good shots before falling even before getting the score pass 50. Avtar Singh and Pavithren Nadaesan cleaned up the tail by picking up 3 wickets and 2 wickets respectively. The Navy were bowled out for 71 runs in just 13.4 overs.
PSC 133 for 5 of 20 overs. Darvin 53, Shahul 30, Nazirul Izzudin 2 for 28 and Chandra Segar 1 for 2 in one over.

PENANG SPORTS CLUB ( PSC) VS FRIENDS CRICKET CLUB (FCC) at PENANG FREE SCHOOL


PSC won the toss and rightfully elected to bat first. Openers Darvin and Thomas started off well before a horrible mix up resulted in Thomas being run out in the second over for 6 runs. The third wicket of Pavitheran fell soon after when he was bowled by one that kept a little low and that brought in Shahul, the captain of PSC. Shahul and Darvin batted out the remaining 16 overs and built a wonderful partnership and took the PSC total to 156. Both batsmen were in form. Darvin exhibited some beautiful stroke play along the way to make a fluid 69 n.o, while Shahul unleashed some powerfull hitting after the 15th over mark to make a very useful 76. Sulaiman and Showkat bowled well, without much luck.

FCC had to meet an asking rate of about 7.8, right from the start. A fighting start from the openers took the score to 10 in the first over before wickets started falling at a regular interval. Some key players in FCC did not click, especially with Aamir was trapped LBW early in his innings. Shakeel held on with a fighting 23, of as many balls and there was a late hard hitting by Showkat ( 20 of 9 balls ), but this was not enought to maintain the increasing asking rate.



PSC 156 for 3 off 20 overs. Darvin 69 not out off 59, Shahul 50,  Sulaiman 1/8 off one over and Showkat Bhavane 1/11 off 3 overs

MCC batted first and posted a good total of 147 for the loss of 8 wickets. MCC started very quickly with the power of Muhd. Nadeem whom scored 21 runs off 19 balls. Purav Shah guided his team well with a calm 48. His runs came off 37 balls and consisted of 5 fours and 2 sixes. Muhd Waseem was there to support Purav Shah with a few lusty blows and scored a quick 31 off just 18 balls. MCC batted well despite the fighting efforts from the Aussie bowlers especially by Jason Breman with 3 wickets for 25 runs off 4 overs and Matthew Richardson whom took 3 wickets in his second spell to finish off with figures of 3 wickets for 35 runs off 4 overs. John Bamford also contributed with economical figures of 1 for 19 runs off 4 overs.

ADF started cautiously in chase of their target of 148 from 20 overs at an asking rate of just above 7 an over. They lost their opener Richard Turnley through a fantastic ball by Sugumaran which was caught behind by the MCC wicketkeeper, which put the ADF on the back foot while opening batsman Dean Leck had to grind it out for his 23 runs off 39 balls. ADF lost some quick wickets thereafter. Jason Breman was the top scorer of the ADF innings with a handy 37 runs and Mark Robertson contributed with 13 runs.

STICKS TIGERS VS FRIENDS CRICKET CLUB (FCC)

The Sticks Tigers’ skipper, Keithan Goonasagaran chose the right side of the coin before putting FCC in to bat to what seemed like a sensible decision. A fantastic bowling performance by young off-spinner Shankar Goonsagaran grabbing 5 wickets for 26 runs off 4 overs and Kushan Asela provided a fine bowling performance with 3 wickets for 5 runs in just 2.2 overs. Only Showkat Ahmad (30 runs) and Aamir Bhat (10 runs) got to double figures. FCC made a mere 67 runs all out in 15.2 overs.

Sticks Tigers did not find it easy going chasing the target of 68 runs. They suffered a mighty blow by losing Keithan Goonasagaran (national under 19 player) on the first ball of the innings, falling victim to Aziz Khan. Reza Ul-Haque (27 runs), Kushan Asela (14 runs) and Kavintheran Kumar (11 runs) were the only notable scorers. FCC fought really hard to defend their low total but could not defend it despite their effort. Akbar Khan (2 wickets for 19 runs off 4 overs), Aamir Bhat (1 wicket for 8 runs) and Aziz Khan (1 wicket for 10 runs off 4 overs) bowled good lines for FCC. Sticks Tigers crawled to their target of 68 runs for 6 wickets with only 1.4 overs left in the innings.
