Match Report
Taverners Vs Cosmos Spartans
June 10 2020
Played at Elwick
Firstly for those who didn’t see my email, this game was the 1st officially sanctioned outdoor cricket game played in Canada in 2020 as a result of the lockdowns to combat Covid-19.
I will apologize for the Brevity of this report as I forgot I was supposed to make the report & arrived late, spent much of the evening socializing & the fact that the scorebook entries are a bit sparce.
Cosmos batted 1st & apparently Taverners set a blistering over rate with half the overs finished in less than ½ an hour. One of their openers scored 50 with some fine looking correct straight bat strokes, that is all the info I have for the batting except a final score of 109 for some wickets, looks like 3
Taverners Bowling:-
Sid 0 – 11,Chomo 0 – 6 , Nigel 2 – 12, Mark 0- 15, Caleb 0 – 18, Garvin 0 – 30,
Andrew 1 – 11, Sudarshan 0 – 7
Taverners opened with Sid (16) & Imdad (43) with Sid going great guns for the 1st over or so but then going into a stall, out trying to sweep a ball but chopping it onto his stumps. Terrible confusion as to who was in next so Ray (6) stepped into the breach until he was out LBW. Next in I believe was Garvin (2 N.O) at which point Imdad retired undefeated. Next up was Sudarshan (15) who as one of the veterans suggested was batting as though he was swatting flies eventually out caught. The final batsman in was Caleb AKA Sticky (6 N. O) playing his 1st game in 20 years taking our score to 110 from 14+overs
Our first win of a new season
Post game activities were in the club house at Elwick with the usual fine food supplied by Sudarshan. During the evening Roy turned up & payed his membership fees for the year as a new member.
It was confirmed that our second game would also be at Elwick against Lions B as it was not certain that the Park would be ready.
