Does lighting strike twice? Yes. Island were struck again by the
electrifyinig Ducks, on pitch three again testing the new orange ball handed
over by Bert on his flying bike.
Winning the toss and electing to bat the ducks openers Aleem Dar and
Sibet took to the crease with tight line and length by the Island attackers
we lost Sibet early on, with Amir, Ahmed and Husnain adding good knocks, we
managed a defendable score.
An outburst of a heavy shower bought the rainbow on pitch three as the
Ducks soldiers were preparing to out on the front line.
With the ball flying past the Island openers like a rocket by the
Dynamite the required rate started to creap up, on the other side Aleem Dar
started to place his leg breaks on mine field, at first change came Ahmed
and Husnain with their deadly offspin and line, strangled the island batting
order. half the Island team were run out, by the Cluster Bomb hitting the
target with deadly precision from all angles of the outfield by this deadly
Hit Squad, the firepower was too much to handle and Island were once again
blown away.
The "Tactician" who went A.W.O.L last week was seen wandering in the
tree shades of the park. Well done to our wicket keeper Zain the "Thriller
from Manila", ducking and diving behind the wickets like a ninja. The baby
Duck on the score sheets again balancing the books.
