Dynamite DUCK'S FLY away with the CUPS!!
Ducks were put into bat in this sizzling cup final between two of the most
Destructive teams in the league, both deservedly finalists as predicted.
Ducks welcomed back fresh from the mostly rained-out test match, Aleem Dar,
who
displayed his batting skills with exceptional stroke play, with the
"Executioner" Sharif, playing some excusit shots, at an average of 10 p.o,
at one down came tanveer playing texbook cover shots stayed unbeaten, the
mid order which has been the key to our success this season, man of the
series "Diamond" hussy, the "Bomb" Ahmed and the "Dynamite"
Sibet gave
exceptional performances. Helmets off to these soldiers, in the end Ducks
managed a defendable total.
As the Ducks "HIT SQUAD" took to battlefield for the last time this season,
the soldiers took to their field positions to protect their assigned
territories like a pack of hungry lions.
Opening attack bowlers Sibet the "Ilford Express", started exploding with
deadly bouncers, the ball was flying pass the openers like a bullet, his
varied paced attack shook the Cally's openers helped by Tanveer who kept the
run rate to a minimum, the boundaries dried up for this Cally's normally
dangerous batting attack.
As the mid-order bowlers Aleem Dar, and the "Bomb" Ahmed blew away the
Cally's top order, ahmed again picking up the vital wickets. the job was
finished by the death bowlers, Amir taking 2 for 2.
Welldone to the Baby Duck for picking up the Scorer of the Season award .
The Ducks Fly out to conquer the Premier Division in the Docklands Indoor
League, and then onto Last Man Stands 20/20. Gents keep the seat belts on
for the show has just started.
