After being put into field, the Island bowlers bowled beautifully to keep
the Junoon scoring rate low. Led by Jack 'Stollerz', even the old pretender
Dheraj Shamoo-pooch got in on the act with a fine spell, though the legality
of his trainers must surely be looked into by the ICC...it's just not in the
spirit of cricket Dil! And how Tanjeem got a maiden is a mystery to
everyone, including himself.
Set a 115 to win, Island sent in a new, youthful looking opening pair. Joe
is turning into a handsome little player and his cricket's not bad either.
He smashed the ball around the ground with both aggression and class -
leading to all Island's players on the touchline claiming some stake in
Joe's development.
Personally I think Motiur's (my) decision to let him open was inspired. End
of. Young Connor played watchfully, showing that Island's future is bright.
Motiur chipped in with a useful 44 not out, playing a beautifully placed
inside edge to win the match. Well done to both teams.
