Match Report

Thursday 18 June –v- Meantime Brewery at Greenwich Park

A lack-lustre performance from Crusaders in overcast conditions at Greenwich Park, was still sufficient to see off the challenge of the Meantime Brewery in our latest 20/20 match. Crusaders included Simon 'Ghoulash' Burr, Mirek Zarembski (2nd Pole to represent the club) and another appearance from ex-skip Grant in their eleven.

Spud won the toss and elected to bat. Jagdesh produced his usual array of strokes, smiting and slicing four consecutive boundaries on his way to a quick-fire 18 and he was followed by a more graceful contribution from Grant (26*) and the abrasive Chand (24) (run out while Neil laughed ) . At ten overs we were well placed for a score in excess of 150, but failed to run available singles and convert ones into twos. Simon finished unbeaten on 21 and Mike smashed the ball all round the square for a fluent 7.

Crusaders did their best to help Meantime to an improbable victory, with some awful fielding and indifferent bowling. At 80-5 in the 14th over Meantime were still very much in the contest, but the unlikely duo of Taylor and Burr curtailed the runs and each helped themselves to a brace of wickets, as Meantime closed on 107-8.
