SPORTING ALFAS I OUTGUN BARCELONA AT THE WOODBRIDGE OVAL

Saturday, May 3rd

Barcelona CC 177 all out
SACC 1st XI 179-10

Cricket España League game sponsored by Fandangos restaurant (Albir)

On a gorgeous sunny day the Barcelona captain won the toss and
surprised no-one by choosing to bat first. In typical fashion the
Barcelona opener took a good look at the first ball before trying to
smash the second out of the country only to top edge it to Shafique,
who took a magnificent catch.The Alfas bowling attack continued to
bowl tight lines, and, with some great catches, the top five had gone
with just 35 on the board. Tariq and Tanveer came to the crease to
steady the ship and steered the Barcelona total to 95 before Tanveer
played a poor shot to be caught by Pennick for 27. Qasar came to the
crease to hit some huge sixes before falling to another good catch in
the deep off Mudassar. Barcelona finally reached 177 all out, with
Mudassar (14-4) and Lupson (29-2) the pick of the Alfas bowlers.

In the face of some accurate, full-pitched fast bowling, Alfas lost
quick early wickets. Wasim Ul-Rehaman dug deep to keep Alfas in the
game with the scores at 24-4 and Mudassar smashed a quick 16 in the
space of two overs before being given out for handling the ball. When
Wasim also went, leaving SACC at 75-6, Spencer and Fletcher put
together a partnership of 55, leaving the ninth wicket bowling duo of
Muñoz and Lupson to compile the final 44 required and take Alfas to a
good team win. For Barcelona Tanveer and Zakulla both bowled well,
taking 6 of the wickets between them.
