MOM --- A tough one but goes to Raju Patel for his excellent spell and good solid batting for 2 out of 2 in a row.
Also kudos for Alay for his all round performance as well as leading the field settings and creating pressure on opponents.
A well deserved word for Viren A.K.A "Tikdi" for his extra flamboyant rock solid batting when team was in need.
COCC would also like to thank DCC for the lunch those AWESOME FALAFALS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Umpire Report Umpiring was consistent. Well done under pressure situations.
DCC report on umpiring: The umpiring was substandard. In run out situations, the umpire at the bowling end did not even move square of the wicket. On a stumping appeal, the leg umpire was not even paying attention and was looking off into the trees. And on an LBW appeal, the umpire upheld the appeal even though the ball had clearly pitched outside the leg stump and justified the decision by saying that it was going on to hit the stumps. |
