Civic Gardens murdered again

Civic Gardens are faced with members cancelling their affiliation with the club after they were destroyed by Pudlington in their latest match in the First Class League.

From the beginning the visitors showed a change of tactics by electing to bat first after winning the toss. Captain Fitzroy Boyd was humiliated by being caught behind by the opposition wicketkeeper, Tim Parry, on the very first ball of the game.

Only three batsmen reached double figures as Gardens were skittled for just 111 in only 66.5 overs.

Pudlington replied with three stunning centuries. Skipper Siyaguna Draheem rubbed his opposite number's face in the dirt by piling 193 off 222 balls. His fellow opener, Delroy Willie, built an amazing 234 not out off 304 balls. When Draheem was finally out, number three Geraint Boyle went out with the clear intention to chance his arm. His risk paid off, as he whacked 113 not out off an astonishing 85 balls, slamming 8 fours and 3 sixes in the process.

After a declaration, it took only another 76.2 overs for the home side to wrap up the win, rolling over Civic Gardens for another 149 runs, thanks largely to 60 from captain Boyd.

Civic Gardens 1st innings: 111 all out (Keates 3/27)
Pudlington 1st innings: 559/1 declared (Willie 234 not out, Draheem 193, Boyle 113)
Civic Gardens 2nd innings: 149 all out (Boyd 63, Zammit 3/26)

Pudlington won by an innings and 299 runs

Superb suff. You must be so happy to get a win. I like the fact that the picture looks like it actually comes from a local cricket game.

Five consecutive defeats for Civic Gardens

Civic Gardens are still searching desperately for victories after they slumped to two more defeats.

The first loss was an improved performance from the Civics but lapses in concentration at vital moments contributed to their downfall in the First Class League.

That was followed by a mauling in the One Day League today.

Civic Gardens 1st innings: 244 all out (Boyd 64, Horsfield 3/25)
Apa? 1st innings: 395 all out (Goode 115 not out, Oconnor 111, Kidd 83, Akram 4/61)

A Right Rum Bunch won by 199 runs

The next match is a massive one for Civic Gardens - AP in their opening fixture of the PlanetCricket Shield.

 

[Left_Hander]

They scored 444. Sorry I have to laugh. That is embrassing though you put up a good effort by scoring 245 yourself.

I won't be writing the results of every game the team play now, only my matches in the PlanetCricket Shield.

CIVIC GARDENS THRASHED IN PLANETCRICKET SHIELD OPENER

Civic Gardens got off to a bad start in the PlanetCricket Shield on Sunday with a thrashing at the hands of AP.

Civic Gardens innings: 120 all out (Pollard 3/13, Berry 3/33, Jephcott 3/36)
AP innings: 121/1 (Lefu 80 not out)

AP won by 9 wickets

"It is hugely disappointing. We have tried all sorts to turn this situation around but we just can't figure out what is wrong with this team," said coach Lee Payne afterwards.

"The PlanetCricket Shield is a very desirable title. We would swap all of the other titles to win the Shield."

Their next match is against The Blind Society on Sunday.

 

[Highlander999]

Well if you can't beat a bunch of blind people...................

Still good work mate

 

[ZoraxDoom]

This should be your first win. Against the Blind.

But hey, if you still lose, you can challenge the Penguins!!!

 

[Left_Hander]

It is a shame that you are only posting the results in the PC BT Shield. Good luck with that
