Story Sneaky Penguins - A Season On Thin Ice [Battrick]

Rocky Rocky Rocky!

Second Penguin Arrives​

Following Rockys footsteps was Right Arm Medium pacer Rolando Carmino. Carmino was not what Effine wanted.

He is not what I wanted, nor does he bowl as well as Groves. Nonetheless he will stay and bowl as a back-up bowler, Occasionally breaking into the first XI

From your youth academy? Rolando Carmino

Just curious to know,

"Is it taking more time to build a strong team from scratch compared to the time you took for developing your well built team before? "

Season starts with flying colours​

2 weeks into the 9th Battrick season, the Penguins have managed to win both forms of the game this week. The first official match that the Penguins played was the First Class match against Nelsons Dockyard CC. The lineup was:

Hiller
Yorke
Benn
Burger (*)
Knight
Pine (+)
Clegg
Lisbie
Allott
Cunningham
Carmino

The match started off with the Penguins winning the toss and electing to field first on a green pitch. Things did not go as smoothly as Effine wanted as Dockyard CC posted up 356 before being bowled out. Only Hayward managed to cross 50 as he scored 59 off 106. Debutant Carmino took 4 wickets to open his account in the long form of the game.

In reply, the Penguins hit 551 for the loss of 5 wickets, before declaring. Yorke hit 112 off 132 and Hiller, Benn, Burger and Knight hit round the 80 mark. The second day continued and Dockyard CC were reduced to 63/4. On the third day, the Penguins ripped through the rest of the batting lineup, taking the score to 68/ao. Cunningham took 7 wickets, while Carmino took 3 more.

A good display of cricket by the boys. A good one, hopefully we can carry this form throughout the season

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the shorter form of the game, the Penguins managed a victory against the Mad Hitters, who proved thier might in the last match of the OD tournament of last season, by beating the Penguins. Yesterday the lineup was:

Badenhorst
Davison
Yorke ( * )
Worthington
Hedley (+)
Pine
Daley
Rogan
Groves
Roe
Muller

The Penguins were going forward with their strongest lineup, with a few surprises in it. Yorke was to captain the side for the first time, in the absence of Burger and Benn. Groves was making his One Day debut for the Penguins. The Penguins won the toss and elected to field first again. The Hitters played a good innings and were doing well at 190/4, before Rogan struck and the scorecard read 220/10. Rogan ended with figures of 6/39 with 5 balls remaining. Muller and Groves shared 2 wickets each.

The Penguins chased slowly, the openers Badenhorst and Davison posted 90 before Badenhorst fell for 44. Yorke hit a quickfire 39 off 37 before falling to Noon. Davison too fell at 61. Worthington and Hedley took the team to victory with a quick 45 off 21 and 21 off 16. They reached the target with 16 balls to spare. Curtis took 2 while Noon managed 1.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful, however there is still room for improvement.

1st Innings:

Mad Hitters: 220/10

Howlett 93 (127)
Emerton 42 (68)

Rogan 6/39 (9.1 overs)
Muller 2/30 (10 overs)

2nd Innings:

Sneaky Penguins: 221/3

Davison 61 (126)
Worthington 45* (21)

Curtis 2/45 (8.2 overs)
