When: 31 May

Where: Ekeberg 2

Dave won the toss and elected to bat faster than a gypsy with a free happy meal voucher.

In favourable conditions Marcus and Mitchell opened the batting in good form, nudging the ball around and taking the shine off the ball for a good partnership in the first ten overs.

Mitchell played some good shots and was looking settled out in the middle but was unlucky not to reach his 50, being bowled over for 48.

Waqar continued on from Mitchell with some classy shots during which I time manged to run myself out for 3 despite my catlike reflexes!!;)

Waqar and Jamie continued to score in a fair partnership before Waqar was out lbw for a well earned 34. A gritty as always Damon put on a quick 20 followed by a quick succesion of wickets due to some poor shot selection. Tail certainly wagged with Richie waltzing out to the wicket and attcking the bowlers for an extremely rapid 26 before running out of overs

No huge individual efforts, but certainly showed the importance of partnerships which got us through to a defendable 216.

Waqar and Damo opened the bowling, both were on target but were a little unlucky with some questionable fielding.

1st drop Steve bowled an really excellent spell, tying up one end effectively and piling the pressure onto the batsman, with Daves arm balls doing the same down the other end, which resulted in some crucial wickets including Shazad(Baerum) who was the final man out, for 98.

A wee bit of loose bowling in the late 20's took the foot off the throat slightly, however Waqar aka 'the Pakastallion' in his 2nd spell proceded to devastate the Bærum middle order with some epic swing bowling avenging his own lbw dismissal with three of his own, ending with figures 4/52 off 8 overs

Steve and Damo started cleaning out the tail with Damo getting a great caught and bowled and Steve bowling Dawood middle stump with the best slow ball seen this side of Dubbo in a long while. The late overs were looking a little tight for victory but excellent work in the field and some tight bowling resulted in a great victory for the Aliens, with the winning catch been taken by an absolutely terrified Drew, who looked like he made a diamond in himself while waiting wide eyed for the ball at long on!!

A good victory and first blood for the Aliens in the elite div 2014
