The team was upbeat after some good wins prior to this game. For this game the team had come one hour early; the fielding drills prior to the game set up the tone for the day. This ought to be done before every game if ACK intends to reach the top of the table.
Field: The captain won the toss and chose to field. Damon and Tariq opened the bowling to a Test match style slow start by the opposition. Up to over 17 the run rate was kept under 4.5, then the opposition increased the scoring by a touch and crossing 5. One fat lad from the opposition Sondre Nordstrand scored 49 with 6 boundaries otherwise nothing much to boast. Unsung hero and fitness trainer Simon Hunt bowled 2 overs and picked up two neat wickets. David and Damon were the pick of the bowlers with 3 wkts each.
The only bad aspect of the bowling was the amount of wides counting to 26 and the 8 bad balls bowled which were belted out of the park, otherwise it was a tidy effort by the bowling unit.
Plays: The man with the golden arm of the day was Marcus, caught like a dream with 3 catches. Simon “The Keeper” stumped another fat lad off Simon “The Trainer” with his quick hands!

Bat: The Aliens sealed a comprehensive 10 wicket victory first time ever in the history of ACK. Damien effortlessly pulverised the opposition with a 63 ball 94 sculpted with 11 boundaries and 1 six. He struck at 150. The game was completed under 17 overs meaning ACK was chugging on at 8 per over. Contrasting on the other end David was grinding the opposition otherwise the game could have been over 3-4 overs earlier especially with all wickets in hand. This was like watching MSD and Ishant Sharma batting together, with Damien taking a single only in the 4th or 5th ball of an over if he was on strike the first ball of that over!
