The Final Battle

Guys, the moment has finally arrived: the final game of the season, 4 teams remaining,one division championship and one winning chance. What an adrenalin rush!! We (Wanderers CC) rank 2nd with 6 points away from Lime, who currently hold 1st position. We couldn’t ask for a more exciting way to end the season. Our aim is to gain maximum points in this game with high anticipation of an indubitably great performance.



In our previous game, we won with ease against Barbados Youth, a reduced team, as most of their players were involved in the WICB U19 tournament. We bowled them out for 114 in their first innings. I reached a quick 25 before gifting away my wicket.



 On day one we maximized the opportunity to gain as many points in the first innings, as we were extremely conscious of the inclement weather, expected on day 2 and 3 of the following weekend.
As a result we scored 300 for 9 dec. gaining full batting and bowling points. Our talented all-rounder Diego Stuart took 8 wickets in the game also scoring 50*, resulted in an easy victory for us as we bowled out the host for 68 in their second innings.

We head up to the Pine Basin Oval to play MTW for our last game, which would be the most significant game of the season for us. My week’s preparation for this game has been very intense and gratifying. Therefore, I'm well prepared to exhibit a great performance, so you can expect positive news from my next blog and I’m certain that my teammates will also do an excellent job.

Rejuvenated from the ICC U19 world cup, Kraigg Brathwaite will be back at the top of the order. I always love playing on the same side as "Bow Bow", as we both have a great sense of humor especially in each other’s presence. No one can make any mistakes on the field while he's around. He definitely mentions it in the most comical way when we return to the dressing room.

From an individual and a collective standpoint, I want to express my gratitude to everyone for their support. I promise to do my very best. Please keep the positive support going...and until next time, I wish everyone an enjoyable weekend. One Love!
