Heatherbank CC versus United

 

 

 

Just like Sum 41 sings "I don't wanna waste my time become another casualty of society."

 

So did Heatherbank Supers Saturday 17th November 2012. The Super league side took on United in there SA group 2 clash @ hetharbank1 10am.

A couple changes to the side this week, we see Kurt (Hubbly) Abrahams come back into the side for the first time this season, DP cricket Whindog taking the gloves for the first time this season and we welcome the Kunjani Kid back into the fould to take the injured Eugene Barnards spot.

The Heatherbank outfit sent united into bat and just like the song sais didn't wast much time after senior opening bowler "Kunjani to the world" aka Duncan "Grant and Anele" dismisses the United opener first ball.

Bit of an unlucky dismissal but none the less a first baller late on to the ball that rushed him and rolled towards the wickets and dislodged the bails.

 

Then it seemed easy pickings for the two openers D. Nel and J. Ellis who took 7 wickets between them for 58 runs. couple of single over through fours take them away and they could have been something like 17 overs 50 runs 7 wickets between the two. Jade has eased himself into the side and too him must be thinking "what's the problem guys this is a dolley of a game".

It didn't look to convincing from behind the wicket the United boys top 5 using a D&P bat couldn't hit the ball for nothing it seemed LBW's, Caught off the gloves bowled... Come on guys DP is awesome use the bat. But well batted to Vabz who top scored for them 24 odd.

 

I Digress....

 

 

Jade finished on 3/28 in 7 and the Kunjani Kid well these were the words I heard on the field "skip I am fresh, I have never taken a fifer in Super League cricket Please let me bowl through I know it is coming". 7 overs to 8 overs later the Big Opener is amped and he is 4 for 20+. The Big Wern comes on after a change at the top end Jade come off and gets a wicket 1st ball of his spell. Then the Wern a couple balls later twists his ankle, Ugly and retires from the game bringing on The Whaopam Jeggels Style to tweak the ball around for the rest of the over and debutant 12th man FILL THE WATER BOTTLES YOUNGSTER Elnatan Meiri(Welcome to Super League Buddy).   

 

I digress again, yes back to Kunjani Nel, picture the scene its a perfect script written for the opening bowler, he is on 4 wickets the edge has been found twice through the gully region and 3rd slip area during the morning session he then gets a third slip in place by the captain there is something going to happen we can feel it. There is an edge where tooo: 3rd slip O its Russell safe hands....................................................................

 

 

 

 

 EISH dropped unlucky.

Let me tell you he says too us that's my 3rd fifer I have dropped at heatherbank.

and let me tell you after the drop he takes a blinder another blinder taken on the day Timmie Whale with his one hander over his head at backward point. 

 

Well after the fun and games on the field we bowled the united side out for 89 and Duncan left on 4/30 in 10overs. Which left the boys focused on a chase but not to become to complacent because we need to finish off properly like the talented bunch of misfits we have in this side.

NOW TO HEATHERBANK CC INNINGS

To the Batting welcoming back into the side the "why always me" Friend of a friend Kurt the Hubbly Abrahams is opening the batting with The one and only Japes.

Japes gets another inside edge LBW decision :( hey its your shot it seems bud get too a hundred rather and do that please.

Robey promoted too 3 comes in and with Kurt form a solid partnership. Kurt kept the solid performance and stability why Robey showed the class and enforcement needed.

A couple of miscued free hits, boundaries and a massive six  but the boys finish it off in style.

 

 

Robey finnished the game on 38 off 30 balls and Kurt 27 off 48 balls a clinical win for the Heatherbank Supers boys.

Who now find themselves:

Played: 6

Won: 4

Shared points: 1 Rained out

Loss: 2

 

LUNCH and the Tannie has made for the boys a Chicken a-la King and Peas( "I hate Peas") and Rice its a main meal and a half what a beaut of a meal. The Tannie just keeps out doing herself  #8.5

Lekker Hey!!

Thanks again too Fritzy on scoring bud and lets keep it going to the top ten boys, lets keep this momentum lets build on it.

The Double Header Weekend

E-Ore, E-Ore

O St Georges how we are in awe of you. I think this might have been the consensus from most of the guys.

We anticipated this game so much I think we didn't mentally prepare properly.

 

At St Georges can some tell JP walk by faith bud, I think we all needed to step in that POOP too.

 

St Georges Park played host to the Supers and the Prems of Heatherbank Cricket Club in there league clashes versus PECC Saturday 10th November(MOvember) 2012

   Look at all them Mo's

and there are more in the side believe it.

 

The Prems battered first on the back field and were bowled out for 113:

 Kurt Abrahams scoring 20 odd. You can see him above.

 

The Supers at the same point in time fielded first and PECC got 263.

 

The two teams lost, Prems lost by 7 wickets and the Supers were bowled out for 173. Just a mention to Big Wern (warhaan) Bowled ten overs on the trot and picked up 3 sticks at a crucial time working with Timmy at the other end in a great spell of bowling. And  the JP carrying on the performance with the bat getting 58 and been given out hitting the ball into his foot :(

 

The first loss for the Supers and we still need to remember that winning feeling boys the whole club is buzzing and that great spirit is still there we must keep remembering that winning feeling never forget it.
Lets keep the forward movement!  

 

Lunch on the Day Hot dogs in a bain-marie # 5 

 

Gelvandale

Sunday 11th October

The Heatherbank Supers need a win against the Gelvandale side. After Our warm up surely we can capatalize.

It was not too be Gelvandale went into bat first and put on 204/all out. Old mistakes still happening but to restrict Gelvan to 200 after our performance in the field we were poised at Lunch. A great debut on the Youngster Jade Ellis welcome... Kunjani (what Duncan couldn't play unfortunate we missed the kunjani buzz) A great debut to the youngster taking 1/40 a great prospect for the club and he only 17 playing his first Super league game. Well Done Jade.

 

Lunch: Sit Down noodle chicken dish MMMMMM delish # 9

 

 Team in the follow up with the bat. Not going to say much about the batting performance Heatherbank 107 all out.

Look at the buzz at HBCC on a Sunday.

Not a good performance this weekend from the Heatherbank CC sides Hard week of training boys.. Lets prepare and fight back to hit the final 3 games of the year in the teeth.

 

Thanks to all the Supporters who came down to the games and constantly attend our games and support us. We apologise for our performances this weekend, we will come back fighting. "Its not the size of the owl in the fight, But the size of the fight in the Owl" EB. This double header weekend saw DP cricket player Eugene Barnard go out with a torn quad injury, we wish him a fast and speedy recovery.

Heatherbank Supers Play NMMU2

Heatherbank CC + NMMU2 Showdown.

Sunday 28th October saw Heatherbank C C Super league side take on NMMU 2's at home.
The first league clash of the season for the super league side at home. Spirits and buzz is high after our previous two (2) games.

Apparently the varsity side were reluctant to play as there was to much grass on the prepared strip pah. "Whatever Mingas" Well whatever the whining lot say, the game went on.
Master blasting toss winning skipper Riaan Jeggels puts the varsity side into bat. An up and down start for the varsity side pretty much only runs backward of square flash.. flash is all I saw.  A break through comes when the big man on campus aka Melman gets the wicket of the flashy opener. A great catch from the Welsy. In all games a partnership occurs and at drinks Heatherbank need to pull it back as the varsity going smoothly.

Gino comes back on to take a Hershall Contraveshall world cup catch well it was a caught and bowled, which got the umpires talking or conversing for a while and the NMMU batsman  throwing his toys out of his crib as he was given out cause that's what he looked like tuning on guys who weren't even talking to him.

Heatherbank start to tighten the screws after a drop catch few miss fields to come back to restrict the varsity side to 195/9 after they could have gotten 230 plus. Well done boys.

Werner Potgieter Said Heatherbank CC wouldn't even get 150 runs against the Varsity Side........ Just Saying what he bet me!

Lunch is served the Tannie puts out awesome burger and chips together for the boys. #7

The boys catch up on some liquids and banter and the Heatherbank boys prepare to go out to bat.
Opening the batting is the cramping JP and a bit of a change up today in the Line-Up the pac-man (No not Packirie) but the other pac-man aka Shaun the Whindog Whinney gets given the chance to open the batting for the supers side for the first time ever. I say Ever!

Lasting 9 overs at the crease Whindog gets caught behind leaving the cramped JP at the wicket who was struggling to run and about to give up. Enters Russell he departs early. Bringing the inform Dikkus to the crease. It was like he was still batting at the Dan taking that red ball from where he left off hitting the NMMU bowlers to all parts. A bit of a chuck here and a bit of a spin attack here nothing could stop him goodbye ball. JP playing a great support role, Cramping - where. We asked ourselves. Who needs to run when you guys are dealing in boundaries. Werner Potgieter into the attack brother versus brother. But un-luckily its was Werns to Jegges a good dot ball but unfortunately the other 5 balls went for the maximum leaving JP saying ag nee man dis my boetie... need  Jeggels but Jeggie was on fire I think he made 100 runs in boundaries. If anyone is wanting a ball there is a kooka still in the grass on the Villiers side if you have the energy to spend time looking for it.

2 Wickets down and the two boys are going strong. Dikkus departs after another impressive Ton 116 runs later the side needs 4 to win enter the big man melman and he dispatches the ball for four giving heatherbank the win Leaving the Japes on an unbeaten 68*

Heatherbank finnish on 197/3

The boys on a high leading to the double header weekend at St Georges and Gelvan.
