WINNERS ARE GRINNERS! OH WHAT A FEELING!!!
That is our FIRST OD WIN THIS SEASON and our first competitive win since January 14th. Not that I was counting but it was a losing streak of 11. BUT NOW IT IS A WINNING STREAK OF 1!!!!!!!!
I am not going to lie after our bowlers did so well I was convinced we would have a characteristic collapse but the batters dug in and got the win.
Tour Match # 1
VS SOUTH AFRICA
Result:
UAE win by 5 wickets.
The Match in a tweet: It has been a while between drinks but UAE ARE ON THE WINNERS LIST. WOOOOOOOO
Man of the Match: Kamal Qassem
That is 5 wickets for Qassem!
Our best:
Kamal Qassem - Google tells me that Qassem translates to "the one who distributes" and our boy was distributing wickets left right and centre. A wicket maiden in his first over including a peach that knocked over Hashim Amla clean bowled. Then proceeded to mop up the tail and grab his five fa. 5/38 off 9 overs including 2 maidens.
Kaliq Aziz - 1/23 off 8 overs, a catch and then a gritty 27 runs rounding out a solid performance. We won't mention that the wicket was because the batsmen trod on his stumps.
Kazuchika Okada - 2/24 off 10 overs - 3 of which were maidens.
Aban Haqq - Consistent as ever the old hack - 2/27 off his 6 overs and a catch.
Zavier Salman - a stumping, a catch and 34 runs for the glovesman.
Around the Grounds:
Scotland beat Ireland by 6 wickets
USA beat Bermuda by 42 runs.
Tomorrow we take on Bermuda at 0500. Tune in then.
We were very blessed to play within a bee hive and I will see you all tomorrow.
Sleep well winners... x
Trust in the process
