May 25th 2003, CCCC vs Traditional Courses

Couple of injury problems meant that CC started with a slightly weaker team. One plus point was the return of the flamboyant opener Shahid. CC batted first and for once had a decent start of 39. Mudassar and Javed continued with their good form making 40 and 35 respectively. But once they went, things went a bit haywire. The lower order got out in a procession and we lost our last 6 wickets for next to nothing.   In the end we managed a meagre 151 all out off 32 overs.

Traditional  had a decent start but lost their way in the middle. Some good bowling by Salim brought him four wickets. Traditional were 100 for 7 at this stage. CC had a spell of bad luck as crucial catches were dropped and close LBW appeals were turned down. CC managed to take one more wicket and the required runs were scored in the penultimate over. For Traditional it was their first win of the season. As for us, it was our first defeat.
