The Super 2nds got back to winning ways, beating FFE at glorious Fuji ground by the smallest of margins. Certainly a match that we’ll talk about for years to come. Great debut for Cath Grant too! Report soon. [Anton]
We were lucky to get a game in at all on Sunday. Unfortunately a much improved Sharks performance didn’t include enough catches and Tsukuba got away from us again. We need to win every JCup match from now to progress in the comp. Report soon. [Anton]
July 17th, a Sunday (with the next day as a national holiday) will see festivities break out in Oami, Chiba as the Thurgates hold their annual early summer BBQ. All are welcome so sign up in the Forum please, under Shark Talk. [Anton]
Many thanks to PG for taking care of the Stats this year. Our April/May tallies are now available (under the Stats Tab). Early promise from Doogs, Limo and Prash with the bat. Nice starts from PG, Regi, Kav and KB with the ball. Keep it up Sharks! [Anton]
An understaffed Sharks couldn’t restrict the Rising Sharks from posting 150+ which was enough for them to beat us at Sammu, where all four teams were on show. Good to see Koji again and many thanks to Mairaj and CT for umpiring the afternoon match. [Anton]
Appreciation to Chris Molloy and Takady for taking the long trek up to Tanuma for umpiring on Sunday. It was a good match by all accounts, played in a fair spirit too. [Anton]
The 1st XI came unstuck against Wombats spin maestro Rony down at Fuji at the weekend. Despite some quality fielding, the bats refused to work and we lost by a fair margin. Report soon. [Anton].
Many thanks to Dave Lollback and Chris Thurgate for taking care of our umpiring duties up at Sano on Sunday. Sounds like it was a Japan Cricket Veterans reunion with Mumtaz et al at the ground. [Anton]
A good session at Akai Farm saw everyone improve with the bat and ball as well as fielding. Many thanks to Takady for organising it. Catching looks so easy in the nets so let’s see if we can take that form back into the middle. [Anton]
The Japan Cup team played pretty well against Tsukuba but their classy openers rode their luck early on and then smashed everything out the park. Every shot in the book. Every boundary breached. Every gap pierced. One of those days… Report soon. [Anton]
