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]
Men In Blue were neatly dispatched this afternoon in our Japan Cup opener at Sammu. The victory was partly down to a truly vintage 5fer by all accounts. report soon [Anton]
A low scoring nail-biter at the Sano International Cricket Ground (Tanuma) finished with the Sharks claiming a rare victory over the Sano 1st XI. Looks like it was another good day for the bowlers. Well done gents! Report soon. [Anton]
The 2016 Players page is up and running under the About tab above. I’ve added some recent photos of players that I have but if you feel that your true beauty is not being done justice then send me a pic of your choice and I’ll put it in. Otherwise, stay handsome Sharks. [Anton]
The 2nd XI put in a good all round performance to dispatch a dogged Wyverns XI at Sano on Sunday. New faces all chipped in with good performances too. A perfect start to the 2016 season for the Sharks. [Anton]
