Johor humble Sabah in National Division 1 50 Overs League.

2010-07-24T18:51:00Z

Johor had easy wins in both matches of the National Division1 50 overs League at the Johor Cricket Academy Oval inspite some anxious moments on the second day. Torrential rains reduced the encounters to 25 and 30 overs respectively.

1st MATCH. (3rd July 2010).
Johor won the coin and had Sabah batting on a slightly damp outfield. Openers Neil Hartstein and Mansalah Musa started cautiously to the pace of Gul Nazar Khan and accurate seam of Rakesh Mahadevan. The score at 21 runs in the 7th over, Mansulah Musa's thin edge was brilliantly snapped up by schoolboy wicket-keeper Syukran Ahmad. Two runs later, Neil Hartstein (15 runs) was run out by a Rakesh swipe at the stumps. Thereafter, it was a Sabah parade into the pavilion thanks to some fine exhibition of wily spin from Arif Abbasi (4 wickets for 11 runs) and skipper Eszrafiq Ab Azis (2 wickets for 11 runs). Sabah could only manage 68 runs in 18.2 overs.

Johor openers Arif Abbasi and Rakesh Mahadevan went for runs and were cruising well till the flashy Arif Abbasi skied a short delivery from Haaerul Marsudin to Muhamad Afiq for 15 runs and Johor's score 23 runs in 4.5 overs. Schoolboy international Syahadat Ramli joined Rakesh and the duo batted brilliantly for Johor to pass the Sabah score.

SCORES
SABAH 68 RUNS ALL OUT IN 18.2 OVERS
JOHOR 70 RUNS FOR 1 WICKET IN 13.5 OVERS

RESULT:- JOHOR WON BY 9 WICKETS

2nd MATCH. (4th July 2010).
The Toss won by Sabah had Johor batting. The match started with some very anxious moments for Johor as they lost the first four batsmen for a paltry 16 runs on the board. Rakesh Mahadevan was run out on the 9th ball of the day while Syahadat followed with a duck and scoreboard reading 9 runs. Skipper Eszrafiq Ab Azis lost his cool and played early to a slower ball from Haerul Marsudin to be caught by Mohd Fazil Mohd Wali. Arif Abbasi was next in the pavilion cleaned bowled by Roslan Mokti. Silence engulfed the clubhouse and with overcast skies, many a loving connoisseur of Johor cricket would have been in silent prayer hoping for the skies to pour. But a lion hearted fifth wicket partnership of 84 runs between Aliman Ahmad and Vickneswaran salvaged Johor to a respectable total of 120 runs. Aliman was next to go caught Neil Hartstein off Haerul Marsudin for a valuable 44 runs. Gul Nazar Khan, a prodigee of Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, walked in with his casual flair and took guard. After facing the first six balls rather defensively, Gul went beserk in typical Afridi fashion belting the leather all over the Oval. He was particularly harsh on Mohd Afiq Jabri hitting 31 runs in 3 overs and then continued the onslaught on the bowlers who took over. At the end of the stipulated 30 overs, Gul had 5 sixes and 4 fours to his 67 runs not out off 32 balls. Earlier, Vickneswaran was 6th out for a personal 38 runs which included 4 fours and a six while Hazrul Zainal was 13 not out at the close of Johor's total of 197 for 6 wickets.

Sabah's reply was not without anxiety as they found difficulty playing spinners Arif Abbasi (2 wickets for 23 runs), Syahadat Ramli (4 wickets for 26 runs) and Eszrafiq Ab Azis (3 wickets for 19 runs). Wickets kept falling and except for some short periods of resistance by Mohd Fazal Mohd Wali (24 runs) and Muhd Afiq Jabri (15 runs) there was nothing spectacular Sabah could do. They were all out for 110 runs in 24.2 overs.

SCORES
JOHOR 197 RUNS FOR 6 WICKETS IN 30 OVERS
SABAH 110 RUNS ALL OUT IN 24.2 OVERS
RESULT:- JOHOR WON BY 87 RUNS

Eszrafiq Hits First Ton Of The Division 1 50 Overs League 2010

2010-07-09T21:47:08Z

In the National Division 1 League between Johor and Penang at the Johor Cricket Academy Oval, both teams had to be contented with one win each - Penang winning the first and Johor the second match.

IN THE FIRST MATCH on the 26th of June 2010, Johor's unexpected "butter-fingers" fielding and a less than mediocre bowling effort allowed Penang to knock up 297 runs for 5 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. A second wicket partnership of 132 runs between Darvin Murali and Keithan Goona (sons of Penang Cricket's President Murali and Deputy President Dr. Goona respectively) assisted Penang to 170 runs before Darvin was caught by Eszrafiq Ab Azis off the bowling of Rakesh Mahadevan for 93 runs. This was followed by another brilliant show of excellent strokeplay for the third wicket by Keithan and Sri Lankan Kushan Asela enabling Penang to 243 runs at 44.3 overs when Keithan was clean bowled by Eszrafiq Ab Azis for 87 runs. Penang blasted another 54 runs in the last 5.3 overs with Kushan not out on 65 runs. Skipper Eszrafiq bowled well taking 2 wickets for 46 runs in 10 overs.

Johor's innings started with Arif Abbasi's aggresion paying the price when he fell at score 31 runs for 12 runs. Syahadat (7 runs) followed soon at 51 and Rakesh Mahadevan (28 runs) and Ammar Rusli (duck) were back with the scoreboard at 59 runs for 4 wickets. Eszrafiq (43 runs) played diligently and apart from Firdaus Rusli's 28 runs, there was nothing to crow about Johor's batting display - all out for 171 runs in 34 overs. Darvin Murali (4 wickets for 44 runs) and Kevintheran (3 wickets for 32 runs) were the main wicket-takers. Kushan Asela, Pavitren and Shankar Goona had 1 wicket each.

Final Scores:

Penang: 297 for 5 wickets in 50 overs.

Johor: 171 all out in 34 overs.

Penang won by 126 runs.

IN THE SECOND MATCH on the 27th of June 2010, a rejuvenated Johor elected to bat after winning the toss in a match reduced to 42 overs due to showers in the first session. Arif Abbasi once again mistimed a short delivery from Kavintheran and was caught by Shahul Hameed at the score of 15 runs in 2.4 overs. Syahadat (22 runs) and Rakesh Mahadevan (18 runs) played cautiously to carry the score to 52 runs in 11 overs when Darvin Murali had Rakesh caught in what was a grounded ball off Mega Kuhan. The umpire raised his finger only after a good 15 seconds following persistent appeals from Penang players and many a connoisseur of this noble game was stunned as to why the square leg umpire was not consulted when in doubt. Seven runs later Syahadat lost his concentration to sky one up to Thomas Matthew off Mega Kuhan. But skipper Eszrafiq Ab Azis patiently built up his innings controlling the strike and receiving good support from youngsters Ammar Rusli (8 runs in 18 balls) and Aliman Ahmad (3 runs in 14 balls) and Johor were 123 runs for 5 wickets in 23.5 overs. Eszrafiq received further support from Vickneswaran (9 runs in 13 balls) and upon calling for the batting power-play at the 30th over, he along with Firdaus Rusli (15 runs in 19 balls) went berserk sending the leather all round the Oval to reach his well earned 102 runs off 80 balls. At 39.2 overs he succumbed to a catch by Darvin off Kushan Asela and walked off to an all round applause from Penang's players and a standing ovation from the crowd. Johor were finally contented with 239 runs for 9 wickets in 42 overs. Kavintheran (4 wickets for 48 runs), Kushan Asela (2 for 24), Megakuhan (2 for 20) and Darvin Murali (1 for 55) were Penang's wicket takers.

Penang's openers Darvin Murali (15 runs in 25 balls) and skipper Thomas Matthew (10 runs in 37 balls) began very cautiously against some accurate seam bowling of Arif Abbasi and Rakesh Mahadevan and by the 10th over both were back in the pavilion for a modest total of 29 runs. Keithan Goona was out for a duck in the very next over. The next Penang pair of Niket Lulla (24 runs in 47 balls) and Pavitheran (8 runs in 29 balls) were further restricted by tight fielding and a tidy length of wily spin from Eszrafiq and the medium pace of Hazrul Zainal. When 6 Penang wickets had fallen for 88 runs in 27.5 overs, it appeared to be a foregone conclusion as Penang needed a run rate of 10.85 runs in the remaining 14.1 overs. But a late surge of aggresive batting by Sri Lankan Kushan Asela (43 runs) and able support from Shahul Hameed (23 runs) gave Penang some ray of hope. The pair added 40 runs in exactly the same number of balls and when Kushan was out with the score 128 for 7 wickets in 34.4 overs did Johor find some relief. With 112 runs required in 45 balls, the remaining Penang batsmen prodded to a final tally of 161 for 8 wickets in the stipulated 42 overs. Arif Abbasi (2 wickets for 15 runs in overs), Ammar Rusli (2 for 47 in 8 overs), Eszrafiq (1 for 14 in 9 overs), Rakesh Mahadevan (1 for 32 in 9 overs) and Hazrul Zainal (1 for 30 in 7 overs) were the toast of Johor's tight bowling.

A notable feature in this match was the recall of Thomas Matthew who was earlier given out to a grounded ball. Johor skipper Eszrafiq sportingly called him back onto the field. Both matches were played in great spirit.

Final Scores:

Johor: 239 for 9 wickets in 42 overs.

Penang : 161 for 8 wickets in 42 overs.

Johor won by 78 runs.

Johor Defeat Pahang

2010-06-21T12:15:15Z

Johor thrashed Pahang in both matches of the National Division One 50 0vers Cricket League at the Johor Cricket Academy Oval.

In the first match on 19th June 2010, Pahang won the toss and elected to bat. Openers Kairul Azrin Matsiah and Ahmad Adzim started cautiously adding 56 runs in 21 overs when both were out in succesive balls to Vicneswaran. Apart from a dogged innings of 43 runs by Asif Ali, the rest of the Pahaang batsmen offered token resistance succumbing to the spin of Vicneswaran (3 wkts for 38), Eszrafiq Ab Azis (4 wkts for 30) and Rakesh Mahadevan (2 wkts for 19). Pahang were 152 runs for 9 wickets in the 50 overs.

Johor's openers Arif Abbasi (36 runs in 42 balls) and Rakesh Mahadevan (52 runs in 56 balls) had an opening partnership of 79 runs in 10.1 overs when Arif was brilliantly caught by N. Murugan of Asif Ali. Syahadat Ramli (34 not out in 40 balls) and Rakesh carried the score to 124 runs before Rakesh was caught behind. Eszrafiq (15 not out in 9 balls) and Syahadat then helped pass Pahang's total in 21.4 overs.

Final Scores:

Pahang 152 for 9 wickets in 50 overs.

Johor 153 for 2 wickets in 21.4 overs.

JOHOR WON BY 8 WICKETS

In the second match on 20th June 2010, Pahang again elected to bat on winning the toss. Tight bowling by Johor's bowlers Hazrul Zainal (2 wkts for 16), Eszrafiq Ab Azis (3 wkts for 23), Syahadat Ramli (2 wkts for 30) and Rakesh Mahadevan (2 wkts for 12) pegged the Pahang batsmen to be all out for 130 runs in 45.4 overs. Only Muhamad Saad Khan (20 runs) and Asif Ali (13 runs) offered some resistance.

In reply, Johor went for quick runs and in the haste lost Rakesh Mahadevan (16 runs) with the total at 34 runs in 7 overs. Subsequently, Arif Abbasi (68 not out) and Eszrafiq Ab Azis (37 runs) blazed through the Pahang bowling and finally Johor ended up with 133 runs for 2 wickets in 18.2 overs.

Scores:

Pahang 130 runs all out in 45.4 overs

Johor 133 runs for 2 wickets in 18.2 overs

JOHOR WON BY 8 WICKETS
