Coast Gymkhana Reign Supreme

In between the Twenty-20 and Fifty overs tournaments that they have their sights on, it appears that Coast Gymkhana are also trouncing the opposition in a friendly tri-series they have organised. The full write up of the competition can be found here on Coastweek, so for a better read and description of the goings on that is the place to go.

For those with less time, here are the results in a crabshell:

Coast Gymkhana 10/218 Bt Simba Union 8/176.

Cutch Leva 10/162 Lst to Coast Gymkhana 4/163.

Cutchi Leva 10/186 Bt Simba Union 10/145.

Simba Union 10/86 Lst to Coast Gymkhana 6/87.

Cutchi Leva 10/139 Lst to Coast Gymkhana 4/140.

Six half centuries have so far been scored in the tournament:

Maisam (S.U) 99 & 50, Stewart Kayne (Gym) 62, Chetan (C.L) 56, Kishar (C.L) 55, and Harish (Gym) 51.

Only 1 bowler has a 4 wicket haul so far, Chetan (C.L), but there have been ten 3 wicket efforts coming from Zuhair (S.U) 2, Sadpal (S.U), Bhavik (Gym), Dinesh (Gym), Ramzan (S.U), Harish (C.L), Harish Pindorea (Gym), Kake (S.U) and Kayne (Gym).

All in all, not only very good practice for the teams involved in the lead up to the 50 over league, but a good showcase for the Mombasa players' skills as well. It is about time that the Coast teams got to play the Nairobi teams to give us a true indication of how their cricket is faring, and for their players to get a real chance of making it to the national team. In the meantime, great to hear of cricket being played regularly at the coast, and also to see it reported in the local press. Keep up the good work Gymkhana and Coastweek!
