HCC 1 verkoos te batten na gewonnen toss.  Sterke opening van Reinier Kalis en Tonny Staal. Nadat Reinier uit was op 72/1, kwam Jonno  aan het wicket. Hij en Tonny hadden een partnership van 126 voordat Tonny naar de kant moest met 75 runs achter zijn naam, Hidde (23) zorgde voor zijn bijdrage maar Jonno was de koning met 130 runs. HCC eindigde op 319/8.

Een mooie score maar op het kunstgras van HBS geen zekerheidje. Sar bleek: In de de 49e over werd ons totaal gepasseerd voor slechts 4 wickets.

Het gepromoveerde Tweede had een flitsende start tegen VVV dat afgelopen seizoen net de promotie naar de topklasse miste. Eerst fielde na verloren toss. Op 45 waren al 4 batsmen naar de kant en kreeg het Tweede kans op meer. Helaas bleek het moeilijk de kansen te benutten en lieten ze VVV ontsnappen en zagen uiteindelijk een totaal van 251 op het bord staan. Ali Ahmad (5x), Felix Vecchi (2x), Raafieq Isaacs (2x) en Daniel Trijzelaar pakten de wickets.

Na de lunch was het tweede kansloos en strandde op 110 all out. Ali was topscorer met 33 runs. Opvallend de 15 not out van Thijs Smits.

HBS - HCC

There is nothing more impressive than a man with confidence with self and inner confidence cams with impressive physical and mental attributes. Tobias has combination of both concentration and skill along with cricket knowledge, within second his natural instinct guid him to decide the selection of shots. His sharp intelligence observe the bowlers’s network and encounter the strategy accordingly. His brilliant half century contain only 15 ball 50 run it is history.
Our Golden boy “Tony stall” have more mature approach toward the match winning attitude, he has many shots in his repertoire, every inning he played sensibly with thoughtful manners which is very rare in this age. His 75 run partnership with Jonathan Vandiar almost 200 runs would be the millstone of the victory, HCC accomplish 319 run. This huge total put them in illusion they thought they have won the match, that is the beauty of this game, huge total is the game changing psychology. If you are mentally able to play the best inning in the most important moments , you are different then others Tobias played a perfect inning against HCC. The Golden boy “Tobias” snatch the match out of jaws in single handed. Why? His 68 spectaculars run are turning point of the match and change the whole segment of the game within no time. I have fabulous memories of Rainier Bijloos’s lethal Yorkers and short pitch ball were wicket taker and sheer speed of Mark Jonkman and his lethal Yorkers. They have great chance of stamping the batsman. Because they were living the crease in every ball. There are moments that steel of never disappears and panic take place in the mind of captain then this happened.

Containment,
The term used in Australia when huge total to chase and pitch is paradise of runs in this phase of the match, captain have option to adopt the containment tactics. How to contain the opposition’s run rate down and putting pressure in order to batsman take risk to accelerate the run rate, during the inning process run rate creeping higher en higher and pressure is amounting on the batsman, he has to take risk or hitting order from his captain and patience of audience are boiling with the thrill of the situation would create so much pressure on batsman, that is the point which side have cool headed captain to handle the pressure. Stubborn partnership or containing fielding side. It is the test of nerve and handling the pressure. Feiko Klopenburg should teach the match winning tactics, how to win matches in different situation different phases of the match, changing the tactics in every balls, observing the skill of batsman, which side of the pitch he is strong and which bowler is lethal for batsman. It is duty of captain to constantly searching the week points of batsman.

The captain , either remain cool calm and display imagination and leadership or loos the head completely. He never look as if he is struggling when in the middle.Captaincy is very different especially when the ball is flying all over the place in the field, or a stubborn partnership is threatening to take the game away from you.
Its happened in HBS ground the glorious partnership took the match easily from HCC. The genius batsman electrified the audience 15 balls 50 run, it is record in Dutch cricket history. The phenomenal inning which stand many years to come someone break his record.

640 Run is monumental task to exhibited both side and chasing 320 run is also a record in Dutch’s cricket history.

Vandiar 130, an intriguing one same tale of heroism, and some twist and turn and will have effect on the next game, HCC have some big scorers with excellent form this year, Tony Stall a dynamic batsman he manufactures 124 in practice match with great concentration and commend and also brilliant 75 run against HBS.
