MEDIA RELEASE25th October 2008Day One Report the of Thailand International Cricket Sixes TournamentThe inaugural Thailand International Cricket Sixes Tournament got off to a great start at the excellent facilities provided by Harrow International School. Even the weather played its part by providing a pleasant breeze across the ground. Saturday’s 14 group games were to decide which trophies the sides will play for on Sunday. Proceedings got underway with a new side to the award-winning Asian Cricket Sixes Tour, The Rough-Edged Gents from Pattaya playing host club, Southerners Gold. The home side, who have done so much to make the staging of the event possible, posted 1/85 with the debutants scoring 2/36 in reply. The very impressive Etihad Airways were restricted to 1/63 by Jakarta Rebels with Sankat Nayak retiring on 30. The Indonesian outfit lost by 19 runs losing 3 wickets in the process. Old favourites, the Bounty Buccaneers of Malaysia struggled to 3/26 chasing Southerners Black target of 0/80 in which Johnny Giuffrida starred with 30*. Next up saw a titanic battle between Shanghai Dragons and international tourists, the CBB SCs. Chasing the CBBs 3/58, with Saurav Chatterjee’s retirement being the star performance, the Dragons fell 7 runs short despite not losing a wicket and Sanjay Anagula striking 31*. The Rough-Edged Gents scored 0/52 against the CBB Postels with Lee Keohane starring with 21*. It wasn’t enough as the total was passed without any loss. The match of the day saw Etihad pass Southerners Gold 2/42 from the last ball with 3 runs required. The visiting bat hit a six. Rob Bernard’s retirement took the CBB SKs to 0/52 but it was in vain as Lee Kennedy’s 29* saw the Bounty Buccaneers home. Sanjay Anagula’s second retirement of the day saw the Shanghai Dragons to 3/79 with the Southerners Black falling 20 runs short. Robbie Whiteman hammered 34* for Jakarta Rebels in their 0/88 against SBB Postels who replied with 3/43.
