Complete team effort this year we wanted to say huge congratulations and a job well done to each and every member of this unit.

We ended our 5-year drought of the 45-over league championship, this year, after 5 seasons of either being runner-ups or in the top 3 we always stayed close to the cup. Finally brought it back this year

The best part of this season is we do not have anyone from our team that was best bowler/batsman or MVP which shows this year was a complete team effort with every single player contributing at different stages.

Huge thanks to everyone that supported us through the season, hopefully, we can continue the streak in the winter season.

TMCC vs CA Eagles

This was a match between a heavy batting side vs a good bowling side. CA Eagles won the toss and elected to bat first. Majid and Shripal came to bat started batting carefully. They both are aggressive batsmen, but started slow on a good wicket. Kamal and Rahul Choudhary bowled good line and length and troubled the batsmen with new ball. Although both batsmen survived the new ball. Then it was spinners turn to bowl. Gurpreet Singh got Shripal out in his 2nd over. Majid and Narsingh were building a inning before Gurpreet got Majid out on a controversial LBW decision. Ca Eagles were 131 for 2 in 28 overs. They were looking to accerate with Narsingh and Gary set at the crease andRudy, Ashok and Henell yet to bat. Harpreet came to bowling and got Narsingh Deonarine out in his first over who scored 51 of 59. Jatinder and Harpreet kept bowling the tight line and TMCC were able to restrict Ca eagles at 211. Harp Sandhu got 4 wickets and Jatinder ended with 3 wickets in his 8 overs.

This is the the target that most teams would love to chase on a ground like George. TMCC were very confident to chase the total even though their batting was not being consistent. Sourabh and Guri came to bat. Sourabh played few brilliant shots before getting out to a ball that bounced awkwardy from a good length delivery. Guri, harpreet and Kamal added some runs for the 2nd and 3rd wicket but both Happy and kamal got out after getting set. TMCC needed 110 runs in 20 overs with 7 wickets in hand and Guri was still there on the crease. It was looking like an easy chase, but Harish Kakani got unlucky and was given out caught behind when his bat hit the ground. RR started rising and TMCC kept losing wickets on regular intervals. Rahul Choudhary was batting brilliantly before he twisted his knee while running between the wickets. It was a huge blow to TMCC who were 7 down with 50 more to win. Rahul had to retire. Jagdeepak tried to fight until the end but we fell short of 20 runs. It was a game with a lot of sledging, arguments, heated moments but CA eagles held their nervous and experience of Narsingh Deonarine helped them get over the line. He batted well to get them to fighting total and also bowled good at crucial time.

Man of the Match - Narsingh Deonarine

TMCC vs Afghan Zwanan
It was a nice sunny day in San Jose and unbeaten(in 45 overs League) Afghan Zwanan was going to face Table toppers TMCC . Afghan Zwanan won the toss and captain Rehan decided to ball first. Afghan Zwanan team had a dream start with the ball. Both TMCC openers were back in the pavilion with just 12 on the board. Kamal and Harpreet started building the inning, but Kamal ended up losing his focus and edged a ball that was going wide down the leg side. Guri joined Happy when TMCC were struggling at 27-3 in 10 overs. Both added 48 runs before Guri got out trying to accelerate. Jatinder, Gurpreet and Rahul Choudhary had good contributions, but they all failed to capitalize after getting set at the crease. Happy stayed calm and composed throughout the Inning, but missed on another well deserving 100. Jagdeepak and Rahul Sharma added important runs towards the end. Esa Kunari and Zabit Darwesh (2 main bowlers of Afghan Zwanan) were injured , but they were still able to get TMCC all out at 204. It looked like Afghan Zwanan’s were happy with their bowling performance.

This wasn’t a target that most teams would like to defend on a ground like George, but TMCC bowlers had bowled really good past 2 matches, so they were confident and ready to perform. Afghan Zwanan sent 2 of their hard hitting batsmen, Zabit and Nawaz, to open the inning. Nawaz started the inning in style and hit a six on the first ball in the 2nd inning. Kamal adjusted his line and length after the first ball and got Zabit out on last ball of his first over. This brings Majid to the crease. Majid and Nawaz started scoring runs. Nawaz made full use of power-play and hit some big sixes. Score was 60 in just 8 overs with loss of just 1 wicket. Captain Jatinder bowled Nawaz with a beautiful yorker and brought TMCC back in the game. With Shehan Jaisuriya not playing for Afghan Zwanan, Majid was the man who could play a long inning. Jatinder was bowling good, but stopped himself and brought Raju Pratap on attack who got Majid out few times before. Raju bowled to the plan and got Majid’s wicket. After Majid’s wicket, No Afghan Zwanan batsman could build the inning. Raju and Gurpreet both had a good bowling partnership where Raju got 4 wickets and Gurpreet completed his overs with 3 wickets. TMCC won the low scoring match by 74 runs.

Top performers from TMCC
Harpreet Singh - 82 runs
Vijei Kuumar (Raju) - 9-3-19-4

Some brilliant bowling performance by Josh Hazlewood

TMCC continued their winning streak last weekend with 2 T20 wins in the same day.

The day didn't start brightly against Hayward Lions when they were reduced to 59-5 at the end of the 10th over. But some clean hits from Karamveer Singh and Piyush holding the other end, they both put together 64 off 43 balls for the 6th wicket. Karamveer finished with 66*(43) and TMCC with 141-8 - a below par score on the small Anthony 1 ground, where teams have often scored close to and more than 200.

However, TMCC bowling is known to show up every game and show up they did. Trinath got things going with a wicket off the very 2nd ball of the innings before Jagdeepak Singh got the big fish - Sher Ali with a beautiful ball, which was followed after being hit for 2 sixes by Sher. Jatinder and Raju stiffled Hayward Lions in the middle overs as they have done in the past against many other oppositions. Jatinder and Raju finished with 4-19 and 3-16 from their 4 overs, which helped TMCC bowl out Hayward Lions for 99.

The bowling continued showing its magic in the 2nd game against SJ Everyoung. Trinath and Jagdeepak started well before Trinath stuck twice in the powerplay to get TMCC off to a good start. But, Pratham played a beautiful innings with some classy shots all around the ground to score 65 off 50 before he came Trinath's 3rd victim, who finished with 3-15 off his 4. Everyoung got to 143 thanks to some good hitting lower down the order. But, the TMCC bowling line up had done well once again.

Jatinder got TMCC underway in the chase with 40 off 26, which included 4 sixes before other batsmen chipped in with 20s. Jagdeepak finished off his good day with a very well played 41 off 28 to win the game for TMCC.

Afghan Zwanan All Stars vs Twelfth Man Cricket Club
This was an important game for both the teams to continue the momentum. TMCC won the toss and decided to put the runs on the board. The start couldn’t be any better when Sourabh smashed the first three balls of the game for four and that showed the intent from TMCC. He played some beautiful shots before falling for 41 off 34. Karamveer Singh and Piyush batted cautiously to ensure the middle order wasn’t exposed early. Bubby Rayber, who seems to be the answer to TMCC’s middle order struggles off late, smashed 42 off 26, which included amazing cricket shots all around the ground.
Jagdeepak Singh picked up where he left against Panthers in the previous game and scored run a ball 39, which included 2 big sixes. We were 210-5 in 35 overs. Everything was going according to plan. We were set to score big in last 10 overs with 2 set batsmen on the crease and Jatinder Singh who was top scorer in 2019 summer season still to come. However, Zabit got 2 big wickets of Jagdeepak Singh and Jatinder Singh in 36th. The lower order failed to capitalize and TMCC was bundled out for 230 with Kamal left stranded at one end. We were surely short of 20-30 runs as we were up against the team with so much depth in their batting.
All Stars started their chase with Majid hitting Kamal for a 6 off the very first ball and a first wicket partnership of 54. However, that happiness was short lived once Pratap Raju waved his magic wand and sent 4 All Stars batsmen packing in a space of 15 balls. From looking good in the chase at 54-0, All Stars were reeling at 61-4 thanks to a great spell of spin bowling from Raju. Gurpreet Singh kept the pressure from the other end to compliment Raju and got his well deserved wicket when Rahul pulled off a Dhoni-like stumping to have All Stars reeling at 75-5. The lower order did its bit to make sure All Stars were still in the game with Skanda playing a very sensible inning at one end to finish not out on 65 with All Stars getting to 219 in the end. Jatinder and Kuldip picked up a wicket each as well. Bubby picked up two important wickets. Raju rightly got the Man of the Match award for turning the game on its head with his spell of 9-3-13-4.

USA Cricket advertises 3 new job opportunities with National Governing Body - USA Cricket USA Cricket is pleased to announce today the advertisement of 3 new full-time positions in USA Cricket at the new headquarters of the National Governing Body in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our captain Jatinder Singh who is MVP and best batsman for both 45 overs and t20 league. He is also number 3 on the list for top wicket takers in t20 and number 8 for 45 overs league. It was good to see him back in action as he was out for half of the 2018 summer and whole winter season. Here are some of his stats from summer season

45 overs league

13 matches: 574 runs and took 21 wickets

T20

11 matches: scored 579 runs and took 21 wickets(includes one hatrick)

We ended up as runners-up in 45 overs league in Bay Area Cricket Alliance. We missed the championship by just 5 points. It was a tough season to start with as our Key player Keyshore patel was moving back to India. Sundeep Khandpur got injured beginning of the season and captain Jatinder was also returning almost after 6 months. We had a really bad winter season, so it was definitely going to be difficult for us to get over everything. Some new players joined during the season. We enjoyed every single match and played majority of the games with same players (of course it will hurt us in the playoffs). Our captain Jatinder Singh scored 574 runs to become best batsman and MVP. Jagdeepak Singh scored 431 runs and mostly in pressure situations. Pratap Raju was most consistent bowler with 24 wickets with economy of just 3.8
Special thanx to Keyshore Patel who helped us during our tough times. We would have definitely become champions if you were in the team😋
