SKK win nail biting SM50 game against FPC
FPC vs SKK 19.6.2010
After some threatening forecasts during the week, the weather proved to be surprisingly good. The Ruskeasuo ground looked a little damp on the surface but in very good shape otherwise. Our new mat had played well during the T20 game on Tuesday and consistently, if a little bouncily during the Friday net session. In all, it looked like a bat-first sort of day.
Nadeem of FPC won the toss, however, and decided to have a bat. We were down to ten men and did not look too strong in the batting, so I thought that we would have to restrict them to under 200 to have any chance of winning. The first two overs by cousins Madhu and Bikal did not promise too much: plenty of extras and 15 runs on the board. What happened after this was pretty incredible.

SKK sneak past SuperKings in T20
Open T20 - Tuesday 1st June at Ruskeasuo
Vantaa Super Kings all out 140 in 19.5 overs
SKK 143 for 6 in 19.3 overs
Running late to an unprepared ground at Ruskeasuo last Tuesday evening wasn't one of the best starts to the first game of the T20 competition as captain. Particularly as the toss was automatically handed to VSK who elected to bat first and with Fahad and Rhanja smashing our opening attack of Madhu (0-21 off 2) and Seb (0-18 off 2) and then the second change of myself and Yathu to all parts of Ruskeasuo.

Hot Helsinki down brave SKK to go top of SM50
SM 50 - Saturday 29th May at Ruskeasuo
SKK 162 all out in 42.4 overs
Helsinki CC 165-3 in 27.2 overs
To be fair SKK have had stronger batting line-ups on paper in the past, yet on a cool and cloudy Saturday morning at Ruskeasuo there was no denying that this SKK team wanted to have a crack at a strong Helsinki line-up full of FCA national team stars. After winning the second coin toss as captain, I elected to bat and since no team in SM50 in 2010 has yet batted out their full 50 overs the challenge was laid out to the SKK lads to step up and bat out the full over allocation.
