Jude - We will learn from this for the next one

Man of the match Jude Mudannayke was interviewed after the Sunday’s defeat against Bristol Malayalees. You can read a full transcript of his interview below:

on his thoughts about the game…
The game as a whole I feel was a good one for the team. We started quite poorly with both openers dismissed for 0 but I think Saad, Yameen and myself held the batting together well and managed to dig ourselves out of a hole. Unfortunately one of us couldn't go on and bat the 40 overs.

on his game plan when batting at No.3…
The thing is when you bat at no.3 you need to be prepared for all situations; the team could be 0/1 for or 100/1 it is about adapting to the situation. If you look at the best number 3s around the world they do that very well. Today when I walked in it was case of stringing partnerships and breaking down 40 overs into small segments. Setting small targets and achieving them along the way for a big score.

Friendly (40 over): WFCC vs Bristol Malayalees, Match Report & Scorecard

Bristol Malayalees (183 for 8) beat Western Flyers (182 all-out) by 2 wickets.


The opposition termed it a pre-season warm up however for WFCC it was the official kick off to the 2015 summer of cricket! Cold, wet and windy weather doesn’t suggest summery conditions although such conditions have become the norm for every season opener at this time of year.

The toss
Shehan Somaratna skippered in the absence of Club Captain Atiqur Rahman. It wasn’t clear who actually won the toss; it seemed WFCC were offered the chance to bat first given the lateness of one player which was then followed by the actual toss which one can assume was won by the BMCC skipper who decided to field.
