On a day marked by hot, sultry weather and equally steaming hot cricket, a brand new cricketing rivalry was born. The Pirates of the St Lawrence vs Montreal Carribean Social Organisation (MCSO) encounter, played on the Monday of the Victoria Day weekend, brought to the fore a flurry of spectacular – if short-lived – batting and intense bowling. In the end, the Pirates won by 12 runs after being on the verge of being thrashed comprehensively.

Batting first, the Pirates scored 150 for 5 in 35 overs, led from the front by a solid 46 by acting skipper Filer. The scorecard was further bolstered by a pugnacious 28 by Palmer and a quickfire 25 not out by Roche. The 5 wickets that fell do an injustice to the MCSO attack, which was led by the Ambrose-esque Taylor.

MCSO started aggressively, with Weatherspoon taking 20 off the opening Pirates over bowled by Bhawalkar. However, the 6ft4 opening bowler, from what used to be known as Bombay, recovered to account for both openers. At drinks (14 overs), MCSO had scored 89 for 4 and seemed indomitable.

They did not, however, account for Patterson, who orchestrated a stunning collapse by castling both John and Simpson. Nerves were visibly affected on both sides, as a number of balls were mistimed and hit in the air only to be dropped. In addition, tight and penetrative bowling by the ever-reliable Sakrani ensured that the MCSO batsmen were tentative and hesitant. The offspinner from Laval used his doosras to great effect to snare 2 wickets. Amidst the collapse, Brown stood firm with 42 and Taylor briefly threatened the tourists with a quickfire 25.

Fittingly, the deal was sealed by a Jonty Rhodes-esque flying catch by Patterson.

As with all games played this season, there was exemplary camaraderie between the teams. In the post-game speeches, the hosts promised to visit and vanquish the Pirates on their home turf.
