Class tells like,
five fingers sprint,0 veterans win,0 JICC at Grainville
JERSEY’S cricket fans and players were treated to a display of sporting excellence at Grainville yesterday as sometime Test stars coiled back the years.

The Twenty20 match had many to offer, however in the end it was a comfortable seven-wicket victory for the visitors, forged by classy half centuries from Sri Lanka’s greatest ever batsman Arivinda de Silva and former England opener Bill Athey.
Good humoured throughout (JEP columnist Mark Saralis, as match commentator, spared no one his notable barbs), it was still competitive enough to keep the 500 or so who ignored the early morn rain nailed on the star-studded field.
The majority of the worldwide side were painted from England ranks quondam, bolstered along de Silva, worthwhile,0 representatives from match sponsors Barclays and PricewaterhouseCooopers, and one Chris Hill who paid £1,000 because the luster.
An eclectic mingle, but one that worked well, with Chris Hill apparently amused that his charitable contribution had ‘left me with something to narrate the grandchildren.’ That ’something’ included a worthy extravaganza in the field, including the wicket of JICC powerhouse Chris Scott, and seven runs as de Silva steered the observers to the 156-run target with an over and a half remaining.
The hard-hitting Scott, too, left the field at the end well satisfied with the day, having beat,0 33 escapes scampers.
The batsman, reaching veteran status, said: ‘I’m of the same generation as maximum of the internationals and they are heroes of mine.
Hopefully, the adolescents in the JICC know . lot more about them immediately.
Take Bill Athey, I saw him score a ton once and he hasn’t lost it � his six was one of the biggest I’ve ever penetrated at Grainville.
A excellent experience for me and the repose of the team, who made it competitive.’ Athey too enjoyed his beat, although he’d no agree to any preparation past ‘those 5 hours in the nets/bar final night.’ The JICC, faced with former England international bowlers of the class of Gladstone Small, John Lever, Mark Ilott, Peter Such and David Capel, did well to obtain,0 a 155 absolute for five wickets from their 20 overs, with Tom Minty top-scoring with an wonderful 37 before being bowled by de Silva.
The answer, opened by Athey, and Naveed Rafique of PricewaterhouseCoopers, was solid with the bowling highlight being Bobby Minty’s stumping of Athey off the bowling of Andy Brown.
The openers scored 57 and 26 respectively to secure a obtaining platform.
But it was fitting, no one would veto, that it was Sri Lankan de Silva that was to the fore when the match was resolved, his unbeaten 55 including some delightful strokeplay that was worthy of a man who will long be remembered as one of the world’s altitude batsmen.

MBT (Masai Barefoot Technology) was born in 1996 when we discovered that natural instability can have positive effects on the human body. We made this discovery by observing the wonderfully agile Masai people walking barefoot on natural, uneven ground. Seeing these people in action made us realize that the human body is simply not designed to walk or stand on the hard, flat surfaces of modern society. So we set out to develop a new kind of footwear, one that would mimic walking on soft, uneven ground. The results have been dramatic and revolutionary. MBTs are now sold in more than 55 countries around the world and many enthusiastic users enjoy wearing MBTs.
When Vibram founder, Vitale Bramani, invented the first rubber soles for mountaineering boots in 1935, it was the beginning of a revolution. Now 75 years later, Vibram is still known around the world as the undisputed leader in soling technology for a wide range of quality performance footwear products. Vibram manufactures more than 34 million soles annually for more than 1,000 premium footwear brands worldwide.
