Under sunny skies, with gusting winds and a blistering 8 degrees, Emery played their second match against a combined Universities team. This time, the Universities team boasted a combination of York, University of Toronto and McMaster.
Emery winning the toss, chose to field. They were strengthened by the availability of all rounder Karan Bhatti and batsman Japjit Singh. Karan bowled without much help from the Astroturf wicket, but still managed some turn and bounce, bowling a respectable 4 overs, 2 wickets and garnering only 15 runs. The combined Universities batting managed to reach 72 runs with Mohit Punjabi top scoring with 14 runs followed by Sahil Kesar who contributed 11 runs. Overall, Emery bowling seemed to be on target with only 13 extras. Chasing 73 runs for victory, Emery set about their task in high spirits. Japjit Singh made 16 runs followed by Karan Bhatti’s 11. Some creative batting by Riday ‘Bangla Babu’ Sarkar who stayed in the wicket with Hummad Khan. Hummad decisively struck a well placed boundary that raced past the long off fieldsman to secure the win. This time around, with some good field placing and kept the extras down forced a well deserved 3 wicket victory.
Full marks go to both teams for playing in the spirit of the game and a positive attitude. A special mention goes to McMaster’s Amit Bhandari, with only one arm fielded better than most people with 2 who and kept his team’s morale high. Photos and tournament summary will follow.
The final match is slated for Tuesday 1st May 2012. Keep playing with a straight bat!

Jon has since passed the responsibility onwards to capable hands and was instrumental in guiding me along to my chosen career. I am now a Police Officer attached to 31 Division, Toronto Police Service. Currently, I am a School Resource Officer (SRO) posted at Emery Collegiate Institute in the Weston and Finch community; I have been in this position for the past year and a half. The school has about 1200 full time students and also houses an Adult Learning Centre with approximately the same number of continuing education students. Earlier this month, I was approached by a former Emery student who was a member of the Boys team competing in the Toronto and District Schools tournament. I had previously coached the team last year, but unfortunately the season was rained out. This student, Sahil Kesar, is now studying at York University. He came to me with the idea that we should organize a tournament between students from York and the Emery Boys team. A few emails later, Sahil and I reached an agreement that we can make this an event with a Challenge shield to be permanently housed at Emery Collegiate. On the latest show, situation vacant, Michael Dighton quits as coach of Canada, so where does the national team turn now for its next leader? Also this week, the ICC meets to discuss the Wolfe Report, the talking will continue, but will the game’s rulers embrace any meaningfull change in the way the game is run?
