Axe falls on local cricket team Tuskers

The Moothee Ram Tuskers have been officially relegated back to Division 2. He said the entire team was shattered, including himself as one of the senior managers in the union.He said the Tuskers were quite unfortunate as management went all out to provide the required resources. “Yes, I am personally disappointed as I went out of my way to provide all resources to the coaches and the team.

It was up to them to execute and they didn’t do that,” Sathiaseelan said. The Tuskers played their last fixture of the season on Sunday against the Dafabet Warriors in the CSA One-Day Cup. Sathiaseelan said the Warriors performed better on the day.

“They were better than us on the day and deserved their win. We got off to a good start but once again the batters did not capitalise and turn their starts into a big innings and the middle order failed again,” he said. “We played good cricket in patches but did not get the desired results.

We need to reflect and build from that experience,” Sathiaseelan said. He added that the Tuskers did not have a full-strength team against the Warriors, with some regulars missing from the starting line-up, and that luck had also not been on their side.
