The Hungarian team started their promising journey on the 19th of October and landed safely. We met our ambassador Mr. Paul Bradley who helped us a lot through the weekend. The team went straight to the ground and enjoyed the wonderful set up of the Marsa Cricket Club. In first match Russia won the toss and put us in to batting first. Abhishek Kheterpal ( 79 ) and Khaibar Deldar ( 85 ) had sensational innings giving an amazing entertainment to the crowd, with having a stylish finish from Mark Ahuja with his quick boundaries.

Last Weekend, Croatia, Hungary and Poland played a tri-nations tournament at GB Oval. Despite the chilly weather, all four games were conducted in great spirits. Hungary (86/0) beat Croatia's (83/ao) in the first game, reaching their score in a mere 10 overs. Then, on a winning streak, they also defeated Poland ( Hungary 189/4, Poland 111/ao). The third game of the tournament, beween the two visitors was also held on the first day, due to a fear of bad weather on Sunday. Poland (190/7) beat Croatia (155/5) by 35 runs.

We are happy to receive Croatia and Poland for a friendly T20 tournament this weekend. Teams are all ready, weather forecast is fair, no rain is expected, so nothing can stop some serious cricket. Even our flood affected GB Oval is ready now after a full day of community work of dedicated cricketers. All 3 national teams will play 2 matches, and the best two will decide the cup in a final on sunday.

Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff premiered last week in the Hungarian State Opera, where one of the major characters - Fenton - happens to be a cricketer. Fenton's costume was provided by and his design was consulted with the Hungarian Cricket Association.

A total of 28 cricketers of all ages and abilities gathered for a fun and friendly day of cricket at KAC Budapest on Sunday 8 September. Three teams were featured playing each other in three Twenty20 matches (though the last game was shortened slightly to 15 overs a side in order to finish before it got too dark).
