Den Pilgrims, passend unter ihrer Oxford-Absolventin Tina als Kapit\u00e4n, war es egal, wo sie gegen ihre Freizeitgegner antraten. Es w\u00fcrde in jedem Fall eine k\u00f6nigliche Erfahrung werden. Nicht an eindrucksvoll gut gepflegte Rasenpitches, endlose Spielfelder, herrlichen Nachmittagssonnenschein und Gegner gew\u00f6hnt, die weder von Square Leg noch von Point einen \u201eAppeal\u201c vorbringen, geno\u00df die deutsche Mannschaft ihr Spiel auf englischem Boden durch und durch. Das Ergebnis, Camden gewann mit 42\u00a0Runs, spielte keine echte Rolle. Jeder Pilgrim, au\u00dfer Keeper Daniel, bekam mindestens ein Over zu bowlen; die Spieler durften solange schlagen, wie sie sich auf dem Platz halten konnten \u2012\u00a0was mehr kann man von einem Cricketspiel verlangen?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-549\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-1024x552.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0283\" width=\"640\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-768x414.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Die Pilgrims bowlten zuerst und ihnen gelang ein eindrucksvoller Start: Nach 3\u00a0Overs hatten Tina (4\u20111\u201113\u20112) und Steve (7\u20111\u201137\u20112) beide Er\u00f6ffnungsspieler beseitigt, und Camden standen auf 3 f\u00fcr 2. W\u00fcrden die Gegner hier \u00fcberrollt? Nein, Camden Casuals Kapit\u00e4n Hugo hatte nur die normale Battingreihenfolge ver\u00e4ndert; das n\u00e4chste Paar, H.\u00a0Bately (50*) und S.\u00a0Robinson (52*) wollte nicht weichen. Und obwohl die Pilgrims sich viel M\u00fche gaben, insbesondere im Feld, wo sie vielen B\u00e4llen nachrannten, J\u00fcrgen beinahe ph\u00e4nomenal einen Ball fing und Thomas stilvoll mit Hut auf dem Kopf zum Ball glitt, fiel das n\u00e4chste Wicket erst im 30.\u00a0Over. Mark\u00a0R. hielt sicher eine Bogenlampe auf Square Leg, die von Moritz\u2018 allererstem Ball in England kam, und Daniel fand \u00fcberrascht einen abgef\u00e4lschten Ball von Tinas Bowling in seinen Keeper-Handschuhen. Am Ende erreichte Camden einen soliden Punktestand von 182 f\u00fcr 5. Dann war es Zeit f\u00fcr Tee, Sandwiches und etwas ERDINGER Bier, das Nick freundlicherweise vor dem Spiel von der Jugendherberge in Cambridge abgeholt hatte.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-548\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"20170521_135520\" width=\"640\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Die Er\u00f6ffnungsspieler der Pilgrims, Cam und Moritz, begannen ihr Innings wie Feuer und Eis. Nach 11\u00a0Overs, als ihre Partnerschaft 50\u00a0Runs erreichte, hatte Cam l\u00e4ssig 48 beigetragen, w\u00e4hrend Moritz immer noch auf 2 mauerte, allerdings in der pr\u00e4chtigeren Kleidung \u2012\u00a0er spielte in seiner Clubjacke. Ein Wechsel der Bowler hatte schlie\u00dflich Erfolg, und V.\u00a0Chandrasakaran (7\u20112\u201123\u00a02) ergatterte den ersten Scalp der Pilgrims. Nur Cam (56*) und Steve (52*) schafften es, zweistellige Zahlen zu erreichen. Ein ungl\u00fccklicher Run-Out trug zum Niedergang der Pilgrims bei. W\u00e4ren da noch 5\u00a0Overs f\u00fcr Cam und Steve gewesen, und h\u00e4tten Bianca und Tom nicht ihren Zug erreichen m\u00fcssen, dann h\u00e4tten die G\u00e4ste das Ziel vielleicht erreicht. So blieben sie auf 140 f\u00fcr 7, aber alle waren sich einig: Es war ein \u00e4u\u00dferst angenehmer und zufriedenstellender, wenn nicht k\u00f6niglicher Cricket-Nachmittag gewesen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-547\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image4-e1496859178445.jpg\" alt=\"image4\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image4-e1496859178445.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image4-e1496859178445-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Die Spieler zogen sich um und kamen mit Zuschauern und Anhang in der Abendsonne vor dem Clubhaus zusammen, wo man sich freundlich unterhielt und noch ein ERDINGER Bier verzehrte. Am Ende dankte der Pr\u00e4sident der Pilgrims allen anwesenden Mitgliedern des Camden CC f\u00fcr ihren Einsatz, den Besuch in Cambridge zu solch einer besonderen Erfahrung zu machen. Er \u00fcberreichte Kapit\u00e4n Hugo und Organisator Nick Heligoland Pilgrims\u2018 einzigartige Cambridge-Tour-2017-Badet\u00fccher, die freundlicherweise von Nabeel und Henrik gesponsert worden waren. Im Gegenzug erhielt er die alte M\u00fctze des ehemaligen Kapit\u00e4ns der ersten Mannschaft, die inzwischen desinfiziert wurde und f\u00fcr die Nachwelt eingerahmt werden wird. Einige der Pilgrims fuhren gl\u00fccklich heim. Die \u00fcbrigen Pilgrims blieben, um das 44.\u00a0Cambridge Bierfestival zu besuchen. Und es war keine echte \u00dcberraschung, da\u00df sie einige ihrer Gegner auf dem Festival wiedertrafen \u2012\u00a0besser h\u00e4tte man die gro\u00dfartige Tour nicht feiern k\u00f6nnen, prost!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-546\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image2-e1496859219228.jpg\" alt=\"image2\" width=\"611\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image2-e1496859219228.jpg 611w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image2-e1496859219228-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><strong>Heligoland Pilgrims:<\/strong> Tina (cpt.), Bianca, Cam, Daniel (wk), J\u00fcrgen, Leo, Mark B.

The Pilgrims, fittingly captained by their Oxford graduate Tina, did not mind where they played their casual opponents. It was going to be a royal experience in any event. Not used to remarkably well-kept turf pitches, endless outfields, glorious afternoon sunshine and opponents who neither appeal from square leg nor from point, the German team thoroughly enjoyed cricket on English soil. The result, Camden won by 42 runs, did not really matter. Every Pilgrim, apart from keeper Daniel, got to bowl at least one over; the players could bat as long as they would stay at the crease \u2013 what more can you ask from a cricket match?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-549\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-1024x552.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0283\" width=\"640\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DSC_0283-e1496858946387-768x414.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Pilgrims bowled first and got off to a spectacular start: After 3 overs Tina (4-1-13-2) and Steve (7-1-37-2) had removed both openers and Camden were 3 for 2. Would this be a roll-over? No, Camden Casuals captain Hugo had just changed their regular batting order; the next pair, H. Bately (50*) and S. Robinson (52*) would not budge. And although the Pilgrims tried hard, especially in the field where they chased many a ball, J\u00fcrgen almost held a phenomenal catch and Thomas slid for the ball in style with his hat on, the next wicket only fell in the 30th over. Mark R. safely caught a skier at square leg off Moritz\u2019s very first ball in England, and Daniel was surprised to find an edged ball off Tina\u2019s bowling in his keeping gloves. At last Camden reached a solid total of 182 for 5. Then it was time for tea, sandwiches and some ERDINGER beer which Nick had kindly collected from the Cambridge youth hostel ahead of the match.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-548\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"20170521_135520\" width=\"640\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170521_135520-e1496859121602-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Pilgrims\u2019 openers, Cam and Moritz, started their innings like fire and ice. After 11 overs, when their partnership reached 50 runs, Cam had contributed an easy-going 48, whilst Moritz was still stonewalling on 2, albeit sporting more flamboyant attire \u2013 he was batting in his club blazer. A change of bowling did the trick at last and V. Chandrasakaran (7-2-23-2) got the Pilgrims\u2019 first scalp. Only Cam (56*) and Steve (52*) managed to reach double figures. An unlucky run-out contributed to the Pilgrims demise. Had there been another 5 overs for Cam and Steve, and had Bianca and Tom not had to catch the train, the visitors might have reached the target. So on 140 for 7 they fell short, but everyone agreed: It had been a delightful and satisfying, if not royal afternoon of cricket.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-547\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image4-e1496859178445.jpg\" alt=\"image4\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image4-e1496859178445.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image4-e1496859178445-300x152.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Players got changed and convened with spectators and supporters in the evening sun outside the club house for an amicable chat and another ERDINGER beer. Finally, the Pilgrims\u2019 president thanked all present members of Camden CC for their efforts in making their visit to Cambridge such a special experience. He presented captain Hugo and organizer Nick with Heligoland Pilgrims\u2019 unique Cambridge Tour 2017 towels, which had been kindly sponsored by Nabeel and Henrik. In return he was awarded the former captain of the first team\u2019s old cap which has now been fumigated and will be framed for posterity. Some of the Pilgrims departed home happily. The remaining Pilgrims went on to visit the 44th Cambridge Beer Festival. And it was no real surprise that they met some of their opponents at the festival again \u2013 what better way to celebrate a marvellous tour, cheers!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-546\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image2-e1496859219228.jpg\" alt=\"image2\" width=\"611\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image2-e1496859219228.jpg 611w, https:\/\/www.heligolandpilgrimscc.de\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/image2-e1496859219228-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heligoland Pilgrims:<\/strong> Tina (cpt), Bianca, Cam, Daniel (wk), J\u00fcrgen, Leo, Mark B.
