October 11, 2003: On a beautiful day, ideal for day/night cricket, five teams from Tennessee competed for '2003 Music City Tennis Ball Cricket' championship. MCC Tigers and Grizzles travelled from Memphis to participate, where as NCC Seamers, Panthers and Nashville Internationals have players from local cricket clubs. The tournament was seven a side with 8 overs per side format and played with taped tennis ball.

The first match started around 12:30PM between Seamers and Grizzles. In the first innings the spectators got to see an excellent display of batting from Seamer's batsmen. Seamers accumulated 150 runs in 8 overs with Qandil scoring 64. Seamers won the match by huge margin. In the second match Tigers beat Panthers.

Biggest surprise of the day was when local favorites Seamers lost to Tigers, and were not able to reach the finals.

Final was played under lights. The setup with a little fog over the baseball field created a good scenery. Nashville International batted first, Lyder batted very well and Internationals accumulated a pretty decent total of 83 runs. Tigers started well and kept of scoring at a decent run rate. Match got pretty exciting when Tigers needed 10 runs in the last over. With bowler bowling a couple of no-score deliveries, Tigers needed 3 runs on the last ball that they scored with nice cover drive.

MCC Tigers won the tournament by one wicket. Nashville Cricket Club's President Naveed khan presented the winning award check to Tiger's Captain Ijaz, best batsman award to Majid from Tigers and man of the match award for final to Khawer.

Nashville Cricket Club is thankful for Metro Nashville for providing baseball field for the tournament.
