Another lost toss and another opportunity to utilise the new ball. On a pitch that looked like it had a bit in it we were surprised to be in the field. A fantastic opening spell from Jon Jarrett (1/24) and Will Middleton (2/29) saw us well on top as Morden struggled to 1/ off 14 overs this included the obligatory dropped catches. As the bowling changed the batting picked up and more chances went to ground. Morden were soon upto 4 an over and we needed a few wickets. Thankfully they came through Chinny (3/33) and we stemmed the flow of runs. The tail end picked the score up again and we were eventually chasing 212 to win. The chase started well with Julian(26) and Chris Donovan (19) getting us to 53 before Chris was run out by a direct hit. Julian was bowled next ball and Mallick bowled second ball of the next over. Nick went in and out 2 balls later and we had managed to go from 53/0 to 53/4. Thankfully 2 new boys Will (53*) and Chinny (64) steadied the ship and laid the platform for a great fight back with a 93 run partnership. We still required 5.5 runs an over for the last 12 overs. Another couple of wickets fell and it looked like we were going to let the game slip. Adil (30*) made a huge impact off about 15 balls and swung the game in our favour and finished the game with a huge six. A great effort from everyone especially Will and Chinny with both bat and ball. We must try and improve our catching as we have learnt from previous years you can’t afford to drop any batsmen let alone on numerous occasions. Well done guys and lets look forward to more victories. |
