After Barnes bottled the local derby after hearing our recent win against Roehampton we played a Sutton team ready to fill the void. Captain Brook showed great leadership from the start through flipping well and not losing the toss and we chose to bat. Wibbers and gascon poisson opened up making the decision look great by finding the boundary with ease. Ross offering up his weekly chip to mid off but surviving. Ross fell for 11 and wibbers accumulated a quick 34, Malan steadied the ship but saw wicked fall the other end whilst we plodded to 85-6 off 24 with Shaw, Snyman, Hill and ritwick all falling cheaply and making it look very hard out there. In comes MOM Gus to take back control, smashing 79 off around 35 anchored by malan on 77. The bowl was despatched around the ground, including a lovely reverse sweep and mixer off the lamppost for Gus to bring up a 147 run partnership for the 7th - 230 set. Their skipper said it was too much but Barnes short boundaries keeps anyone in the game. Proccy and Gus opened up, both openers looked handy with one despatching with ease. Gus got the big breakthrough and 1 brought 2 - Gus carried on and was on fire dismissing their number 4 with ease for a duck. Their other opener freed his arms and was unfortunately dropped on around 35 - he smashed his way to 87 afterwards. Brook bowled well for his 3fer and a sharp run out from Snyder along with controlled quicks from Thomas (2-47) had them 152/9 - after the strike bowlers tried and failed to dismiss there 9 and 11 we turned to our back up bowler (poor captaincy being murmured around the field/poor bowling by Brook) we turned to ritwik and keeper Lewis, the short boundary being found on occasion Snyman (on debut) raised his hand for a bowl - no ball, 4, NB,NB, dot and (with Brook sweating) the wicket ball came with Molan taking the catch - in the clubhouse by 6 (should have been 5) but a good win for the Sundays 1s. MoM - Gus - a putney top score of 79* and3 top order wickets TFC Ritwak - 1st baller Champagne - Gus - reverse scoop DDJ - Doug - not bringing footwear |
