2 weeks into the season and our first of many games against Sheen was underway. Losing the toss we were put into bat, Brett managing to mis-time a hook in the first over, fortunately however the fielder was still in off season mode and the catch was put down. That said, two balls later Ed is cleaned bowled and the following over Bret decides to hook again, but this time gloves one to the keeper.5 for 2 off 2. Fortunately Mike and Adam settled down and the innings was underway, a solid 26 for Mike before playing on. Will then enters the fray against quite possibly the most hostile and formidable pie chucker this side of Richmond Road. 3 dropped catches and 3 lost balls later Will is out for a very respectable 76 and Trevor is up. Adam then succumbs for 58, a very solid innings exactly what Putney needed at number 3. In the close of the innings Trevor manages to pull his calf (HF) and once again is immobilized for the rest of the game /season. Stephen (16) and Sourav (6) close out the innings. 211 for 7 In reply Sheen managed to put on 30 or so runs before the first wicket, the skipper taking a stunning up and under off the ever reliable and economical willow from the non sight screen end. Meanwhile Sourav kept things in shape only going for 2 an over, great tight bowling building the pressure on Sheen. Sheen however always remained in the game with some good batting from their number 3 and 5. Will replacing Malik from the sight screen end managed 3 for 57 including the 2 crucial wickets earning him the well deserved MOM award. With a target of between 6 and 7 an over for the remainder of the game Sheen were never out of it. Once again tight bowling from Mike (2 for 31) kept them at bay as did the non stop chat from Brett who took two very good catches at keeper. Ed finished off the game with a very respectable 3 for 26 including another stunning catch from the skipper, that one a real treat for the crowd. A well fought out win for Putney, a good platform for the season ahead. |
