2nd XI v Haileybury

Result: Won by 8 wickets
Review: On the road once more, we bowled steadily. More importantly, the team took wickets at regular intervals, apart from their young opener who fell in the final over for a solid 58. There was a minor panic when their number 7 tucked in to some juicy bowling from Hutchinson and Sellers, and we might have had cause to regret our shoddy outfielding. Their last wicket fell on the final ball of the innings. Thorpe-Apps after an unusually untidy start ended with 3-18, and George Padfield a remarkable 3-13, with only one no-ball!

As against King’s the week before, we started steadily, with Padfield and Chris George putting on 70 for the first wicket: a sound foundation for Ben Latham and Jordan Lillie, who both played an array of shots – some fluent, others rather agricultural, but all very effective, to take the game away from our opponents. Both batsmen finished on 41* as we cruised to victory with 6 overs to spare – a highly satisfying day out.
Player of the match: Padfield (3-13 and 25)
