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)
