The Toos game second Twenty20 game of the season
was moved to the school ground at
The toss was lost and Welly’s elected to bat. We
were a bit slow off the mark and weren’t really properly prepared to start the
game and consequently they were 36 for 0 after 3. We then settled down and
bowled and fielded relatively well for the next 10 or 12 overs and were in a
strong position when we had them at 127 for 4 after 15
overs.
Unfortunately we lost our way a bit towards the
end and Welly’s scored more freely in the last 5 overs however this is only to
be expected on a ground where the straight boundaries are just behind the
bowlers’ run up marker.
Welly’s finished on 194 for 7 off their allotted
20. Keeping Welly’s to this score was a reasonable effort on the school pitch.
200 had seemed like about a par score given the unique scoring conditions at the
school.
Useful bowling performances from Dogga Dean (4
overs 2 for 30) and Craig Scott (4 overs 1 for
30).
Unfortunately the rains came down heavily and
the mat never dried out enough to start again.
In a shortened fine session the following awards
were given out:
Play of the Day – Shannon’s first stumping for
the 2’s
COTD – Steve Smith (one over none for
26)
MOM – McGrath (4 overs 2 for
19)
The teams shared one point each and we move on
to play Pro Plus next Saturday at
