The Sunday 1’s lined up in an internal trial against the Sunday 2’s with a whole load of new faces – 6 newcomers to the club and the return of the ‘Great One’ Trevor Ashworth. It was unknown how the guys would go, but it was a bright sunny day for cricket and we were positive despite losing the toss and being sent out in the field. Willow and Dave Hadaway opened up and we kept things extremely tight with the early season long grass in the Putney outfield aiding our cause. Willow struck early on, and after 15 overs they were struggling at 1/28. New boy Matt McKinnon bowled well at first change and although a bit rusty was unlucky not to get a wicket. Meanwhile Sully at the other end did his usual trick of enticing the batsmen to try and hit out. On a slow deck this proved fatal and he picked up 2 wickets and they were 3 for not many. A partnership beckoned, however Kevin Richardson in his debut for the club took 3 wickets in 3 overs and we were looking in a good position. Mitch Proudfoot – yet another debutant – took over at the other end with his offspin, and despite coming in for a little bit of stick, extracted some good turn and cleaned up the tail. He finished with 4/21 and opposition all out for 111. In perfect cricket conditions we began our chase with Ed Quigley and Mitch opening the batting. After a couple of overs settling in, the runs started to flow and we raced to 85 for no loss from 15 overs. Mindful of the need for some match practice for all, the 2 batsmen retired – Mitch on 49 (he could have hit the last ball for a single!) and Ed for 25. The bowling tightened up after that, however some of the guys spent some valuable time in the middle and we cruised to 4/118 off 25 overs before calling it a day. Great all round performance in the field – a highlight being Trev taking a catch ‘running’ back with the flight of the ball - and some very good batting to chase down the target comfortably. |
