As night foows day defeat number 6 for the mighty Wyre 2nd team, plus points we got past 50 mainly due to Gary Calvert bowling 10 wides in 2 overs although he did chip in with a wicket with his slow left arm filth. He did say he hadn't bowled for three years.
Of the 22 players who batted in the game only three got past 10 all for Charnock and it made the difference between the two sides.
Started off well after having lost the toss and having to bowl on a slate grey day with a stiff wind blowing straight down the pitch. Bond nicked the first ball behind and walked.
Yours truly was brought on after three overs as opening bowler Ian Amos damaged his shoulder in his first over. Immediately took a wicket with a looping full toss which Brown edged onto his wicket 19-2. Rithallia and Ball started to steady the ship with the former scoring the vast majority of his runs on the leg side, he was dropped off me before trying to sweep a straight delivery, Phil Weir chipped a deliveryback to me and we were almost back in the game however myself and Dave Lever had bowled our eight overs.
Matty Warburton came on a had several balls hit into the car park also dropped a catch so we were looking for a bowler to bowl 4 overs we had no other bowlers.
Ball and Roberts put on 76 before Roberts departed to a Steve Richards trunder, Anwar and skipper Ball took the score to 162 before Richards bowled Anwar, Richards also got Ball for 74 caught by the skipper who after bowling an in different spell finished the innings with a hat trick. All out 176
Me 3-26 Richards 3-35 Duffield 3-36.
The tempreture began to drop and the light got worse and we also lost a wicket from the first ball. A slow partnership by Powell and Duffield took us to 17 before the second wicket fell, like last week it was callapso cricket from us and we were 23-7 and 29-8 when Jimmy Bruce was out.
yself and Dave Lever eeked out some runs helped by the wides previously mentioned and got us above 50 before Dave Lever was out for 9. Jamie Hughes was last out with the total of 58. Apparently I scored three runs after the game was over actually made six appears in the book as 9 so I've got back the runs that were taken off me about four weeks ago.
Bowling wise Meadows took 3 -10 and Mr Unsure took 3-7.
Onwards and downwards Norcross away next
