|
Studley was the venue for Barnards Green
2nds penultimate league game of the season and with just 10 men, skipper
Marek Wajzer elected to insert the home team on a good wicket with a massive
boundary. The opening attack of Kingsley Warren and Sam Bradley started
well restricting the Studley openers to under 2 an over for the first 7
overs, but then their discipline slipped and runs came fast and furious.
Harry Pleass was introduced to the attack, but he suffered the same severe
punishment being unable to find a line and length. The introduction of
guile and experience in the form of John Sherliker and Robin Longmore
restored some order and Sherliker soon had the batsmen in all sorts of
trouble with his unique leg spin and googlies and he finished with excellent
figures of 8 overs 4 for 14 including the key wicket of Palmer adjudged LBW
by his team-mate. At the other end Longmore 1 for 30 kept the runs down and
had skipper Bray well stumped by 13 year old Ashlea Brewer who finished with
three stumpings and a well taken catch to finish his season in imperious
style. At the other end Dave Price dropped straight on a length and picked
up two useful wickets. Sam Bradley returned to bowl three tight overs at
the end of the innings. Studley finished on 158 off their allotted overs
when a score of 250 plus looked likely at one stage. |
