BGCC Sunday 2nd XI vs Feckenham
Barnards Green 2nd XI gave a convincing all round performance last
Sunday in a game which saw them beat Feckenham by 9 wickets. Fielding
first the Green struggled slightly to begin with, both James Scullion
and Jamie Plant unable to dislodge the opening pair. The introduction of
Anshuman and the talented all rounder Ian Bryant slowed things down
significantly and the dangerous Bryant soon showed Page (41) what
happens when he gets hit for six, the stumps get destroyed. S. Haines
(14) was next to feel the wrath of Bryant as off stump cartwheeled away,
before Plant took a high catch, leaving Bryant with 3-29 off his 9
overs. Jamie Longmore was then entered into the attack, bowling with
venom and immediately caused the batsmen all sorts of problems. Longmore
was unlucky not to take a wicket, clipping off stump but not removing
the bail, only 22 streaky runs were conceded from his 9 overs however.
Overseas pace man Marek Wajzer bowled from the other end, taking the
wicket of the steady Daniels (26) who was well caught by Hill. J. Haines
foolishly dared to take on the mighty arm of Longmore from the boundary
and was run out after a superb throw to keeper Nick Rogers. Scullion
came back on at the end to bowl a tight spell and clean bowled
Blackshaw. A good all round fielding performance, including Dave
Marshall and Robin Longmore, who unfortunately had little else to do,
left Feckenham on 167 for 6 after 45 overs. | |
