Chaddesley
Corbett vs Barnards Green 2nds On sunday
Barnards Green 2nds travelled to Chaddesley Corbett on a warm and sunny
afternoon. On a pitch with variable bounce, a young Green attack in the
form of Sam Spencer and Jamie Longmore made the openers struggle for their
runs with Spencer bowling particularly well. His one wicket off eight
overs was not a true reflection of his excellent line and length. A
good catch by Kevin Golder in the covers also gave Jamie one wicket off his 8
overs. The introduction of Dick Brown to the attack kept the opposition
interested with a mixture of guile, long hops and full tosses, Dick picked up
three wickets. A brilliant run out by the ageless Robin Longmore saw
the demise of the dangerous TAYLOR and the introduction of Kevin Golder, Dave
Price and Phil Spencer saw the runs dry up and wickets tumble to leave
Chaddesley all out for 99. |
BARNARDS
GREEN SUNDAYv CHADDESLEY CORBETT BARNARDS Green began their Sunday
fixtures with a home game against Chaddesley Corbett.On winning the toss, the
Green elected to bat on a warm afternoon. On a pitch with lower than normal
bounce they made a steady start with openers Chris Hill and Simon Cooke
putting on 40 for the first wicket. This brought the Green's latest New
Zealander Jono Boult to the wicket to hit a quickfire 25 before becoming the
victim of a smart stumping by Da Costa. Tim Williams and Kevin Ratcliffe fell
cheaply but Tim Clarke (44) and Dave White took the total well past 100.
Towards the end of the innings Duncan Bell (13no) and 14-year-old Phil Harris
batted well. The innings closed on 173 all out. Pick of the bowlers being
Evans, 3-13, and Perry with 4-14. In reply Chaddesley lost S
Boden to the first ball of the innings, caught at slip off Lee Hooper, and
with Duncan Bell bowling tightly at the other end they posed problems for the
top order.Hooper picked up three wickets, young Phil Harris came on and
bowled five overs for 16. Boult picked up three wickets at the other end. Tim
Williams and Tim Clarke came on and used their experience bowling in evening
league to keep runs to a minimum. The vocal support on the boundary sensed
victory as Boult picked up a further two wickets and Tim Clarke a well deserved
wicket, aided by a brilliant catch from Hooper. Barnards Green won by 14
runs. |
