28th April 2002 Spencer holds nerve for last ball
BARNARDS GREEN SUNDAY 1ST v CHADDESLEY CORBETT 1ST New skipper Kevin Ratcliffe won the toss and elected to bat in
what was scheduled as a 40 over contest. Despite the early loss of Andy
Wheeler the Green made steady, if unspectacular progress, to reach 60-2 when
rain intervened. Following a lengthy delay, the game restarted but the home side
now had a total of only 35 overs in which to get a target. Following Kev
Golder's solid innings, Rich Williams led a good partnership with the
dependable Martin Heaton. Williams raced from 38 to 50 in two shots off Boden
before mistiming a return catch. Heaton fell to Truswell leaving Ratcliffe and Tim Williams with
the aid of an uppercut six off the pacey Kiwi, Blakeley, to take the Green to
a respectable 156-6. Tim William's opening over removed Fletcher and veteran Andy
Lamb removed Boden with the help of a good catch from Ratcliffe. Former Green
player Aussie Phil Divito and the aggressive Ted Bayliss then put an
excellent partnership together which took Chaddesley to 95-2 in good time. Rich Brown then induced a mis-timed drive to remove Bayliss and
Paul Drinkwater was rewarded with the prized wicket of Divito for a well made
52, before Phil Spencer yorked Phil Bayliss. Blakeley was joined by the prolific Kevin Truswell who with the
run rate now up to 5.8 an over immediately took 14 off an over to put the
visitors back in charge. Skipper Ratcliffe brought on Williams who bowled Truswell and
Spencer dismissed M Boden as Chaddesley needed six off the last four balls. This came down to four from the last but Spencer's nerve held as
Edwards could manage only two to leave the Green victors
by one run!
