Match Review: Saturday 14th of February

Wanderers 10/168 def by Imperials 8/170.

After losing the toss the boys were sent in to bowl. Starting off strong with some good spells from Lukas and Henry who had wickets flowing and bowling tight lines. After drinks it was the Henry show, where he kept the pressure on picking up 5 for the match. Some handy wickets from James G and Daniel helped bowl wanderers out 168.

The boys were off to a flyer with the bat with Lukas and Ash holding down a great partnership with the boys being 1 wicket down for 100 at drinks. Lukas fell just after his 50 with Ash still in holding the fort down until he fell for 60. After a small collapse it was Henry and Kade who stood tall and got us over the line to knock over the top of the table.

Key Performers:
Henry Hameister 5/33
Lukas Wright 2/26

Ash Schutt 60
Lukas Wright 58

Monarto 129 def by Imperials 5/130.

The toss was lost and the boys got sent in to bowl first. We saw some tight bowing from the openers, keeping the runs to a minimum. Late in the innings with hard work, Ben Pope took some crucial wickets to keep the score to a low total of 129.

After a shakey start Ash and Justin steadied the ship by putting on a handy partnership. Ash fell for a well made 40. After losing some quick wickets, Ben Pope and Lukas Wright finished the game with Lukas hitting the winning runs; healping the team over the line.

Key Performers:

Ben Pope 3/27
Henry Bouts 2/2

Ash Schutt 40
Lukas Wright 34*
