A thrilling game, played in the right spirit throughout
saw the Roasters come out on top, snatching a tight 3 wicket win before
painting the town, and Big T's red. Or was it yellow?! Perhaps the
most surprising event of the day took place before a ball was bowled,
with the skipper, usually renowned as a useless tosser, winning his
4th spin on the bounce, and inserting the visitors on a grassy track,
albeit under cloudless skies. The decision looked a good one, when
in the 8th over Adam 'Oz' Young, bowling in white Bermuda shorts,
deceived Kevin Bosustow with a slower ball, an 'agricultural' chip
to Parish at mid on saw him depart with just 19 on the board. Young
had deceived Dale time and time again, and the introduction of 'upside
down head' Wristy Francis into 2nd slip paid dividends when Dale's
32 ball innings ended for just a single, followed in the next over
by Trevor Lee, finding Dunstan, one of the gulleys, departing for
a duck, Cif Carvelly the dominant force. Penetration proved difficult
from both ends, Pearson and Gray were difficult to move, but they
in turn found scoring difficult, Dunstan back from his tour rep job
in Afghanistan, skipped in to bowl his 6 overs, only falling flat
on his pretty face three times, 'Fiddy' Higgs and Parish tried from
the same end before eventually, in his 11th over, 'Halle' Bury finally
made the breakthrough, Higgs catching Pearson for 20, ending an 84
run partnership. As often happens Gray followed, playing on for 45.
Gilman and Hall added useful knocks of 24 and 16, but Young returned
to pick up his usual couple of 'rabbits', the innings ending at 165-9. |
