After last weeks "apparent" wet pitch at
Penzance it was nice to get back on to the pitch to play. Down to
10 men due to lots of other commitments, Vice Capt Brad Bury won the
toss and elected to bat on a lovely sunny day against visitors Mount
Ambrose. A new opening partnership was born today as Tim Oliver made
his debut alongside waif Ronnie Williams. The pair saw off the new
ball (so they claimed), however, in the 6th over, Williams played
a long hop on to his own stumps - 15-1. Bonnett joined Oliver at the
crease and steadied the ship with some thoughtful batting. Oliver's
innings lasted until the 15th over when he flashed at a wide one and
was well caught in the slips, 28-2. JJ Walker joined Boo and the pair
started scoring freely with boundaries a plenty - Boo scoring a rare
six! Walker was next to go for 33 with 77 on the board, Kev Oliver
then showed his dad how to bat at The Bottoms, scoring a well deserved
42 before being caught out. The score had been pushed up to 134 at
this stage and this was where Mount started to fight back and contain
Port as they looked to increase the run rate. The tail failed to really
wag, but kept the Mount attack out as they managed to bat out the
48 overs, 173-9 was the final total. |
