Excellent game of cricket today - well done to all the boys ... and parents for braving the freezing cold. The end scene very much reminded me of photos of Amundsen's trip to the south pole. Here is a photo of one of the parents watching the game today (Photo). The wind was, indeed, bitter and blew straight down the ground making bowling in to it extremely difficult (and I put this down as the excuse for quite a few wides!) - everyone had a go but, those that drew the short straw and had to bowl two overs in to it, will sleep well tonight.
Batting first, Colin's XII scored 104/8 in 35 overs. Sam Hinds (34 not out) and Matt Strain (19 not out) sharing a 50 plus partnership. The bowling was fast and fiery with Evan Cronje taking 2 for 1 in his 3 overs and Angus Nicoll, Chris Woodard, Bjorn Wojt and Oliver Petersen all chipping in with wickets.
In reply Don's XII knocked off the runs with an over to spare. Donald Coleman (19), Oliver Petersen (14 not out), Jake Skellern (12 not out), Evan Cronje (12 not out) and Bjorn Wojt (11 not out) all chipped in to make the runs. Max Lewis, Matt Strain, Asher Robb, Harry Bartlett and Luke Dewar all managed to get wickets.
Thanks to Colin and Don for umpiring/coaching and to Tim and Peter for scoring. Once again well done to all the boys and parents and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
