Grand Final 6 March 2008 vs A Team Whose Name We Cannot Safely Use On The Net


Chigurh won the toss and sent Stabbin in to bat. Tight bowling & fielding restricted the powerful hitting opening pair to 18. Next pair added 27 but some brilliant end of innings bowling from Hill, Rock & Donaldson saw the next pair add 2. 47 to chase. A nervous start from Dowell & Donaldson added16 with the stumps rattled on a couple of occassions. In the scheme of things it was enough to launch an assault. A dour 31 added by Hill & Perry with the loss of no wickets and scores were level. Rock & Clewlow added amusement at the end with 3 run outs off 4 balls to drag us back level with 14 balls remaining. Once the running was sorted they powered away with some lusty stroke making which included the only 7 of the game off the last ball to Junior. We finished with a 69. Overall a brilliant effort which was set up by some great bowling and fielding. This made the batsmen's job that much easier. A season high 5 stumpings to Phil saw him take home his second Russ Cowley medal. Not to forget 4/-1 with the ball. Thanks to all who came along to support us. Carlos, Christine, Russell, Tom, Pete & Tim. Apologies to Christine for bellowing out instructions from behind the net.
