Botany Bay III v Hertingfordbury CC 2nd XI on Sat 01 May 2010 at 1.00
Match was Drawn

Match report Hertingfordbury won the toss and after much diliberation the skipper decided to have a bat on a green looking wicket. We got off to a steady start with Sam Ranner batting particulary well combining patience with a few lusty blows, the skip was the first to depart for 24 bringing Ross to the crease who played some solid shots in his 23. After Sam was Ross got out the innings petered out somewhat with us finally getting to 123 thanks to a good innings of 16 from Braders. Botany Bay bowled well on a wicket which had some unusual bounce but was consistent throughout, thier best bowler being Cousins 5-27.
In reply our young (except Kevin) attack bowled exceptionally well all four bowled good tight lines moving the ball in the air and off the seam. Botany Boy struggled, like us, to score above 3/over and the game was always going to be tight. We fielded well took our chances well and managed to pick up wickets while bay edged away at our total, a close finish was always on the cards. With the rain falling Bay required 6 of the final over we needed 3 wickets, Smurph bowled a great final over restricing the oppo to just 3runs, 1 short of us and picking up another wicket. Overall a draw was a fair result.
A special mention goes to debutant Mike Perryman for the first comedy run-out of the season which included a dive to make his ground which finished 3 foot short of the crease.
MOM: Ross Murphy. Valuable runs and a excellent, fast spell of bowling.
Alex.
