A fantastic day for our first team gave us the full 20 points against a strong Sidmouth outfit.
Having won the toss and electing to bowl on what looked like a belting pitch from fred, we started taking wickets from the off.Eggs bowling hanks in his first over and with Burkey and Eggs looking like every ball was a wicket taker we took wickets at regular intervals.Andy bowled with great contol and made very good players look like it was the first time they had ever picked up a bat.Burkey does what he does every time he gets on the field but we really should appreciate just how well he is bowling!!!!
After a last wicket partnership lost us the game last week we managed to run through the tail and 55 all out was as many as they could have got- 2 drop catches and a poor decision from the umpire after a big big nick behind was not given saw them scrape to 55!!
We went out before tea, a few nerves around after last weeks effort and when chris went first ball visions of two failed run chases in consecutive matches were on everyones mind.But sparks came out and timed the ball from the off.He manged to drive, pull and whip hanks to all parts and the leagues best player bowled just 3 overs on the day!!
Monks looked solid at the top and when sparks was out when the scores were level it was left to jack/john( he will explain!!) to drive the winning runs.A victory before tea!!
An excellent all round effort.Im really pleased we learnt the lessons after last week and i'm sure plympton know they are in for a tough game on saturday.
Well done lads, see you tuesday!!
