An 'exciting' start to the day, as the team arrived at New
Brighton's main Mortuary Road ground for warm ups, only to find there was no
opposition! A couple of phone calls revealed the fact that the venue had secretly been
changed and so we set off in convoy for the Wayfarers Ground in Bidston.
Unfortunately we arrived to find only 9/11ths of a New Brighton side,
but the Oxton lads were happy to make up the numbers in order to hone their fielding skills.
Winning the toss, Oxton elected to bat. With an outfield resembling a hay meadow, reaching the boundary overland was always going to be a challenge.
Jack B and
Tom G opened with some nice shots, but failed to build on a
promising start, paving the way for
Jack C,
Ed and
Harry to inflict some
damage on the mid-wicket boundary, opting for the aerial route and scoring four 6s along the way.
Jack C
eventually retired on 35 (narrowly outscoring New Brighton extras on 34), with Harry also contributing a valuable 20 runs. The final third of the innings saw
Max,
Chris,
Louis,
Ben T and
Luke move the score onto a respectable looking total of 125-7 off their 25 overs.
New Brighton's response ran into immediate difficulties in the first over as Dhruv clean bowled the opener second ball, and had #3 caught by Harry off the final ball of the over. Supported by incredibly stingy bowling by Ed at the other end, who allowed only one solitary run off his three overs, the game was effectively over by the time Harry and Tom G came on as first change. Jacks B and C then inflicted further damage, and although the New Brighton tail wagged briefly, Luke and Chris came on to finish off the innings just inside the allotted 25 overs, skittling them out for 63.
So, 3 wins out of three continues a perfect start to the 2014 season. Keep going lads!
