BC 1st XI vs Otumoetai Saturday 19th October 2013

Game Report

In an early start to the Term 4 cricket season, BC were up against old foes Otumoetai.

Winning the toss and electing to bat, BC were nailed down by some accurate fast bowling by their openers.

An early wicket didn’t help matters and at the 10th over we had a paltry 19 runs on the board. Another wicket in the 11^th, saw Paddy Davenport come to the crease and with a ‘quick fire’ 40, aided by a nicely compiled 29 by Luke Bryenton. With a determined 17 from opener Dylan Ramohitaj and quick cameos from Ryan Poppe and Tom Rutherford, we managed to reach a total of 146 in the 40^th over.

Otumoetai were relatively untroubled in reaching this score, with a loss of just 3 wickets, all to the bowling of Dylan Wadsworth (3 for 20).

Julian Bradley on 39 and Vaughan Wilson with an unbeaten 58 were our undoing.

1^st game nerves…. Lets hope so !
