Portly skipper clean bowls 5 Old boys

Overcast damp conditions greeted the teams in this Division 2 P&D match played over 18 overs.  HSOB won the toss and chose to field first and Oddballs’ in-form opening pair of Rich “The Heat” Porritt and Ross “Sossage” Warner did not disappoint as they put on 60 for the opening wicket off 11 overs.  When Porritt holed out for 29 and Warner for 20 the wheels threatened to come off again for the home team as Nicholas fell for 6 and Downer for just 2.  Nathan Parsons came in a sped things up with a quickfire 14 and Marc “The Touch” Jones nudged himself a pleasing 9 not out.  With extras also contributing 23 Oddballs finished 105-6 which felt about 15 runs below par.

HSOB lost opener Ward for a duck to Adam Nicholas but skipper Giles and opener Hefford tucked into the Oddballs bowling quickly amassing 60 off the first six overs.  With just 46 needed off 12 overs Oddballs slowed the pace by bringing on the mystery leg-spin of Ryan “Chewy” Hewitt.  However, his first over went for 9 and Oddballs found themselves in real trouble.  Fortunately Adam Nicholas took care of Hefford and from there the Old Boys started to wobble.

Chewy then started to weave his magic; skipper Giles was first to fall, bowled after being dropped and being let-off a nailed on stumping opportunity.  Next came Bennett who had foolishly called Chewy “Shamu” earlier in the game; he was less gobby when he got bowled first ball as the portly bowler danced topless around him.  Chewy went on to finish 5-21 with all five clean bowled; Parse wrapped things up at the other end with an excellent spell of 4-1-6-2 and Gavin Hewitt got in on the act with a run out for the last wicket. HSOB finished 84-10; Oddballs win by 21 runs.
