2nds vs The Rail

2nds won. Not convincingly, but enough for first innings points.

Highlights

Matt Unicomb scored a very good 74 opening the batting. Batted for more than three hours. A good knock with semi's coming up.

Sav savaging the attack for 20 minutes. Looked good again. Hopefully he's saving that hundred for one of the next two matches.

Holzy found a bit of form (f**king FINALLY!!!), scoring 74. He moved from 33 to 62 in two overs after tea, a pretty fair effort.

Nathan Simpson pulling out of his JGS virus (Jason Gillespie Syndrome), regaining a bit of zip and bowling well in all his spells last Saturday. Very handy running into form at the right time of the season.

Andrew Ross bowling the best spell of off-spin bowling I have seen for almost 18 years. 3/43 off 15.1 overs, and probably only half a dozen ordinary deliveries. I don't care what anyone else says - Tiger is a great find, and someone we need to look after and push hard next season.

Sav bowling his first - and last - over for the Cavs. Poor attempt at a caught and bowled first delivery, the batsman picked up on him after that. At least you got that over Sav...

Jason Dowling's effort in the field, as well as his bowling, where because of the ten bowlers in the team he probably didn't get as much bowling as he deserved. A big role to play in the finals.

The return of Steve "Sticky" Norris. Still missing the outside edge almost every delivery, and still getting cut about it. It's great to have him back.

Ben King-Gee's keeping. No, it wasn't great, but Sav and I had a ball all day reminding him about it. Great cricket. smile.gif
