Bashers Bowlers Defeat the Daredevils
By Mark Henwood, SCC Marketing & Communications
Match: Daredevils vs Bashers (Division 3)
Date: 26 May 2013
Venue: SRFC Near
Toss: Daredevils, who chose to field
Result: Bashers won by 33 runs
The Bashers overcame a strong Daredevils side to win their first match of the season on a gloomy day at the SRFC. Andy Sutherland, Daredevils captain, won the toss and decided to field first.
The opening bowlers for the Daredevils, Fraser Pearson (4-0-8-3) and Joe Osbourne (4-0-29-1), immediately applied the pressure with some quality swing bowling in the overcast conditions. Pearson was particularly effective in creating wicket chances and restricting the run rate. Mal Collins (8), and Mark Henwood (5), struggled to score and both were dropped early. Pearson struck in the third over by bowling Collins. After hitting a fine four through mid-wicket, Ben Collins (5) was caught and bowled, and then Henwood was caught at mid-off. The Bashers were 29/3 after 5 overs. That brought Justin Field (25) and Mikson Pathi (29) together for a significant 45 run partnership. Pathi played some elegant lofted drives for boundaries and Field also played an aggressive innings. Barry Greaves (4-0-26-2) broke the partnership by bowling Field, and then Ali Mann (6) produced an entertaining cameo that included a cracking on-drive, his first boundary for the Bashers. Pathi was plumb LBW to Osbourne in his second spell, and then Bavi Jain (0) was bowled for a first ball duck by Greaves with the score on 82/6 in the 14th over. Mann was bowled by Sutherland (4-0-26-1) in the 17th over and the match was in the balance, but a strong finish by Oliver Wilson (21 not out) and Paul Howard (14 not out) enabled the Bashers to post 124/7 off their 20 overs.
