Crampton XI vs Weber XI
Charity Final
at the CW Oval
What a cruel game that even the most worthy of efforts may go unrewarded in the final chapter. David Kearsley could scarcely give any more for the Crampton XI in front of the sell-out crowd at the Cricket Web Oval, and yet his team fell short of victory by some 17 runs.
Every cleverly disguised slower ball that snared a wicket - Halsey and Mitchell - was trumped by the spectacle of timing that Kearsley displayed with the bat. Crisp cover drives and fierce lofted shots considered, his innings of 91 was a masterpiece. And for a while it seemed that he might do with the bat what he had earlier done with the ball, taking 3 for 48 to limit a threatening batting charge. The irony was that he perished to the bowling of his Cricket Web XI coach, as Halsey took a blinding catch on the midwicket boundary.
The batting of Dinu DeSilva, Sean Fuller and Blake Donald shone earlier in the day, but none could steal the spotlight from Kearsley. For while the Red batsman was at the crease, the target of 249 seemed attainable and easily so. It was the stark contrast with captain Alex Crampton that some may attribute the result, however. Crampton was dropped twice and struggled during a 70-ball 39, tied down by the variations of teammate Tom Halsey.
At the arrival of the last stretch of 12 overs, 90 runs were needed by the Crampton XI. The next 6 overs produced 63 runs, but also cost 4 wickets. Though the required run rate was under 5 for the last 6 overs, it was of little consequence with Mat Mitchell and Adam Collins at the crease. Nathan Hoy completed the innings with Nath Patrick's offstump - 16 balls remaining in the innings.
Weber XI 248 all out (49.4 overs)
MW DeSilva 57, SE Fuller 52, BC Donald 49; NL Patrick 5-51
Crampton XI 231 all out (47.2 overs)
DA Kearsley 91, A Crampton 39; T Loganathan 2-21
Weber XI won by 17 runs.
Man of the Match: DA Kearsley

Nice job there. Had a decent run in the charity series myself, along with winning the final, so can't complain. Donald looks a big talent.
Tom Halsey
International Coach
Well, at least I won one final this season. Well played Weber's.

I actually noted that and looked to put you into the report, but couldn't find the room and still preserve what semblance of flow there was.Nnanden said:

Seemed like an exciting game for the fans. Hopefully we raised heaps for charity. Good to see some runs come my way, and not nowling too bad either. Was a great series.
Cheers to everyone who set it up, simmed the games etc.
