Cricket Web Black v Cricket Web Blue
at Pickford Reserve
Despite taking a bunch of early wickets after opting to bowl first, Black got brutal treatment from the blades of Sean Fuller and Tom Halsey, who helped send the Blues back in contention from an early position of 19 for 3. Fuller had been the anchor of the innings, crossing for 121 runs off his own bat in addition to the ones other hit, and was visibly tired as he left the field. At the other end, Halsey had come in with the total on 249 for 7, and blasted Hoy and Thompson for runs; the number nine leg spinner hit ten fours and one six and reached his fifty in 20 balls, quite possibly the quickest fifty in CWLand history. He rounded off with a three to bring the total to 318 for 7.
The Blacks responded with a very well-paced chase, as they were roughly level until the 30th over, wheb Adam Collins got what many thought was the crucial wicket by dismissing David Kearsley for 35. Two overs later, he was taken for 27 in a seven-ball over and duly ushered to backward point, but Black had gone ahead of the Blues at this stage and it looked like the game would be decided by the bowlers. Black's undoing eventually was their unability to convert starts; nine batsmen reached double figures, yet the highest total was that of Ash Chaulk, with 47. Nathan Hoy nearly outscored him, as he attempted to emulate Halsey, but after smashing 46 in 22 balls he inside edged a ball from Liam Camps and could only glare at leg stump in disappointment. With 17 left to get for the final wicket, and plenty of time, Camps' experience once again showed through, as a tempting full toss flew off Harry Warwick's bat and directly to Dinu de Silva, who held the catch and secured a ten-run win in the thrilling encounter.

Congratulations Sean on that List-A hundred. Was a long time coming and well-deserved.
I'm not sure which is more surprising, that Sean hit just 3 boundaries in his 133 not out, or that Tom Halsey pulled a Gibbs. Maiden milestones for each and I couldn't be more pleased. The bowling side wasn't quite as sharp, but especially pleased with the continued progress made by Nath Patrick in the OD game.

Very pleased with that knock. Everyone struggled a bit early on as we lost 3 and I got knocked over off a no ball, but it was a good track to bat on after you got set, as shown by the scores. Great cameo by Halsey at the end got us to a really great score, and some excellent stuff from he and Liam helped us defend it.
That's four out of our last 5 now, and things are looking up.

Excellent win Blues! We're unstoppable!
Excellent batting by Fuller and Afri - er, I mean Halsey. Useful contributions by Camps and Crampton too.
