Fuller XI vs Cunningham XI
at the CW Oval

Crowds turned out in the thousands to see one of the most anticipated spectacles of each Dev League season - the opening round of Charity cricket. Though they did not see fireworks from superstars such as Sean Fuller, Bryce Cunningham and Marc Robbins, they were certainly not disappointed.

Powerful top order batting set a great platform for Chris Butler and Daniel Towns, who drove, pulled and cut the Cunningham XI to a massive 314/3.

In response, Fuller's men lost James Stedman to the first delivery, but a magnificent ton from Alex Blackman kept pride in the game. Despite his heroic efforts, the Cunningham XI romped home by 48 runs, with no man more disappointed than Stephen Burke, as he saw his hero Fuller dismissed for a first baller.

Cunningham XI 314/3 (50 overs)
Fuller XI 266 ao (50 overs)

Cunningham XI won by 48 runs.
Man of the Match: CR Butler

Camps Aid vs Wilson XI
at the PDV Dome

David Kearsley had the crowd energized with his sensational unbeaten 75, but he and Robert Cribb could not quite get the Wilson XI home, after a middle overs collapsed hindered their chase of 268 for victory.

Kearsley faced just 57 balls and struck 2 fours and 3 sixes, but it simply was not enough. For Camps Aid, it was Callum Thompson's 3 wickets that did the big damage.

Earlier the fanfare was that of Daniel Smith, however. Batting at 6 after the quick dismisal of Camps, Smith stroked and smacked 10 boundaries in his 58-ball 72. His innings went a long way toward resurrecting a score of 52/4, and setting it at 267 all out.

Most surprising in the Camps Aid innings though, was the batting of Callum McKern. With no previous batting form of which to speak, McKern smashed two huge sixes over midwicket in a score of 23.

Camps Aid 267 ao (48.3 overs)
Wilson XI 250/7 (50 overs)

Camps Aid won by 17 runs.
Man of the Match: DP Smith

Blackman kept the crowds entertained. Top knock, and four sixes. Wilshere kept the result in doubt until the very end with his partnership with Blackman

Cunningham's batsmen were top notch on the day though, and hammered most of the bowlers.

The Fuller Givin' XI lives to fight another day.

Fuller and Robbins to open the bowling and play as specialists. From there, the spinners will bowl the rest of the overs, in Loganathan, Currie, Dwyer and Scott. Rose and Thomas to play as batsmen.

Watch for the rest of the batsmen to have a bowl in the final game, and Loganathan to take the gloves.

McKern hitting 23 including two sixes... :lol: Crazy. I see Watt and Borcich didn't do too horribly as openers, if not a bit slow.

'grats to Draviid, too, on his first game.

McKern's awesome batting gets him a promotion. Due to peer pressure, Mørk will take the new ball with Young. Smith first change. Rest can be sorted out by Dan Rai on the battlefield.
