Weekends Cricket

A pretty wet week meant that many games did not get away this weekend. The A grade CVRCC boys turned up to Hawthorndene only to be confronted with a wash out. Their game will revert to the one day format next weekend.

The B grade ventured down to Serpentine Reserve to play Southern to find perfect conditions and a well drained oval. Southern got away to a good start and were only 2down for 93 at drinks and poised to post a big score. What they didn't factor on was Kingo Smith taking 5 for 47 after the break. A huge effort by our quick. New chum Josh Putland bowling his leggies chimed in with 3 for 29 and shows huge promise for a very young man. Southern ended the day with a moderate 173. The Ramblers will need to show the same gritty determination as week one to get over a determined Southern outfit.

Coromandel Valley Ramblers C Grade were smashed from one end of the oval to the other and did not help themselves by dropping a double digit amount of catches. Much work must be done at practice on our fielding to support our competent bowling line up. Sam Davenport with 2 for 93 was the only shining light with the ball. What could have been with 5 catches going down off his bowling alone. Southern finished the day at 7 for 334.

The D grade boys played Adelaide Cavaliers 2 at Kenilworth and made a handy 198 runs although they failed to bat out their overs. This gave Cavaliers a few bonus overs and by days end had replied with 1 for 36 off only five overs. Our fourth team will need to bowl tightly next Saturday to achieve victory. Batsmen who made an impression on the day were club legend Malcolm Lincoln with 47,Eitzen with 44 and Pownceby with 38. No one was able to turn their start into the big innings required.

Lets make sure we get out and support all the Ramblers teams next week. Early results can make or break teams in their bids to qualify for the finals.
