League Week 14

1st XI had no game
2nd XI game v Sheldwich abandoned due to rain



Weather spoils Ryan’s debut
Losing the toss for the 2nd time in one week Marden were asked to bat 1st again. Harry and the skipper opened the batting and the pair were soon back in the changing room with the score on 22 both caught. James hit 3 fours on his way to 16 and was starting to look like he was going to score some very valuable runs but was bowled before he really got going. Ryan got a shocker of a ball that never got more than 2 inches of the surface and struck him front LBW. Jon Jones fell for 1. Nigel looked relaxed driving straight and true before chasing a very wide one and was caught for 32. The bowler was Matt Blythin (that really was his name) and we thought there was only ONE!! Sam continued with his fine form and even with an injured toe (he’d stuck a fork in it earlier in the week) and scored another classy 57. John Rogers chipped in with a very useful 18. Gareth scored 4 with Dan and Steve added 1 a piece before Dan was caught and the innings closed on 173.
Steve and James opened the bowling and James picked up the only wicket we managed to collect before the rain came. Steve bowled 9 overs, 4 maidens for only 11 runs. Ryan only managed to squeeze in 3 overs before the end of the game but showed real pace and control and was unlucky not to have a wicket as one flew threw to Sam at slip who did well to get a hand on it in the gathering gloom. The rain came and the game was abandoned after only 17 overs of the Sheldwich innings.




If you are not available please contact either myself Chris Watts or Matt Blythin ASAP so we can settle the lines up’s as early as possible and fill anybody who drop’s out.
Regards

Chris
