Belhus Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI v Billericay on Sat 13 Jul 2013 at 1pm
Match was Drawn

Match report The Day of the Catcher

Belhus openers Wayne Read and skipper Mark Sansom got us off to a flying start with a 70+ partnership, but only Roy Heffernan, with a fine 56, was able to make any real impression against the Billericay bowling attack. We were dismissed for 231 after a late flurry by our tail-enders Sam Hall and Connor Day. Spinner Jack Granby bowled accurately in taking 7 for 47 - a rare '5 for' on the batsman-friendly North Stifford wicket. Both Jack Pearce and Michael Reynolds took 3 catches apiece for Billericay.

In reply, Billericay batted sensibly but Connor Day bowled 'in the right places' to capture 5 for 49 (his second '5 for' of the season). The game ebbed and flowed but eventually ended in a draw - a fair result overall.

Behind the stumps, Mark Sansom took 5 catches (all off of the bowling of Connor Day) and 1 stumping - to equal his own club record (set in 2009) for the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in an innings - 6. Interestingly, of the 18 wickets to fall in the match, 15 went to catches - 9 Belhus batsmen and 6 Billericay batsmen were caught.

This was a highly entertaining and enjoyable match played in good spirit - and in 'proper' cricket weather!.
