Belhus Cricket Club Sunday 2nd XI v Crusaders on Sun 11 Aug 2013 at 2pm
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 6 Wickets

Match report Electing to bat in this 40-over encounter at North Stifford, Belhus II's made a reasonable start against some accurate bowing. The 1st wicket partnership of Chris Baker and Jim Banner realised 49 before the out-of-form Baker hit one up in the air to be well caught and bowled by Ahmed for 17. Scot Stonham struggled to get going taking 15 balls to get off the mark before departing for a disappointing 8 runs in a stand of 34 with Banner.The much-improved Greg Mendham then arrived at the crease starting to play shots immediately and with Jim Banner now going for his shots too the innings again gathered momentum, the 3rd wicket realising 99 in good time until Mendham was bowled for 59 trying to force the pace. Amit Gohail chipped in with 10 until he was trapped LBW with the final ball of the match to leave Banner undefeated on 102 (his 7th century) as Belhus closed on a disappointing 214 for 3 due to good field placings and tight bowling by Crusaders perhaps some 25 runs light.

In reply, the visitors scored steadily despite the loss of opener Jabeer Sarwar to a good Paul Newton catch off a Stonham long hop. Crusaders' No. 3 batsman A. Rajhal made a brisk 40 despite a very confident appeal for a caught behind off Amit Gohails first ball before he had scored and amazingly wasn't given out!! He was eventually caught behind "again" by Jack Day off George Maidment ). There were two further successes for the home side but Crusaders got home by 6 wickets with 8 balls remaining thanks to Moyse with a chaceless 54 n.o. and Channa who hit an aggressive 71 in a good-spirited game. Young George Maidment with a happy knack of taking wickets recorded 2 for 37 making a total of nine wickets for the weekend. Well done George.

Credit should also go to Mark Winter and Richard Day and all who strive to produce such good wickets at North Stifford as 429 runs were scored for just 7 wickets in 78.4 overs. A big thanks to them.
