Hadleigh & Thundersley 2nd XI v Belhus Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI on Sat 01 Sep 2018 at 12.30pm
Belhus Cricket Club Won by 76 Runs

Match report Belhus visited Hadleigh &Thundersley on Saturday knowing that they needed to win - and win well to stave off the chasing pack in the Division.

The news that they had been invited to bat was welcoming in the pursuit of maximum points, and the enjoyment of a lovely summer's day on what looked like a firm, well-grassed pitch.

ZaK Wilson and skipper Lewis opened up and were soon rattling along at a very good rate. Zak was particularly brutal on anything pitched up or short. 114 for the opening partnership set the platform for the pursuit of maximum batting points and getting H&T in as quickly as possible after tea. Zak's 74 was a lovely innings, full of his crunching drives and brutal, well-timed pulls. As the innings progressed it became noticeable that the pitch was very much two-paced with a lot of balls kicking through low and this inconsistent bounce was reflected in Belhus slipping to 150 for 4. However Wayne Read (50 not out) and the welcome sight of Chris Porter (20) with a bat in his hands, pushed Belhus past 200 and an eventual declaration at 235 for 7.

After tea, Jamie Fairweather took 2 early wickets with full tosses (always a good ball) to start the process of making inroads and winning the game. At 51 for 4 the game looked very promising but a 5th wicket stand of 86 put H&C in a good position at 136 for 4 at 31 overs and drinks. However, the orange squash had the effect of energising the Belhus attack to such an extent that the last 6 wickets fell for just 22. Imran (2 for 23) and Antonio (4 for46) took the game by the scruff of the neck and delivered in splendid fashion. A very hard fought game of cricket that earned Belhus 25 points.

The final match next Saturday pitches us against Orsett CC and the chance of promotion. . . oh, the irony. The final push beckons. . .
