Cavs vs St Albans CC
See what happened when we played St Albans over 10 years
ago today
Oh, and look what's happening in New
Zealand
From Captain S Foster Snr...
A great effort by the Cavs yesterday against St Albans
saw us come just short of what would have been an excellent
win.
At Clarence Park St Albans posted a competitive but achievable
217 for 6 on a runway of a wicket. Some tidy bowling by
Kev Mox, Tail end and Firms kept the scoring down on a scorching
hot afternoon and very fast outfield. A good effort with
not much fineage from Elbo (run out chances aside).
The chase was on and at 20 for 2 we saw big John Greggs
wander out to the crease. No sooner had Ellis and Todd disappeared
to the Crown to lick their wounds, Johnny Greggs, 15 balls
later was holding his bat aloft acknowledging his maiden
Cavs 50. An awesome display of clean hitting against some
formidable opening bowling. Greggsy went on to make 74 and
set up the platform for the win. Snr and OA's debutant Gian
nudged the total on to 170 until both went in 3 balls. Tanty
came in and smashed one of his trade mark shots over the
pavillion first ball, unfortunatley it was only the cavs
looking over the pavillion as thats where the ball should
have gone had he not missed it and hit his middle stump!
Costly golden duck.
And so with 202 on the board with one over and one Cavs
wicket left up stepped the Firmeman. A couple of scrambled
2's and the match was on again. Firmin then middled one
which was soaring to the rope only to be pouched by St Albans
best fielder and the Cavs were all out for 208.
So on we go. Its Bamville away this sunday can you all
let me know by return of email your availability. This could
be the last Cavs match for a while so your chance to get
some cricket in.
Regards
Snr
nb - Greggs, Todd can you pass this on to Besty, the now
second best player in your house!
