Doctors lost to Spaxton by 9 wickets Having lost the toss the Docs batted first but made heavy
weather on a track that looked a little past its best. Four wickets fell
cheaply, Sam Powell caught for 6, John Ogle playing round his fourth ball was
clean-bowled, Rob Adcock was caught for 1, and Charles Macadam was
unaccountably bowled first ball. But
in-form Chris Cullum carried his bat for a resourceful 28, ably supported by
Hugh Ogle who thumped 30 in just 14 balls including one mighty 6 that landed
half-way up a pine tree over mid-on, and another somewhere over mid-wicket;
returning at the end he added 4 more. Andrew Jeans was unfortunately run out
for 1, while Nick Eaton helped himself to 12. The youthful Spaxton side, ably captained by long-horn but
evergreen Keith Bellinger found run-scoring less difficult than we had
despite the efforts of Sam Powell who took the one wicket to fall in his
opening spell of 4 overs for 19. Sedge bowled tidily as did Imogen Mann (0-15
off 3), but to no avail. The total was reached with 4 overs in reserve. It was a dry
evening, and we all enjoyed a good chat afterwards. |
