Bashers Pleasure vs Pudong Power June 5 2011

Bashers Pleasure lost the toss and were put in to the field on an overcast afternoon. Captain Bugs set an aggressive field blessed as he was with a strong bowling line-up. The Dog and Kit Bag got things off to a steady start with Kit Bag removing one of the Pudong openers in his second over.

Runs remained hard to come by for Pudong as first changers Tubby and Sinbad continued to keep things very tight,ably assisted by a field which had woken up after a series of early ground-fielding mishaps.

Sinbad broke through a couple of times whilst Tubby produced a great spell at the other end without any luck. Conan took over from Sinbad and was practically unplayable in a 5 over spell of 3-23. Bugs then mopped up the tail with 3-14 well aided by some fine fielding from Growler (3 catches) and Sinbad. The Korean also did fine work behind the stumps, looking particularly sharp down the leg side.

Set 123 to win, Bashers started the chase with great caution and were only at 39 at the half way mark with 4 batsmen back in the pavilion. The arrival of Conan (43) at the crease turned things around and his partnership with Swoop (16) took us within sight of victory. After Swoop’s departure, the Dog (19 Not Out) continued the good work first with Sinbad and then with Bugs as victory was achieved in the 27th over with three wickets in hand.
