Superstars continued their cracking start to the season with a hard fought win against Motley Crew yesterday evening. Gigg expertly lost the toss and we went out to field. Taylor and Thakrar kept it tight, and Mountain and Block continued the accurate (mostly) bowling. Duggan came into the attack and had the batmen wildly flailing and Thakrar finished them off with a terrific over, finishing with 4 wickets on debut. Duggan got three wickets while Mountain and Block finished with a wicket each and Superstars had a target of 120 to chase. Abigail, Rock, Evison and debutants Mark Williams and Marc Williams struggled against quality bowling and Superstars were 5 for 5. With the quicks out of the attack Gigg and Mountain steadied the ship and both cruised to retirements at 25. Thakrar, Taylor and later Duggan came in and continued the recovery, all playing good shots and running well. It was close when Block and the returning Mountain faced the last few overs (considering it was dark) But requiring a run a ball off the last 4 overs, Superstars cruised home with 6 balls to spare. |
