June 11, 2011
An
outstanding all-round display from Manuj Patel helped the 4th Xl to a welcomed
two wicket CCA Junior League Division 5A victory over Witcham 2nd Xl, at the
Neale Wade.
He helped bowl the visitors
out for 144-7 with his 4-15 spell and then followed that up with a dazzling 82
in the 146-8 reply...against a side who hammered them by 94 runs just a
fortnight ago!
Five of Patel's 10 overs were maidens, with vice-skipper James Shepherd
picking up two wickets in the side's first home game of the season.
But in
reply March found themselves 18-4 off just six overs - with both openers
departing without troubling the scorers. Patel came in at No5 and together
with skipper Bill Hilliard they put on 95 for the fifth wicket. The
all-rounder hit 14 boundaries, including one 'six', with Hilliard scoring
21.
And with Steve Impey chipping in with an unbeaten 18, the winning runs
came off just 30.4 overs. What's more the 20 points puts the team
level-pegging with Witcham in second position.
