Ivanhoe
v Druids – First
match of the Norfolk Tour and a 20/20 match to start on Friday evening
against Druids, another touring side from Put
in to bat by Adrian and with the bowlers having only short spells Druids
struggled to maintain a decent scoring rate in the first few overs as
wickets fell and it was only an innings of 60 by Moorby and a couple of
big scoring overs towards the end of the innings which allowed them to
post 116 all out with 2 balls to go.
For the bowling Max (according to Druids scorebook!) took 3 for 2
in 4 overs, Andy H 1 for 23, Andy C 1 for 25, Ciaran with an excellent
spell 3 for 10, Richard 1 for 27 and Adrian 1 for 20.
Two caught & bowleds by Max and Ciaran, another catch for
Max, and a fine slip catch by Phil P helped keep the score down to what
was a reasonable target. In
reply Ives got off to a quick scoring start with Richard and Max taking
on the Druids bowlers to score 51 in the first 6 overs with Richard
eventually falling for 32
and Max out shortly after for 34. As
a result only 65 were needed off the remaining 14 overs.
Chris Baddeley (15) and Andy H (9) kept the score going
but the old problem of not
keeping the score ticking by finding singles when boundaries are hard to
come by arose again as the scoring rate fell away to leave 10 required
off the final over as the innings, with Adrain 9no, closed 6 short on
110. |
