Mixed Game 2 – 27/07/2025 – Central Lane Strikettes vs Frothy Flyers
Result: Central Lane Strikettes won by 14 runs

In a much-anticipated clash between two top mixed sides, the Strikettes put in a clinical performance with both bat and ball to edge out the Frothy Flyers by 14 runs.

Batting first, Central Lane Strikettes were anchored by a breathtaking knock from Chris Cain, who shook off his recent long-form struggles and returned to his dominant self with a whirlwind 68 off just 19 balls – including 7 sixes and 5 boundaries. His innings, filled with brute power and clean striking, set the tone for the innings. Support came from Jon Donald, who played steady, calculated, and ultimately finishing the innings with an unbeaten 51 off 27 balls, steering his side to a formidable total of 164/5. Contributions from Matt Downes (22) and Milton Peters (3)* helped boost the score at the death.

In response, the Frothy Flyers stumbled early with both of their usually dependable openers – Quade C**k (12) and Samantha Chynoweth (15) – dismissed cheaply. But the Flyers were not done. Hamish Tims was sublime in his shot-making, smashing his way to an unbeaten 50 off 22 balls with 4 sixes, while Shaynaé Pearson showed great temperament to craft 30 from 26, holding the chase together.

Further down the order, Melissa Kalbitz (15) and Alysa Bachmann (20)* kept the Flyers in the hunt, but the mounting required rate proved too much.

The Strikettes' bowlers held their nerve. Chris Cain (4-0-16-1) starred again, and Matt Downes (4-0-16-2) delivered with key breakthroughs. Milton Peters, Stevi Cameron, Lisa West, and Jackie Neary each chipped in with tight overs to restrict momentum.

With the ball, the Flyers had standout moments too — Samantha Chynoweth (2 wickets) provided crucial breakthroughs, while Quade C**k was exceptional, claiming 2 wickets and bowling a rare and valuable maiden over.

Despite a strong fightback with the bat, the Flyers closed their innings on 150/4, just 14 runs shy of the target.

Player of the Match: Chris Cain – 68 (19) & 4-0-16-1

🎤A few words from the Captain 🎤

A bloody ripper effort today Flyers! We stuck to our game plan, backed each other up, kept the talk encouraging and overall played smart cricket. Everyone contributed, whether with the bat, ball, or high energy fielding. That’s what made us strong. And we got the job done 🏏💥

Bowling
Indi came through with a maiden and a wicket, keeping the pressure high early on. Sam was super economical keeping pressure on the batters. Fi and Stevi bowled some crucial overs. Mel and Paap also contributed with timely wickets. Jess, you stayed composed through a rough patch, however your fielding was outstanding and you made Allsorts work for every run. Strong bowling and fielding effort all round!

Batting
Sam led with a solid 46 runs and Paap supported well with 24. Mel’s quick 21 off 15 and Fi’s 12 added crucial runs. An unlucky day with the bat for Jess and Indi, but you both contributed significantly during our bowling innings, so heads up. In the end, we posted enough to defend, taking the win with some brilliant bowling and fielding.

Wicket Keepers
Strong work from the keepers Stevi and Mel. Special mention to Mel for an early run out with a direct hit on the wickets

From, one proud skipper 😎
