Mitcho and Stocksy have been mates for a long time now, and it's a well known fact that the two enjoy their time out in the middle in each other's company. They've had some great batting partnerships in the past, some that have helped post decent totals, some that have helped secure premiership glory, and now they've done it again to help them get their side into this season's grand final.
Mitcho joined Stocksy with the score at 2/68 in the 22nd over, and the two ticked the score along in difficult batting conditions against a solid bowling attack, with rapidly fading light and the threat of lightning overhead. When the game was halted after 40 overs and the score on 2/123, the plan was simple - go after everything they throw at us in the next 10 overs (as the game was now reduced to 50 overs), and they enacted that plan perfectly. In the next 7 overs (before Stocksy's dismissal), they hit a rapid fire 60 runs, pushing their bodies to the limit. Not only for the good of the team, but for each other.
Awesome effort from a couple of club legends, well done boys!
