Build the man a statue!🗽Mark Lines steered the 1s to a 15-run win over Slough in a top of the table clash. After winning the toss and deciding to bat, 49-4 didn’t look a great return on investment. However, with Lines at the crease, runs started to accumulate as the testing pitch started to flatten out (to a degree). His well-made 50 and out was essential to posting 151 ao, a competitive total. Wickets were shared around between the bowlers (except Kai ‘Hulk’ Ziemkendorf, who may need a new match shirt) with Lines picking up a cheeky two-fer. Shoutout to Shiv for running someone out going for a 3rd 🏰
The 2s fell to a frustrating defeat against Wokingham. After a decent bowling performance, with wickets shared between Woolley, Masood, L Ziemkendorf(2-9 off 6!), Page and Dixon, our reply got off to a bad start with a wicket in the first over. Then 55-2 became 80-5. Another fifty partnership followed between Dixon and Uzair, but once Dixon fell for a well-made 73 the innings folded in on itself.
The 3s benefited from university term ending with Dhruv Sharma’s return to Windsor. Trig’s wicket first ball of the game set the tone and all the bowlers chipped in. Highlight of the innings was Brooker dropping his own hattrick, meaning he could only teapot himself. Chasing 152, the 3s were optimistic; less so when Charters was dismissed for 1, but Sharma and Fox shared a 94 run partnership to whittle down the bulk of the chase. Some hearty blows from Brooker helped settle any nerves and the 3s recorded their 2nd win of the campaign.
The 4s had a tough day out but James Perkins shone with bat and ball. 38-1 to 117 ao says it all, and it would’ve been a lot less without late order hitting from Perkins. Despite his 2 wickets up top the 4s never really had enough runs to defend.
