Notes from the
Denham Cricket Club website:
This one went to
the wire and was decided with only 4 balls remaining.
Knotty Green
scored a formidable 190/9 off their 40 overs. All the Denham bowlers
contributed well and shared the wickets about, with Messrs Johnson
(S), Grover (J), Brathwaite and Harish all bagging two wickets each.
It was the same
with the Denham batting. All of the top order (Johnson C,16,
Matthews D, 18, Bull S, 23, Leach A, 21) chipped in with around 20
each, then there was an inspiring partnership of around 70 between
Stuart Payne (31) and Richie Brathwaite (41), the latter hitting the
ball very crisply.
Just when it
seemed Denham were cruising, Knotty Green brought back their (rather
sharp) opening bowler (Lewis R, who finished with 4/33 and had
also topscored for them with 49). Two wickets fell immediately. The
last over began with 5 wanted and Phil Dickson and Jack Grover in
bat. They scampered a single off the first and then Phil opened his
shoulders and smashed the next one to the boundary over the bowler's
head for a 3-wicket margin |
