Colts B slip up

Colts B v Spratton Hall

 

Twenty 20 match.

 

Spratton won the toss and decided to bat. The BG boys instantly found bowling very difficult due to a strong cross wind and an extraordinarily narrow astroturf wicket, though taking nothing away from the Spratton boys who all batted extremely well, amassing a total of 163 for 4 wickets in twenty overs. Sadly, this did include 50 extras. Sam Green-Armytage and Harris Qureshi did try hard to stem the flow of runs taking two wickets apiece.

 

BG’s turn to bat! A daunting task ahead as the wickets began to tumble, but even the Spratton boys found it hard to keep the ball on this narrow strip of astro and did concede 34 runs in extras. BG boys found it hard to cope with the extra bounce and speed created from the astro wicket giving four simple catches, all gratefully received by the Spratton boys. The one ray of sunshine came from Daniel Spencer who hit three magnificent fours through extra cover before being bowled for our top score of 14. Eventually Colts B were dismissed for 67, loosing by 96 runs to a very strong Spratton side.

 

Result

Spratton.         163 for 4 off 20 overs. BG Colts B.    all out 67 off 12.2 overs. Spratton won by 96runs.
