First game of the 2005 winter season and ThickEdge was back in action. Things started well with Brendan winning the toss and deciding to bat, but for the first two pairs not much else went right. Will and Spally went in first and started solidly enough, not losing a wicket in the first over but a bit of early season rustiness saw them put on only 15 for the pair. Copps and Mark were up next and after Copps took his first ball of middle stump to the back net for 5, things were looking up. A few too many lost wickets saw the two battle to an improved pair of 21. Enter Tas. In his first game for the teal and gold he showed scant respect for all bowling and plundered his way to a match turning 40 runs. Some sledging in the early overs of the last pair seemed to rattle the fielding team and Tas took full advantage and turned the match in the Wizards favour.
Spally set the tone in the field with a tight first over and with Tas continuing his dream debut with the ball, Bloomfield never really got into the chase. The first pair were held to -1 which was a great first up effort. Unfortunately the 2nd pair, although only scoring 24 runs, were able to win the 2nd skin in what was the only downpoint of a very good opener to the season. The match came to a close with the final pair dabbing their way to 20 to give ThickEdge a very impressive 46 run first up win.
Ominous signs for the rest of the division 2 teams and I am sure they will be worried about the return of ThickEdge. We can look forward to a very exciting season with anything being possible.
GO THICK EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!
