After a strong showing in the season opener the boys of ThickEdge were out to continue their good start with this match against the Aznew Assasins. Tas was unfortunately missing from the side due to work commitments and was replaced in the last minute by good mate Damo.
After we won the toss and decided to bat, Damo was thrown right into the action to open the innings with Spally. Some much improved batting by Spally and more than able assistance from Damo saw the team off to a much better start than last week as the pair put on 34. Will and Mark were up next and after a great first 2 overs things were looking rosy. Unfortunately the brakes were then put on with some tight bowling and they could only manage 20 runs for the pair. So with a solid foundation Copps & Brendan came in to finish the innings and with nothing spectacular, but solid batting they managed 33 runs to post a very defendable target of 87.
The tone for the innings was set early with Mark bowling an excellent first over which was met with an even better batting display. We were going to have to be very sharp for the whole innings if we were to win this one. Things were looking a bit shaky after the opening pair were up to 30 runs after just 3 overs but a brilliant final over of the pair by Spally saw them off for 33 to give us the skin by just 1 run. Despite our best efforts we were unable to win the 2nd skin, losing it by 2 runs for the 2nd time in 2 games, but still held the pair to 22. This left the final pair needing to put on 33 if they were to win the game. With 2 overs to go things were still tight with the pair putting on 17, only 16 runs short. With Brendan being smashed in the head fielding in close in the 10th over things might have been looking slightly worrying. It wasn't to be though with the ever reliable Mark bowling a great penultimate over conceding just 4 and Brendan overcoming the smack to the head to close it out in the final over.
Another great win by the boys to continue the impressive start to the season. Even contributions from all players has things looking positive for this season.
GO THICK EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!
