Match Reports
3rd June - Next up was the destination of Dolmans Farm against an unbeaten Ferndown Wayfarers. Toss lost and asked to bat. A steady response with Mark Stutter first to fall for 35 with 82 runs on the board after 20 overs. Alex Nippard departed early before Sam Collins, playing a good patient innings of 94, avoided the double jug to leave the 40 over total at 183 for 3. Four further wickets fell in the chase for late runs, including Shane Green for 35. Two of those were lost in the final over but maximum batting points were achieved with a total of 226 for 7.
Ferndown Wayfarers began positively but had lost both openers for 40 by the tenth over. Some tight bowling and fielding then restricted the advance to another 51 runs before rain interrupted proceedings after over 27 at a score of 91 for 2. With 10 overs lost and umpires and scorers doing overtime a target score of 176 was calculated. This meant FW required 85 runs in 8 overs with 8 wickets in hand to win. First over after the resumption saw 15 runs scored. However the next 27 deliveries produced 8 wickets for the addition of only 20 runs. Ferndown Wayfarers all out for a total of 126. Ollie Green with 5 for 35 and Tom Blackley with 4 for 30 bowled well in tandem as FW tasted League defeat for the first time this season.
The game was played in a good spirit and comments from both sides afterwards reflected that. As well as a victory for Parley cricket as a sport was also the winner.
27th May - The decision of half of the regular first team to find alternative entertainment this Saturday allowed the introduction of a number of the younger generation to cricket at this level. U15 Connor Chubb notably the youngest of four aged 19 or less.
After being inserted EMWCC were 48 for 3 after 9 overs but the next partnership took them to 184. After 45 overs they closed on 257 for 6 which included 40 extras. There were 2 wickets each for Jack Nicholls, Tom Blackley and Jamie Hicks.
Captain Sam Collins opened with 43 runs, supported by Alex Cridland and Owen Morris with 24 runs each. Wickets fell at regular intervals and there was a late order response from Jack Nicholls 38 and Jamie Hicks 24. However a total of 227 all out in 44.2 overs was not good enough.
County One looks a distance away. If wanted it will only be realised with some serious cricket and commitment.
20th May - Game cancelled due to a plenitude of precipitation.
13th May - Visitors Old Basing included Shaun Udal, the ex-Hampshire and England player in their line-up. There were also HCL County 2 debuts for Shane Green and Harry Beardsley, following Mark Stutter's introduction to the Parley ranks last week. Which proved to be the inspiration to us as winning the toss and electing to bat produced a good and controlled performance? Totalling 249 for 7 in 45 overs the scoring was led by Alex Nippard with an excellent and positive innings of 125 runs in 129 deliveries, including 10 fours and 3 sixes. He was ably supported by skipper Sam Collins and Jack Rowett who both scored 35 runs.
Ollie Green set the tone with an LBW victim off the first ball of the visitors reply. The opposition recovered from 46 for 4 after 12 overs to finally achieve 198 all out in 43.5 overs. Wickets were shared about with Jack Nicholls taking 3 for 28, Ollie Green 2 for 18, Roshan Embalagama 2 for 20 and Tom Blackley 2 for 31.
The most unusual sight of the day was the umpire signalling a six following a shot by the captain. Later video analysis indicated a massive top edge to the pull by Sam Collins. This meant Sam had pulled twice within 24 hours! No video footage of the first event has yet come to light.
As well as the superb individual performance there were good signs of teamworking. Nice to get maximum points, something to build on, a happy bunch of campers and a few shots consumed in the bar after the victory.
6th May - A much anticipated first game in HCL County 2 produced a poor performance against a side who will be in the mix for top spot at the end of the season based on this game. In their warm up preparation and game performance the opposition showed what will be required to be at the forefront for promotion this year.
Overall the bowling was disappointing and 56 extras were conceded. Fielding standards will need to be dramatically improved, which is not an accusation generally linked to this side. Bedhampton scored 290 for the loss of 3 wickets in their 45 overs. This was on a good deck but a particularly uneven outfield.
The batting was marginally better although some may look back and have chosen an improved shot selection given the chance again. All out for 173 in 31.3 overs.
We were poor, we can do much better, we need to believe in our individual and team capabilities and we get the chance to demonstrate these next week. On Saturday 13 May we go again.
