Match Reports
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.
