The game got off to a rare good start when we won the toss and elected to bat. The SCA Juniors were unfortunately short of players and played with only 9, leaving plenty of gaps on the field.
The juniors opened the bowling with a senior, player-coach Mahesh, bowling slow mediums. Richie was brilliantly snapped up by a tubling first slip second ball and Pat mistimed a pull from a very short ball straight into the hands of midwicket to leave ANZA 0-2 after the first over. Corbon and David settled things down again adding 60 for the third wicket before Corbon was given LBW for 33. Dharmik and David continued the restoration adding another 20 runs before David skied a catch (25) to set off a mini collapse. With some help from the umpires and some poor shot selection ANZA slipped to 84-6, in some trouble. However Dharmik found a solid partner in Paul and they put on 64 runs together before Paul was caught for 22. Chris Sweet then gave good support to Dharmik before cutting loose to great effect in the last few overs. They added 103 runs undefeated for the 8th wicket, Dharmik finishing with a chanceless 92 no and Chris 54 no, including 5 sixes and his last 44 runs off just 14 deliveries.
This innings saw both of Anza's usual batting faults, no 'big' score and too few significant contributions, solved and the final total was 251-7
Mark started with some very hostile bowling and quickly had one of the young openers back with just 9 runs on the board. However ex-Singaporean player (what, he's 17? and still an ex-Singaporean (senior) player) Timothy Singham was looking totally in control and found good support from his no 3 Rezza as they added 64 for the 2nd wicket before Pat broke the partnership. After that wickets fell at regular intervals as Ash chipped away at the batting and Timothy flourished at the other. However after James too a good running catch over his head from Ash's bowling with eth score at 123-5, Timothy was forced to try and up his pace and hit Ash straight to Corbon at point next ball. The SCA lower order kept contributing though and after Ash finished his spell with 4-43 the last man in, Mahesh, counterattacked hard. The last pair added 64 to take SCA to 212-8 before the last wicket fell. Things may have been a lot closer if SCA had of had a full compliment of players.
Standout performances from Dharmik 92no, Chris Sweet 54no and Ash Perrott 4-31. However it was overall a good team win with contributions from many sources.
