The Ongley team put on a 27 run partnership as they batted
together in the Bs for the first time!!!!
Brandi had a big day out with a PB of 42 and bowling very
well 3/22 off eight overs.
Serena batted for over 25 balls again (second game in a row)
for six.
We started well against West Torrens taking 4/3 in the sixth
over. Cara swung the ball late taking
one wicket and troubling the West Torrens skipper and ex-Australian player
Caroline Ward. Brandi took two three wickets in her opening spell to have them
5/37 in the 18th.
An 86 run stand for the sixth wicket took them to 7/130 in
the 36th over and some late hitting saw them 8/148.
Our aim was to bat the overs and spend some time in the
middle early in the season. Brandi and Divya gave us an very good platform
taking us to 1/48 in the 11th over. (Divya is our latest recruit from
the Darren Lehmann Academy). She batted
with good aggression and ran well.
A 15 run sixth wicket stand between Brandi and Rachel Dicko
gave us a sniff of an unlikely win as we were able to get the runs / over to
less than four.
But the introduction of Jolanda Winson slowed the run rate
and wickets fell. We finished 15 runs short.
The A Grade was a similar story where we fell 36 runs short
in our quest for 158.
We had Kensis 1/19 in the fifth, 2/27 in the sixth and 3/73
in the 12th, but a 85 run stand between state squad members Doecke
and Pope took the game out of our reach.
T Mac was the most
economic with 14 off her four overs with 16 dots out of 25 balls.
Tabby Saville maintained her good form with 49 off 32. T Mac
scored 27 off 23 (including one 6!!) to see us within 73 with eight overs to
go. But spinner Shae Daly took the wickets of Tabby and T Mac within five runs
to put the pressure on.
This week:
The Bs go back to T 20 format with two games at Park 23 and
the As playing Port at home in a 50 over
game.
