Coll 9A's Vs Tawa, 8th November 2009

Well well well, a win in the end, a pretty average game of cricket. Firstly the pitch. A SHOCKER! Was a grass wicket that didn't bounce one bit. So we bowled first. We didn't get any early wickets, but we kept the scoring rate down - 41-0 after 19 overs. Sam W got a wicket at last and then Tawa continued the ''block block'' attitude and continued there extreamly low run rate as we continued to bowl on the right area's. We started getting wickets and, Te Raina getting 2 great runouts, both direct hits. Jesse T came on and bowled well, 5 overs, 3 wickets for 6 runs off 5 overs, good stuff. Te Raina, 0-9 off 7 overs. All bowlers bowled well. Tawa got 105-7 off 40 tite overs by us. We soon found the pitch a complete nightmare - bounce and slowness, I was out LBW for nothing. We were 37-5 and looked very shakey but Danny and Te Raina batted great, just the partnership that we needed! 50 runs exactly for the 6th wicket. Te went out at 87-6 for a very handy and mature 19. Jesse came in and got 4* and Danny was 54*(great knock) when we passed 105 after 34 overs. A decent win on the worst cricket pitch in wellington i've played on in all my games of cricket.
