u12s Sloggers B dominant at Pirton as unbeaten march rolls on!

The heat and an interesting wicket did not put off the unbeaten Sloggers B from their victory push away at a very warm Pirton. Batting first every pair put on a mature display on a pitch of the most varied and unpredictable bounce! We only lost 3 wickets in 20 overs and put on between 25 and 44 runs per pair. On debut Daniel C hit his first scoring shot in cricket for 4, Hayden hit a beauty through deep mid wicket, Joe wacked consecutive 4s and rotated well with Harrison, Will and Frank spanked 6 fours between them, Ed and Byron ran really well between the wickets and finally Toby and Kieran ended with a flourish punishing anything slightly wayward (Toby helping himself to 6 fours!)! 352 for 3 seemed like a lot but the boundaries were half the distance of Cricketfield Lane.....so still needed to be aware.
The bowling ended up being just as impressive as the batting. Daniel bowled 3 overs and each one better than the last including a last over with no extras. Hayden bowled a wicket maiden, Joe and Harrison bowled consistently, Frank and Will bowled straight and Frank also chipped in with a wicket maiden, Byron and Ed were the pick of the bowling combining for 6 wickets during their 4 overs! Ed taking 3 wickets for 2 runs from 2 overs! Toby, Kieran and Daniel concluded the match and despite us converting several players to spin bowling, we came out 100 runs ahead! At the end I was pleased with the performance but even more pleased with the way the boys kept their focus and respect for the opposition despite such a one-sided game. Well done boys. Two more matches....can they go all season unbeaten?
