COVER POINT - Weston Creek Cricket Club

Round 14 Vs. TEACHERS YarralumlaWhat can you say. Teachers hit a huge4-247 off 48 overs. That is a hell of alot of runs. Wicket takers were LeonBuchanan 1-20 off 10 and Paul Shaky 2-56.To our credit, in reply we scored 189 off38.2 overs, easily our highest score butstill 58 runs short. In the runs again wasNeil Angel with a brilliant 72, (11 foursand a 6). Support came from James Florentwith 24, Richard K 23, Gerard Oakes 13and Trevor Thomas 12no.I am finding it increasingly difficult toremember what it is like to be on a winningside.Round 15 Vs. WODEN Mill CreekAnother disaster. 6 batsmen into doublefigures with a highest score of 21 no fora total of 118. Only Chris Browning (21no)and Steve Morris (19) with a last wicketpartnership of 30 gave us something tobowl at.An opening partnership by Woden of 88 (bywhich stage we had lost 9) put the issuebeyond real doubt until the introductionof Paul Shakespear into the bowling attack.Shaky terrorized the batsmen with his wellpitched slow medium hard grenades to pickup 3-25. The way that Shaky controlledthe ball must be something akin to Manchesterin 1956. The bemused look on thebatsman's face as a near wide careeredpast his face over middle stump is somethingthat needs to be seen to be believed.Woden however weathered a 5 for 19collapse to win by 5 wickets.Round 16 VS. GINNINDERRAWin byforfeit.Round 17 Vs. CCAEDraw due to rain.Round 18 Vs. TUGGERANONG YarralumlaAgain a lack of finishing power in ourbowling let our opposition off the hook.After being 7-95 they finished up at 9-91after 43 overs. Wicket takers were JasonHossack 2-44, Paul Shaky 2-26, Steve Morris1-24, Dave Crane 1-20 and Darren Hossack1-30.In reply, we were set for a big score toovertake Tuggeranong but at 4-119 after28 overs the rain came. Top scorer wasCraig Dyke with a hard hit 47. Other contributorswere Richard K with 11 and GaryMoore 13 (3 x 4 through slips). DarrenHossack remained on 36 not out.Round 19 Vs. ANU YarralumlaSame old story. Not enough runs. Thetoss was won by ANU and we were compelledto bat. That we made 126 wasmainly due to our up-the-grades-importDavid Hazell. He made an immaculate60 out of 98 runs scored while he was atthe crease with 5 others. The main supportcame from Jason Hossack with an intelligentknock of 15no, and a solid 13 fromRichard K, who has made double figuresin 8 out of 11 completed knocks this year.ANU passed our total with 6 wickets downin the 40th over. Another 30 or 40 runswould have provided an excellent game.The best of the bowlers were DarrenHossack 2-25 off 10 and Leon Buchanan2-32 off 9. Other wicket takers were PaulShaky 1-6 and Steve Morris 1-27.DarrenHossacknewk'S tennisw © r l d1*-COMPETITIVE PRICESDISCOUNTSSHOP 3 LEVEL 2COSMOPOLITAN BUILDINGWODEN ACT.10% REDUCTION ON PRODUCTION OFTHIS ADVERTCOME TO THE EXPERTSCOME TO newk s
