CRICKET
BOWLS
CENTRAL DOWNS: October 16 - It was
cloudy across the Downs, and local cricket was back
in action, with Bowenville hosting Pittsworth and
Millmerran hosting Kulpi.
BOWENVILLE v. PITTSWORTH: After two
years and a week one washout, cricket returned to the
Bowenville Homestead, host to the opening match
of the 2022-23 Fiechtner Family Shield season between
Bowenville and Pittsworth, where the hosts
were sent in to bat.
On the home track, the Villians got off to a tentative
start, losing an early wicket and travelling at
about 3.5 runs per over, a thick grassy field making
scoring along the ground a challenge.
Bowenville entered the drinks break on 3/71 with
Brenden Scifleet and Gavin Pattison.
After the break, the focus shifted to ticking over
the score, and a handy last wicket stand of 30 runs
helped the Villians to 144 before being bowled all
out in 38 overs.
Brenden Scifleet was the best bat for the home
team, with 41 not out coming in second drop.
Chaz Cheatley (14), Brendan Cahill (18), Scifleet
(41 not out) and Pattison (19) all scored double figures;
meanwhile, for Pittsworth, Todd Hamlet was
the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/11 from 5
overs, Sam McGinn also picking up 2/6 from 3 overs.
F.O.W. 10, 40, 56, 90, 94, 98, 101, 114, 144; all
out (38).
Defending 144, Bowenville made an immediate
impact through Ajay Kumar, snicking off Ed Mc-
Ginn with the first ball of the inning.
Coming in first drop, Hamlet hit beyond the fence
several times on his way to a quick 56 runs, bringing
up his half century on the stroke of lunch with the
Pelicans 3/62 at the break.
A sprinkle of rain during the break changed the
conditions for both sides, with the ball soaking wet
from the long grass and having a rebirth of sorts with
the bowlers working the ball around with swing.
With the field slower than it already was, the run
rate slowed for Pittsworth, with the ball not reaching
the inner circle without risking a catch.
Meanwhile, disciplined bowling and fielding
from Bowenville allowed them to get wickets just
frequently enough to swing the momentum in their
favour. Hamlet (56) and Jacob Cameron (16) reached
double figures in Pittsworth’s 112 total.
All of the Bowenville bowlers contributed to
the win. Akshit Kaushal (3/34, 8o) showed exemplary
skill in his first game with the club; Chaz
Cheatley (2/9, 8o, 5m) and Jayden Lee (2/21,
8o) bowled a great line and length to limit runs;
Ajay Kumar (2/38, 8o) was pivotal in taking crucial
wickets, and Brenden Scifleet wrapped the game
up with a wicket of his own.
F.O.W. 0, 33, 55, 69, 93, 95, 103, 103, 103, 112;
all out (33).
A win well-earned for the hosts in tricky conditions
for both teams,
Bowenville won by 32 runs on the back of Scifleet’s
41 * and the all-around effort from the bowlers.
MILLMERRAN v. KULPI: Across the Downs,
the 2021-22 grand final rematch in Millmerran began
with the defending premiers Kulpi winning the toss
and opting to bat.
Kulpi, who last season averaged 235 runs when
they batted first, struggled and found themselves in
trouble at 3/35. Marcus Frizzell (47) and Brenden
Schick (19) built a decent partnership for the fourth
wicket; still, two players short of an entire squad and
very economical bowling from Millmerran limited
Kulpi to 98 runs in 34 overs.
Trent Mullins led the attack with the ball with figures
of 3/13 from eight overs (eco. 1.62) with James
Sinclair, 2/11 (8o, eco. 1.83)
Dom Briggs, 1/6 (3o); and Stephen Lindeque,
1/24 (4o) all collecting wickets, with mentions also
to Lachlan Folker who had figures of 0/8 from five
overs with three maidens. F.O.W. 28, 28, 34, 73, 78,
83, 98; 7/98 (34).
Millmerran opened their innings with Daniel
Betts, who showed his class hitting, bringing up a
half-century in 46 balls and finishing 63 not out from
52 balls, finding the boundary on nine occasions.
Kulpi were able to get two wickets through Frizzell
(1/24, 6o) and Nick Spies (1/14, 3o.)
But the total wasn’t big enough to defend from
Betts and Alex Kahler (19 not out from 12 balls.)
Millmerran chased the total in 15.3 overs to win by
8 wickets. F.O.W. 24, 52; 2/100 (15.3).
The end of Round 1 in the 40 overs competition
sees Millmerran hold the top spot over Bowenville
on percentage, with Kulpi at the rear.
• Next week’s matches sees Pittsworth hosting
Millmerran and Bowenville hosting Kulpi.
