In the Round 14 game against the 2nd placed Team he opened the bowling and bowled 5 overs. On day 2 of the match, he bowled his maximum of 10 overs. After his 15 overs, spread over 2 weeks he finished with 15 overs 2 wickets for 5 runs that included a no ball.
It may be possible that something like this has happened in years past but in the long –term memory of your friendly author nothing like these figures have been achieved.
Irrespective of whether it is / or isn’t a record, all those present witnessed something special.
Man Vs Wild
Move over Bear Grylls – we have our own version on intrepid adventurers with Harry Whitehouse (D1 Red) – all 13 years of age. Apart from being one of the best bats in the Team Harry is also prepared to take on nature with a fearless predator – a Kookaburra who he was giving the eye to show who was boss.
The result of the staring match – a draw with both Harry and the Kookaburra not giving an inch.
Not a game to remember
B1 star bat, Lachlan Edwards, was brought into the C1 side to kick-start their Premiership run. Lachie scored 10 runs in 41 deliveries. He did though top score as the Team was out for 38 runs – the 2nd lowest C1 score in our history and just missing out on the lowest ever score of 35 back in 2005
He then bowled the last over of the Lions ‘run chase’ and went for 14 runs in 5 balls.
Being a Club Man Lachie then went to help out B1 in the field. He dropped a catch and cost Chris Williamson his first 5 for since 2018/19
