He quickly made his way through the middle order taking 5/15-20ish and the game from Normanhurst.
I do have to go back to Todd and Ben Buzz Jr. their overs were amazing. Not missing a single ball and killing Normo one dot at a time. Awesome stuff.
All in all a great win, and was great to see the fans out in force for the win.
3rd Grade
WPHC White (Indranil) 6/147 defeated WPHC Red (Aniket) 100
Perfect Greenway conditions, sun was out and a wonderful set up for the 3rd Grade T20 Grand Finals.
And Club derby and what more one can expect on a Sunday morning. One of the officiating umpires was missing which put the focus on only the one available and delayed start by few mins for toss and agreeing the ground set-up.

A quick 40 runs partnership for 2nd wicket with captain Indranil (20) got the innings moving in the first 6 overs. Another 40 runs partnership with Oly, this time Ben D was unlucky to be caught in the deep, just missing out 1 run from his fifty. Some good tight bowling in the middle esp. from Amitava Sen 4-0-18-0, kept the Whites on hold. However the runs kept flowing with some good counter attack from Oly 34, Will 12 and Ben Waldron 10. The innings finished at 147 losing 6 wickets.
You never know what’s a good score to defend at Greenway, where the outfield is fast, and Reds opened their innings with their seasoned opener Laksh and Harry. Ben Waldron and Reyhan opened
