Sporting Alfas Cricket Club Lost

Match report Cryptics CC 265-6 (40 overs)
SACC 2nd XI 136 all out (32.3 overs)

On a fine and sunny day at the Woodbridge Oval, the Cryptics CC won
the toss and chose to bat. Setting off in positive fashion, the
openers scored freely against the home attack. The introduction of
Spencer (1-18), striking with his first ball to remove Vadivale (17),
and Marriner, who removed R.Williams (10), briefly threatened to put
the brakes on the visitors' innings. Fluent knocks from T.Jones (93)
and J.Hamilton (83 not out), however, soon steadied the ship, and the
final total of 265-6 was certainly going to present the home side with
a formidable task, despite the best efforts of Cowley (1-44) and
Ur-Rehman (2-42).

Despite an equally positive start to the home innings, two quick
wickets to Ward (2-26) soon helped the Cryptics establish a
stranglehold. A decent 44 on his return to the side by Climent boosted
the Alfas chase and in conjunction with Spencer (29), an unlikely
victory seemed possible. But once R.Williams (1-28) accounted for
Climent and J.Winter (1-22) picked up the prize wicket of Ur-Rehman,
the game was soon up, the home side capitulating to 136 all out, with
Vadivale, White and Ford each picking up 2 wickets apiece to finish
off the tail.

Fine batting and disciplined bowling by the visitors ultimately won
the day as the home side were powerless to prevent a third straight
defeat.
