Winning return to Farley Hill
By Adrian Day
Rapid runs seal victory
Waverley won the toss and elected to field first in a 40 over game. J Gunesekara started well
against the opening attack. A Jalil entered the fray in the ninth over and when
Dan Litwin removed the classy Gunesekara, he and B Hussain added 75 for the third wicket. Jalil fell one
shy of a half century and Hussain added a useful 36 before Russell Golding and Ben Harris
shared five wickets between them. Waverley lost a wicket in the second over, but this brought
Harris to the crease and he pushed the run rate to more than ten an over with big shots around
the ground.
Simon Brewer joined him and the score continued to race along before Harris was
dismissed for 58. Brewer (64) and Golding (47) kept up the attack, both being dismissed
before the tail saw Waverley home. K Thorne and Gunesekara both bowled well for Farley Hill.
