Hamish Moore made a superb start to his time at Ellerslie with a fine all round performance. His 117 (12 4's and 5 6's) set up an unbeatable 327, ensuring a recovery from 34-3. He boasted excellent bowling figures as well: 16-5-37-2. His 120 run partnership with Dan Footitt punished Thurgaton, who did well to hang on for a losing draw. In a game of all rounders (Dan and Suman Shrestha duly noted) Sam Cliff did very well for the visitors with 45 and 5-65. 57 points out of 60 to start 2015 - very good reason to be cheerful.
