Jacob Taylor causes havoc at some other club he plays for every now and then...

Lewis Bone does the most important thing of the game and wins the toss! The thing about the toss of a coin is that its 50/50. We put Hunton in to bat and looked to take an early advantage and that is exactly what we did. Jacob Taylor was bowling good areas and having been hit for a six in his opening over this really riled him up. Bowling quickly hitting the stumps and with an inform Martin Marenghi behind the stumps the 3s had their tails up. Marenghi taking a great inside edge down the leg side! Jacob Taylor quickly took the first 3 wickets of the game. Andy Barr accompanied him bowling tight and building pressure and he too took 3 wickets. Good catches from Alex Bone and Rob Adams edged us further towards bowling Hunton all out. Martin Prudence and Rob Adams then took a further 5 wickets between them. This took a little longer to get than we would have hoped, having dropped a few. Lewis Bone took a catch at Long off to make up for one. But Jacob Taylor looked like he had had a couple of drinks in the field dropping a few and missing a couple. But luckily for him he bowled well and we mopped up for just 61 after the tail wagged a little. Again keeping the skipper from bowling and he just orchestrates the win from the sidelines.

The batting line up remained the same whilst chasing the score of 61. We aimed to give the batsmen at the top of the order a bit of form. This certainly happened as Alex Bone looked in top form some of the best i have seen and what looked like more of a free flowing Raj Raveendran returned. With Conor Davis and Martin Prudence tidying up what was left to bring home a massive 20 points and a finish time of 4.30. Adding to the fun of all 4 teams winning what a weekend!!!!
