Two more games for the boy in the last 2 days.
Sunday was a development game. We batted first and decided to change things around and had two of our best bowlers opening the batting. One was out 4th ball. The other lad smashed 23 off 8 balls. That set the tone of our innings. After 6 overs we were 54-4, this was a 35 over game.
We then steadied the ship a bit and got through to the end of the 15th over before we lost another wicket at 120-5. Wickets then started falling a bit more regularly before the boy came in at number 9. He smashed a quick 6 before falling. This left out last 2 batsman in who were the only adults in our team. They put on a steady 20, neither really going after the other teams young bowlers before we were all out for 175 off 24.2 overs.
My boy opened the bowling, he never bowls this was only his second over of the season. Runs in and bowls the ball of his life, perfect Yorker that smashed the wicket out of the ground. They never really got going, however our bowling was erratic. The boy bowled a tidy 5-0-21-1 making him one of our more economical bowlers. We somehow gave away 82 in extras (in development games we do wides and no balls as 2 and not re-bowled unless it’s the final over), 58 of them were wides (2 wides went to the boundary which meant 6 runs each time). We fielded really well though, great backing up and communication when needed.
They ended up at 168/6 off their 35 overs and our young team were pleased they’d defended their low total in what turned out to be a close game.
Last night he played an u15s game for another team. We don’t have an age group team so he guests for another local team when they need players but this was his first appearance of the season for them.
I didn’t stay and watch, we came back to watch our under 12 in a game my youngest should have been playing but he broke a finger playing football and is out for a while.
The other team batted first so the boy got to bowl another couple of overs for figures 2-0-13-0. The other team posted 115/4 off their 20.
He opened the batting and saw a couple of partners fall cheaply but got 24 off 30 before he fell to leave his side 41/3. Unfortunately they couldn’t quite get there and finished on 93/4 after their 20 overs.
Couple of nights off now, we’ll got to drop the oldest at training before another T20 on Thursday.
