St. Peter’s 1st XI vs Chiddingly 1st XI - 2 September 2017
A win for St. Peter’s by 242 runs
St. Peter’s won the toss and elected to bat on a green pitch. Openers Greg Lee and Toby Pierce set about the Chiddlingly attack with a vengeance, making 146 for the first wicket and scoring at seven an over. They fell in consecutive overs, with Pierce making 84 and Lee, 52. However, this did little to stem the run-rate. Marco Lincoln came in at three and scored 45 from 35 balls and captain Max Wheatley hit 35 from only 15 deliveries, including three sixes, two of which were hit out of the ground.
Duncan Andrews and Rohan Doyle both faced 37 deliveries as they scored 67 and 62 not out respectively to complete the carnage. At the end of their 45 overs, St. Peter’s had scored 389 for 6, so Chiddingly were therefore set an unlikely 390 to win at a required rate of 8.67 runs per over.
In reply, Chiddingly started briskly as the new ball came off the bat quickly. However, they soon started to lose wickets as Wazir Khan tore the heart out of the top and middle orders. Opener Freddie Marlow top scored with 39 and there were scores of 34 from Chris Parker and 31 from George Lofthouse, but there was only one highlight of an innings that never looked to come close to the target and that was Wazir Khan’s amazing 6 for 7 from 7.3 overs.
