Match report
They say
(who they?) that lightening never strikes twice. Well, they were right. As
perennial number 11 Martin Baker strode to the wicket with the score at 79 for 9
and 58 runs still required, some were hoping of a repeat performance of the
dramatic scenes from 12 months ago, when Baker and Simon Cannel put on 52 for
the last wicket against the same opponents to secure a dramatic 1 wicket
victory. Today, alas, it was not to be. But at least it gave a few
St Andrews
players the willies just thinking about it.
On a scorching hot day, St Michael’s skipper Will Kingston won the toss
and chose to field first. And it looked like a good decision as Baker bowled
Neil Price for a golden duck in the very first over of the day. Chris Baker and
Richard Boyd restored order with half-century partnership before Boyd nicked one
off Baker to wicket keeper Matt Collier. Baker struck again in his next over
when Adam Lloyd mistimed a drive and was caught by Malcolm Swann at mid on for
2.
Chris Baker was next to go, bowled by tearaway Tom Marlow for a solid 37.
After that, the innings slowed, and was only held together by Billy Foreman’s
patient 29. He was eventually out for 29, skying a catch to Will Kingston off
Simon Cannell. Cannell ended up with 4 for 13 as the
St Andrews
tail failed to tuck in to what they thought was an early tea, as one after the
other they succumbed to his tempting pies.
The St Michael’s reply began slowly, with opening batters Bill Kingston and
Alan Bartley unable to score freely against a tight opening spell by the opening
pair of Lawrence John and James Pepperdine. Kingston was run out for 8, and was
followed back to the pavilion by a sorry procession of batters, unable to
increase the tempo as the required rate increased, with only Malcolm Swann (12)
and extras (15) managing to get into double figures. Bartley’s 29 was the only
resistance to the
St Andrews
bowling line up, until he holed out 29, and with it any hopes for a ‘home’
victory.
