Ashton Wold Sunday Skipper Harry Chapman started the day badly by losing the toss on a really nice looking batting pitch so we started off in the field.
Lloyd and Matt opened the bowling and tested both of the opening batsmen by bowling accurately.
Yet again we had Ashton Wolds very own fielding version of Monty Panesar in the action again by dropping one of the openers at midwicket off Matts bowling again like he did the day previously. Although yesterday’s chance was a difficult one, this was just an easy one.
Matt decided to take a certain fielder out of the equation though and bowled out the opener 2 balls later for a well deserved wicket.
This first wicket while the score was on 27.
Lloyd was taken off for a rest after a brilliant spell and was replaced by sugar who did what he does best and kept it tight.
The no. 3 bat went for a wild slog and the ball went up and circled and swirled above Casper..... who defied all logic and held onto the catch to make up for the disappointment of earlier. The score was now 63 and after Matt had finished his spell and after a brief over from Chris White, who struggled bowling into the wind, Dan came on.
He got a wicket in his first over, he bowled the no.4 for 8 but throughout his spell he struggled into the wind and kept bowling short. Chris White relieved Sugar and took a wicket straight away to have the No.6 bowled for 1 to being the score to 130 and Dan was taken off and Sam Nowlan given a go into the wind. At this stage Braunstone were hitting quick runs to build a big target and sadly Young Sam bore the brunt of this. After Sam got a wicket in his first over caught by the safe hands of Mark Buckley at mid on the No.8 tore into the bowling and launched 3 sixes on the trott to finish 30 not out. Dan was brought on for the last over and went for a few runs but got a final wicket caught by the Ashton Wold debutant Ian White at square.
After some poor bowling the total was 203. Braunstones opening batsmen Bindley who fell at the end finished up on was well made 67.
After a nice tea the opening batsmen Mr Awdry and Peter Lucas walked out and tried to get us off to a good start.
Rich was run out from a direct hit from near the boundary, a brilliant throw for 1 run and this meant the Skipper Harry joined Pete very early in the innings. Braunstones opening bowlers Hartwell and Scrivens bowled a good line and length and the Ashton batsmen found runs hard to come by. Pete was bowled while the score was on 15 and this brought "The Don" as Mark likes to call himself to the crease. After a bowling change J.Suffolk bowled Harry with a low full toss for 6 and this left us at 27-3. Sam Nowlan and Mark set about rescuing the innings and after a few blows from Sam and Mark Sam was bowled again for 25 by J.Suffolk and we were looking bad at 75-4. Ashton Wold Debutant Ian strode to the crease for his first bat for a few years and made 5 before becoming Brownstone's slow bowlers first of four victims for 5.
This brought Dan to the crease who got off the mark straight away but he missed a full toss to be bowled for 4. In between the wickets falling Mark had taking a liking to the slow bowler and hit a total of 4 sixes all hit to the square boundary and reached a very well made 50. Unfortunately Mark missed a ball which bounced twice from the same bowler who he hit for the sixes and was bowled for 59 to leave the score 127-7.
Lloyd and Chris tried to keep the team in the hunt but wickets kept falling, Lloyd first for 1 and then Matt for 3 and then Chris fell to end the game for 5 and the Ashton score was 140. Disappointing score on a good wicket so we will have to make sure we bat and bowl better next weekend.
