Wickets

On the 3rd August All Saints' played an entertaining match against St John's Stanmore. All Saints' lost the toss and were forced to bat on the moist pitch. The opening batters (Luke Jahn and David Mercer) made 1 run between them. After the fall of the opening wickets the run rate did not increase markedly. Further wickets were lost without much growth in the run rate. Chris Timms brought new hope and achieved the highest score of fifteen before being caught out square leg by a diving catch. James and Joe Mercer manage the longest innings partnership, slowly, but patiently acquiring seven runs. All Saints' achieved forty runs all out.

Oliver set a fast pace as opening bowler against St John'. St John's opening partnership achieved a good start, however both were to be bowled out in quick succession in the third over by David Mercer. David went on to take another wicket which was the third batsman out for no runs. David Timms (captin) bowling off-spin, also secured three more wickets, two bowled, one LBW. Two catches were dropped, which was to prove expensive for All Saints'. Jemal bowled well. No more wickets fell however and St John's declared at 41 for 6.

All in all it was quite a big defeat but a very fun event. All Saints' will be back next year to claim their victory!
