Presidents
manage to play 1st game of season between the rain showers.
After
a heavy shower at start time Pram. won the toss and elected to
bat on the damp artificial pitch at Manawatu College. Pram. batted
through their 45 overs to score 185 - 9 wickets. The wickets were
shared amonst the Man-Fox. bowlers with Robert Blackbourn taking
2-34, Wayne Blackbourn 1-23, Evan Smith 1-36, Scott Rowe 1-37,
Captain Tom Thomas 2-15 and Justin Greig 2-19.
Batting
in the drizzling rain the Man-Fox. batsmen lasted 34 overs before
being all out for 112 runs. The only batsmen to score were Stacey
Thomas with 46 and No. 8 batsman Robert Blackbourn with 30. Of
the other batsmen there were 5 ducks, two scoring 3 runs and No.
11 Evan Smith 1 not out.
A
Loss to Manawatu-Foxton by 73 runs.
I
Hope the playing equipment dries out enough to be used for next
week and the match ball will not even be used as a practice ball.
