Another comprehensive victory for E C
& B at Cressing. Mr. Slow won the toss for E C & B and
immediately elected to field on a green wicket which had seen
some overnight rain and promised to provide help to the new-ball
bowlers. And so it proved. The Cressing openers struggled to
cope with the prodigious away-swing of Nick Oakley and miserly
accuracy from Chris Chambers. Two wickets fell in the second
over and further wickets fell at regular intervals with Mr Slow
himself amongst the wickets (thanks mainly to an improbable
full-stretch catch from Patrick) and McKenna just too good with
the ball. Cressing closed at 55 all out after only one hour at
the crease.
Straight round and the E C
& B batters made rapid progress despite the early loss of
Lewis Chambers. The Coyle brothers ensured that the target was
reached without further alarm, with young Kevin hitting the
final delivery for four from a left-handed batting stance!
Arrogant maybe, but we all wish we could do it! Cricket ended at
just 3.10pm, prompting an early and welcome tea.
Promotion to Division 2 of the
League is now assured and we need only to win the coming
weekend's game to ensure promotion as champions of the division,
whatever the other results.
