South West 8/116 Df by PHR Dedication 3/120
Game three against South West may be the game that's decides this years horses arse award for 2015.
It started like any other game with Tyler losing another toss and being told to have a bowl. New recruit Lachlan 'Giddy' Rohde was given the honour of first ball which was duly dispatched for four. This noticeably angered Giddy who two balls later dispatched his stumps in turn.
After another wicket to the new recruit, and some tight bowling by McCarthy (1-15) and Joel McMahon (0-17), South West were struggling to get going. It was at this point that the Dedication of old came back with some atrocious fielding that resulted in 6 dropped catches and countless misfields. Despite this, Ian McMahon (2-13) continued his bamboozling deliveries bowling one of the top batsman through his legs (to this point no one truly knows how that actually happened). Some great death bowling by Giddy (4-33) and Caleb Galloway (0-29) restricted the opposition to 116 from their allotted 20 overs with little assistance from their fielders it must be said.
It must be noted that despite Adam Burke's seemingly below-par fielding (2 dropped catches) and subsequent betting plunge on his horse arse odds, he was able to hit their best bowlers bowling arm from a rocket throw from the boundary, significantly reducing South Wests bowling fire power.
The Dedication innings started poorly with both Burke and Falconer failing to take flight to the much improved bowling of South West. Despite the insistence of the skipper, Warren Sparkes refused to pad up due to the perceived extreme pace of the opposition bowling even without their fastest bowler. This did not deter McCarthy and Mills however, with both of them putting up a solid partnership with Mills flourishing against the extra pace on offer. After McCarthy (26) was added to the "run out by Millsy club", Giddy came to the crease and looked good until he skied a dolly straight to the keeper. Joel McMahon was already up and walking to come on, however much to everyone's disbelief the keeper didn't even get a glove on it!! This ended up being the defining moment of the match with Giddy (33) and Mills (42) putting the bowlers to the sword with some brutal cricket and baseball shots. Hutt River Provence ended up reaching the target with ease, where once again a late call up player provided a man of the match performance.
