Today saw the first mighty clash between BEWCC and Australia. It was a wonderful close game. Australia Won the toss and decided to bat. It was a muggy hot day and Australia set a total of 192 from 35 overs. BEWCC bowled and fielded like demons, wickets were spread throughout the team and every time a batsmen made progress the team came together and pegged things back. The bowling was particularly tight in the final overs. Anu bowled quite beautifully and was supported by a committed team.

BEWCC then batted well, JBS and ADM set the tone with a fine start before Anu hit a fine half century. JPR injected passion and pace into the scoring, but ultimately a very close finish fell to the bowlers to close. Harry stood firm and he and Deni scrambled the last few runs to win with a single from the last ball. The game ebbed and flowed a number of times. Fortunately for BEWCC the recent ashes pattern was maintained and BEWCC prevailed.

Tomorrow brings the West Indies. Another mighty game could follow.
