Stocksfield (A) v Corbridge Angels

Tuesday 15th June 2010

It was a great effort on Tuesday night against the rather impressive top of the league side, who had an abundance of Ladies County players:

STOCKSFIELD I WON BY 137 RUNS 

Stocksfield elected to bat  first and our bowling stats are:-

From the 20 overs: (again there are some discrepancies in the score book as to the batting v bowling figures, so please bear with me as this may slightly change when Stocksfield publish their result)

Lisa (4):                    39 runs

Cheryl (5)                  45 runs

Jen (5):                     25 runs. 

Chloe (5):                  44 runs.  For one wicket (our only point of the night)

Karen (1)                    8 runs

This includes the extras of 11 wides & 4 byes.

For the 5 ladies to bowl against such skilled batsmen was a great achievement.  Special mention to both Chloe for that incredible wicket and really working on her pace and Jen for achieving such a terrific average.  Well done the young guns!

FIELDING

Lisa was a marvel in the field not only trying her hardest to keep us all right, but covering so much ground.  She was replaced by Lizzie for the last 5 overs, which made Lizzie’s night.    Tishy was complemented by Chris C for her backing up (what an honour) and Karen C saved a 4  with her knee!  It is an aspect of the game that is understandably (given our average age, and lack of experience at cricket) not coming particularly easily for us.  Nevertheless we are trying and giving it our all, so it can only get better.

 

BATTING

Lisa                   bowled                     0

Jen                   bowled                      1

Sally                  caught                       1

Cheryl               caught                       5

Karin                 bowled                      6

Chloe                caught                       0             

Tishy                 stumped                    0

Karen                not out                      2

Stocksfield gave away 10 extras (1 no ball, 8 wides, 1 bye)

TOTAL – 25 for 7 wickets

The highlight of the night was the Cheryl / Karin partnership.  The two stalwarts of the evening allowed our team to come away holding our heads up high by staying in for 17.5 overs, both ladies staying in bat for over 8 overs each against those fierce bowlers...  Also, we have an official specialist in the team – she is Karen (I’ve never been out yet) Chomse.  This is our third match, and no bowler is a match for our sticky wicket Chomse.  With 3 of us getting caught, we might need to start getting a bit of technical guidance as to how to keep that ball down, and Tishy will never be out of her crease again, but this is why we play these matches because we can only learn from all the experiences. 

We will get 1 point for this match (more than we got against their 2^nd team)

THANKS TO THE TIFFINS:  STEPHEN FOR UMPIRING & SANDRA & AARON FOR SCORING.  Our other specialist is Gillian, who is heading up the Angel support team (I hope it is that and not just the food Gillian likes?) And all the other loyal family supporters and Lizzie’s family for coming along to give encouragement.
