This season has to be one of the closest and most intriguing for Wanderers: with only one and a half games remaining, currently in second position, just a mere point from the leaders (Banks). This is going to be a close finish....but of course we anticipate being the happier squad at the end.
After playing LIME in round 7 and convincingly defeating them by 10 wickets, we were assertive in our play against Police in round 8.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not work in our favor which resulted in a ‘no decision’ due to rain fall on days two and three. Turning up on day one to see an outfield more suitable for the feeding of livestock was unbelievable. Grass on some parts of the ground up to your ankles, a pitch that was on the soft and slowish side.....classic example of the poor standard in our club structure. Furthermore, they sent us in to bat on the horror. At the end of day one we ended on 196-6, four runs short of two valuable batting points.
That was led by a well constructed innings by Kraigg Brathwaite, which to mention has been his standard this season, 105 to his name. Other significant scores came from our overseas player Craigg Emmanuel and myself 23 and 20 respectively.
No value for your shots at all. What would be a 4 at any other well prepared ground, was a very painful 1 or 2. Not a day for playing a cover drive and staying in the shot for the cameras.
Our upcoming match away from home-grounds, we head down to the Pine Basin Oval to play MTW. Maximum points would be just what the doctor ordered, but the weather will more than likely have a say in this round of games. Let's pray that our game isn't interrupted.
It has been a very exciting season thus far, but the way we have been playing lately are some great signs of fight and determination to be Div 1 champs. I'm still determined to produce something big, so now would be a perfect time to execute
