Update No.177 – Great Expectations

Australia vs – 1st Test, Optus Stadium,Perth, West Australia

Expectations are indeed high for this series which starts this evening at 6.00pm. This Test will be the 58th Test between NZ and Australia. Australia has played 351 tests against England, 98 against South Africa, 116 vs West Indies, 98 vs India, 64 vs Pakistan, 29 vs Sri Lanka, 3 vs Zimbabwe and 6 vs Bangladesh. New Zealand has played 105 vs England, 45 vs South Africa, 47 vs West Indies, 57 vs India, 58 vs Pakistan, 36 vs Sri Lanka, 19 vs Zimbabwe and 13 vs Bangladesh This will be 4th Test between us at Perth, the Australian city with the largest percentage of New Zealanders. All 3 have been played in November – the first, in 1989, was most notable for Mark Greatbatch scoring 76 and 146* and he and coming together at 7/234 and holding out 202 minutes to stumps and a draw. Next, 8 years later in 1997, we lost rather dismally by an and 70 runs We played in Perth, 18 years ago in 2001, we batted first and piled on 534/9 dec. – Lou Vincent 104, 105, 156 and Adam Parore 110. Aussies, 7/381 in their 2nd innings needing 440 to win, held out for a draw. The 4th occasion – a runfest in 2015 – Warner hit 253 of Australia’s 559/9dec. to which we replied with 624 – 166 and 290 – unsurprisingly the Test was a draw. AND NOW, AT THE NEW OPTUS STADIUM,WE MEET THERE AGAIN! NO LONGER AT THE WACA, WILL THERE BE PACE IN THE PITCH? AND WILL LOCKIE BE UNLEASHED?

Jubilation – the smile tells all!

Last Saturday – Cup Round 3.

Round 3. 7 Dec.. Parnell vs Howick Pakuranga at Lloyd Elsmore Park 1.

PARNELL 229/6 (48) Flynn McGregor-Sumpter 64 (110), Ben Horne 98 (114), Brad Rodden 25 (34) Extras 31 (26w, 1nb,4lb), M McClenaghan 2/38 (9), D Grobbelaar 2/30 (10) CORNWALL 228/7 (48) W Walsh 38 (78), B Barnard 45 (46), A Jones 31 (29), R Botadra 25* (25) Josh Fisher 3/48 (10), Fanie de Villiers 1/58 (10), Keegan Russell 2/34 (10). Aniket Parikh 1/45 (7). Also – Jack Parsons 0/20 (5) and Ben Horne 0/28 (6) RESULT: Parnell won by 12 runs (DLS – rain reduced game to 48/48 & HP needing 241 to win, not 230) Howick Pak. produced their “All Star” attack of former Black Cap, Mitch McClenaghan, and Aces Donovan Grobbelaar and Jamie Brown backed by Rutvik Botadra and the very promising Adam Jones. Missing for HP were McEwen and Fernz – away with the Aces in Hobart. We were lacking Lockie (Black Caps), Will Somerville and Mark Chapman (Aces) and key pace bowlers Ollie Pringle and Ganesh Ratnasabapathy and spinner Nikith Perera ( U19s). Aces at least let us have Ben Horne who had a rest from the gloves and tested his bowlingarm instead. And what a disasterous start – Ben Rainger lbw to McClenaghan 1st ball and Ben Rae lbw to Grobbelaar – both without scoring. Not fazed, Flynn and Ben Horne rescued the situation – from 2/3 they took the total to 169 when Jamie Brown snared Ben for 98. Flynn carried with his skipper before being caught off Brown 200/4. Rain disrupted the final flurry – a long break at 42 overs then 3 more to close. Absolutely full marks to Ben Horne – a superb 98 and to Flynn for his truly excellent support!

Flynn McGregor-Sumpter (left) with Ben Horne (right) put on 166 for the 3rd wicket – a match winning effort! Chasing the DLS adjusted total of 241, Howick Pak, in contrast to us, had a sound start before Keegan had Young caught - 55/1. Morrison was run out 2 runs later and Keegan dismissed Walsh at 93. But Barnard threatened till he was cut short by Fanie. More fell but Jones and Botadra stuck and upped the pace – quite tense - I’ll let Craig take up the story: “30 needed off 3 overs, then 23 off 2 overs, 16 off 1 over. Josh an excellent last over - 1, then dot (swing and miss), then 1, so 13 off 3 balls. High catch -Jones caught by Aniket , so 12 to tie 2 balls left, another skied hit caught (McClenaghan caught 1st ball by ’keeper Harry Miller). Jamie Brown blocked the hattrick ball, so a win by 12 runs. Some great mixes of slower balls from Josh”. Very good game and another excellent performance with the ball by Josh Fisher and Keegan Russell.

Keegan Russell who made the initial breakthrough Josh Fisher who came back and bowled a great last over

Only 1 wicket each to Fanie (left) and Aniket but vital ones of Barnard and L Winn

No wickets to either Jack Parsons (left) or Ben Horne but both bowled vitally tight spells
