Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 … Update No. 200 – Merry Christmas to All!! Black Caps Win T20I Series vs Pakistan 2-1 Mark Chapman scored a very well compiled 34 at Eden Park in the 1st T20I at Eden Park last Friday. Coming in with Seifert in full flow, Chappie, looking at ease, fed his partner the strike. A single off evey ball, never a dot till, on Seifert’s dismissal, he immediately upped his pace. A straight 6 and then a 4 crashing through cover.

Wellington 124 N Perera 1/16 (4) Auckland 127/7 N Robinson 33* Won by 3 wickets A win over Wellington to conclude the Tournament. Another, last baller – chasing Wellington’s 124, Auckland was 6/85 when Nikith was out, then 7/105 - 20 still needed off 13 balls. Come the last over – 13 still required, U Patel and Nathan Robinson at the crease. First ball – a single to Patel, 2nd – a 4 to Nathan who then hit three 2s. Last ball – 1 to tie, 2 to win – and Nathan hit a 4! A win to Auckland by 3 wickets. A remarkably level headed performance by Nathan who finished 33 not out. A brilliant Tournament – the Christmas break will be needed to steady shattered nerves!! Last Weekend – 19 & 20 December Sat. 19 Dec. Premier Men’s Grade - Jeff Crowe Cup Round 2.

Note the players’ intensity! Left Fanie de Villiers – 1/30. His wicket, 2/93, was of Cole Briggs (22) who has been in good form recently Right Aniket Parikh – he bowled Winter for 20 – 4/210 Ben Rae – lead the chase with a succesion of superb drives – off front & back foot. With Ben caught having hit 66 and the total 122, Andy Lane (above) took over Andy’s 95 was studded with some immensely powerful drives – he hit 5 sixes and 5 fours and was unlucky to be caught right on the mid wicket boundary just short of a well desered ton. Out at 204, still 80 needed! Will Ormiston - held the fort, produced some lovely drives and, with Aniket (35), took us to 250 Fanie (18 off 8 & 2 x 6) and Josh (17 off 11) then saw us home with 7 balls to spare Fanie and Josh – job done!

Against Ellerslie, our lads hd woken up from the Saturday night party – the bowlers sparked and Flynn and Andy excelled with the bat. Craig was only at the Papatoetoe game but has provided some great photos: All Papatoetoe’s Luke Istead skies one – Flynn is under it – all eyes on Flynn – will he/won’t he? Flynn bags it! Papatoetoe 41/2 and Parnell hopes are high. Josh, the bowler is jubilant, Flynn is hugely relieved! A plan that worked? Jubilation all round but only one more wicket fell, at 93, and Papatoetoe romped home.
