Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.133 - 18 Nov 2017 – Rain Had Last Say Lockie at Shore Road on Saturday Great support for Lockie last Saturday. Here are two of the Parnell Junior teams that came to see our Black Cap speedster – many thanks to Peter Meredith (Parnell Munro – Grade 5s) and Andrew Barker for these photos. Lockie didn’t take a wicket in the morning – ECB put up commendable resistance but Josh Fisher tidied up their innings to gain his first 5/for. Lockie had more successs in ECB’s 2nd innings taking 2/8 off 5 overs before rain intervened. ECB were 25/3 having been set a target of 251. When rain stopped play, Lockie joined with the Water Boys in kicking & throwing a rugby ball – appropriate game considering the weather Men’s Premier Grade Hedley Howarth Trophy - Two Day Championship, Round 3.

Started with great expectations – Lockie had been released by the Aces to play, crowds of youngsters, their games just finished, came to watch with their dads. ECB 129/6 – a collapse now could give us an outright and the Championship lead. No – whilst Lockie bowled with all the expected fire and Rav put the ball on the spot, the overnight batsmen played with skill and grit. On Day 1., Cole Briggs had gone to the crease at 64/4 and Harrison joined him at 110/6 and they saw out the Day. Now they dug in again and despite a torrid few overs from Lockie it was not till Josh was given the ball that Harrison was skittled – 155/7. Dean chipped in – Groenink caught and bowled, 167/8 – then, 2 runs later, finally, Briggs was caught behind off Josh. A very commendable innings – against a fired up attack, 105 runs were scored whilst he was at the wicket. And still the tail wagged. More incidents – the marquee blew down, then a swarm of bees caused havoc amongst the onlookers and no. 10, Jayden Quensell ducked into a short ball from Josh. Hit on the helmet first aid had to be administered to his cut ear. Then, mercifully, Josh bowled no. 11 to claim his first Premier 5 for. And Lockie remained wicketless! 1. Josh Fisher on the way to his first 5 for. 2. His Dad, John in action the week before, gremlins thwarted this photo being included in last week’s Update 133. Jayden Quensell, ECB’s no. 10, struck by Josh and First Aid being administered by Nurse Gill Lane. Rod Schmulian has sinced advised that “Jayden had a few stitches on Saturday evening and has had a subsequent checkup with the doctor and it appears all is ok” Bees swarming from the hives on Waitaramoa Reserve nearby & the onlookers hit the deck Josh Fisher – 5/46, his maiden Premier 5 for, leading the Team from the field to applause from his teammates, Coach & the Waterboy Quick runs to allow a declaration was the Skipper’s order: And our batsmen responded -1. Ben Rainger – 64 off 71 balls. 2. Jesse Simpson hit 4s off the seat of his pants – 39 off 32 Earlier, Andy Lane had hit two 6s & two 4s in his 28 ball 34 Brad Rodden clobbered 34 off only 9 balls (4 x 6s!) and was not out (photos 1 & 2), the Skipper hit a 6 &, with 200 up, declared. 251 the target for ECB, 10 wickets for Parnell: All eyes on Lockie and he didn’t disappoint. The new ball whistled Lockie had batsmen ducking & diving but it was at the other end that Rav snared the first wicket – Delport caught behind. Then, at last, it was Lockie’s turn and, at 18, he had Raj caught by Dean and, immediately after, Langridge was LBW. 18/2 - a sniff of victory for Parnell– no, light drizzle set in, off the field they came and, though the rain lightened still more, that was the end, rain had the last say. Postscript: A delightful consequence of Lockie’s release from the Aces – one Waterboy morphed into six! Thanks Auckland Cricket and the Selectors of the Aces!

The weather held off long enough for a result with Parnell reduced to 10 players a quarter of the way into their fielding effort with Alisha Hyndman off with a damaged hand. Cornwall batted first scoring 339/5 in their 50 overs (Sarah Carnachan 141, ex Middlesex player Maia Bouchier 42 and Katy Perkins 58 no) with best economy coming from Shriya Naidu 7.1.32.0 (4.57) spinner Samantha Brake-Howard 10.0.52.1 (5.20) and Isabel Mills 4.0.20.0 (5.00). The bowling effort this week was a vast improvement with extras, wides in particular, substantially reduced from the previous week. Given 10 players and the quality of the opposition a pretty good bowling effort however the fielding was fairly average, conceding way too many runs inflating Cornwall’s score. Plenty of fielding work at training to come. Parnell went out to bat and were quickly in trouble, eventually succumbing in 37.2 overs for 101 all out. Only Shriya Naidu with 34 runs batted for any time and managed a notable score. Batting remains the area to work on for Parnell. However, this is Parnell’s first year back in a 3 year plan to build a competitive side. The team is gelling well and improving every week which is all that can be asked at this early stage.
