Rob Nicol, former Aces skipper now captaining Otago, was lbw in both innings, victim to a couple of vicious yorkers. Derek de Boorder twice went to leave the ball only for it to cut sharply back and take his stumps. Congratulations Lockie and very best wishes for the remainder of the season! NEWSFLASH!

Ben Rainger lost opening partner, Flynn McGregor-Sumpter early but with Mitch McCann (2.) got the side off to a solid start after we had lost the toss and been sent in to bat. 1. During their partnership, Waterboy Jacob hands Ben his water bottle. Sadly for us both Ben and Mitch got out just when looking settled for a big total and Andy Lane Brad Rodden and Jesse Simpson all fell quickly, too. Skipper Dave Goddard, back at the helm after missing the previous game, stuck around for a while (photo 2.) Another Waterboy – Oliver Kittle bringing drinks out to the batsmen But the saviour of the innings was Dean van Deventer (photos 1 & 2) – a swash-buckling innings of 87 and some stickability from the tail gave us a semi respectable total to defend. Then our turn to attack – Rav, wicketless last week, was all fire as was Dean. Wickets fell quite steadily though Briggs dug in and remained right through to stumps Mid afternoon a severe gust toppled the marquee but our scorers remained unruffled - Catches win matches – Andy Lane take a superb catch at slip despite being slightly unsighted by our ‘keeper 1. Yes Andy, it stuck! 2. Elliot Foster behind the stumps, deputising for Ben, gave a very polished display NOW IT IS ALL ON – ECB, 111 BEHIND WITH 4 WICKETS IN HAND – DAY 2., SATURDAY, SHOULD BE ENTHRALLING AND ……… LOCKIE COULD BE BOWLING FOR US!

What about a 10 wicket win – just as meritorious as an innings win, why not 2 points? 2. Bonus Points are still hugely important – we have missed several already this season – 226/10 vs Cornwall in Round 1., just 4 more runs would have earned an additional point Round 2. – 225/5 vs Howick Pak. & having them 188/8 – 5 more runs & 1 more wicket would have given us 2 additional points. Bonus points are crucial to winning the Championship and players must be very aware of them and to take advantage at every opportunity. Premier Mens’ Grade Draw to 31 December 2017 11 & 18 Nov.

COACH ROY GOODYEAR REPORTING: We got in a whole days play!! We lost the toss and were asked to field The day belonged to Ben Hick. His 174 off 127 balls was a master class in bating particularly against spin. His 100 came off 64 balls including 8 x 6's and 5 x 4's. Between Hick and George Hanham they put together a 164 run partnership out of an innings total of 297. At lunch SNL were 182 for 2. After the break the Parnell lads strung together 34 overs of much tighter bowling with William St John and Joe Gray bowling well in tandem. Joe ending up with 2 for 42 off 15 and Will with 1 for 23 off 11. After some early punishment Hamish Robertson and Henry Glogau ended with figures of: 2 for 70 off 14 and 4 for 67 off 11 respectively In reply we batted through a difficult last period of 26 overs on a pitch that had got lower and slower. We ended up with 67 for 2 wickets. Simon wood unfortunately holing out in the penultimate over for 11 runs off 67 balls leaving Hamish Robinson on 30 not out and Joe Gray taking on the night watchmen duty 7 not out. Roll on next Saturday. Women’s Premier Reserve Grade – T20 11 November – Armistice Day PARNELL vs. NORTH SHORE Melville Park 4a. NORTH SHORE 121/5 (20) Emma Nisbet 3/20 PARNELL 90/10 Lexy Bassett 32 (23) RESULT: NORTH SHORE WON BY 31 RUNS MANAGER TOM BASSETT REPORTING: Hosting North Shore in the third round of the T20 competition, Parnell lost the toss and were sent into the field. North Shore lost an early wicket to Emma Irwin, but then benefitted from some loose bowling to score freely at the start. Emma Nisbet came on to break the partnership – a catch to Ella Lambert. She then dismissed Sam Petherick North Shore’s captain, opening bat and top-scorer – clean bowled. Emma picked up her third wicket, with a second catch to Lexy Bassett in the covers. However, with four Auckland Under 15 players, and a lot of experience, North Shore had the players to keep the run rate going and continued to score reasonably freely. A bright moment off the last ball when Kate Irwin clean bowled Anna Browning for 28. Emma Nisbet was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets for 20, with honourable mention to Renee Macmillan and Emma Irwin whose four overs each went at 2.5 and 3.5 runs per over respectively. Nellie Drumm-Owen kept tidily behind the stumps, taking the keepers gloves, and overall Parnell fielded well. North Shore’s final score was 121 for 5 off their 20 overs. Parnell’s innings started steadily, with Renee and Emma Irwin opening the innings. They looked in little trouble, and Renee scored several boundaries to get the innings going. Unfortunately a run out ended the partnership: 20 for 1 became 21 for 2, and suddenly runs were hard to come by. The run rate mounted until Lexy came in at number five, and scored a quick-fire 32 off 23 balls before falling to a catch on the long leg boundary.
