MCC v Allsorts
May 27th 2012
Allsorts won by 7 wickets
This is the first time the Maladroits had
played the Allsorts and so there was no prior knowledge of what were up
against- with that in mind Boozer encouraged to bat first by his team. What
followed was a procession of early Maladroit wickets with Ryan, Dharmesh ,
Leesy and others all going relatively cheaply.
When JC came and went in the middle order MCC were left reeling at 98
for 5. However, Boozer with 47*, Ryder with 15 and Matty with a quickfire 20
odd brought the total up to 210 off the 35 overs- whilst well below par it gave
us something to bowl at.
After a half time tea the Maladroit bowlers
took to the field and some fantastic bowling from Matty had the Allsorts
openers in real trouble. Despite looking out of sorts and too many 4 balls were
offered to prevent us tieing down the batsmen. JC offering an over of multiple
wides down both the off and the leg side summed up a patchy bowling
performance.
Allthough MCC battled hard the opening
batsmen (hailing from Uppingham- we hadn’t realized that school produced
batsmen) sailed on to his 100 with some ferocious hitting.. Maladroits, despite
a very committed effort in the field looked a little rusty and will look
forward to taking on the Allsorts and seeking revenge in 2013.
