Match 9 (10th scheduled), 2011: 3 June

Railway Tavern CC vs Pimlico Strollers CC

Strollers' bowlers rally to claim rare win over the Railway Tavern
posted: June 4, 2011

The Strollers picked up our first T20 victory of the season last night at North Middlesex CC with a rare win over the Railway Tavern. With Gav and George getting the innings off to a solid start, scoring at 9 per over and mounting a 50 opening partnership, the run rate was stemmed after both were dismissed in quick succesison. In the face of some more accurate Taverners bowling, Spencer and Matt struggled to search for scoring opportunities but managed to pick the rate up again as the innings drew to a close, posting a seeminly modest 136-2 off our twenty overs (with Matt top scoring on 41 not out).

But a concerted effort in the field and some excellent bowling frustrated the Taverners' batsmen and wickets tumbled with regularity. All five bowlers shared the spoils - Harry Brown got things off to a fine start with the first over dismissal of Alveranga followed by the stunning run out of Rose and Rob Davies took the key wicket of Taverners skipper Andy James. But pick of the attack was Paul Bowstead whose stunning figures of 3-7 tell the story themselves! The Taverners were skittled for just 77, the huge 59 run margin of victory thoroughly deserved thanks to a great all round Strollers effort!
