Back to winning ways in a good match on a very windy day that could have gone either way. An unpredictable pitch not helping batting for either team.
We started by losing the toss and being put in to bat.
Things didn't start well with Glenn Harris out fourth ball. But J.Quintais (17 from 41 balls) was looking good until he got a ball that kept low. A.Bastable (30 from 94 balls) played steadily and kept the innings together. N.Harris (12) out from a good quick stumping and was a bit unlucky. A.Squires (30 from 43 balls) settled in and helped get us back into the game. The other wickets fell at regular intervals and we ended up 130 all out with the lower order doing the job to get us to 4 batting points. J.Walker taking (4 for 20).
We knew we had to be aggressive in the field and put good pressure on Rustington early who had 50 overs to bat needing 131 to win.
Greg Harris was back on form taking a great (7 for 23) including catches from N.Harris and A.Squires from balls skied from top edges. J.Belton (1-34) bowled well keeping the pressure on to support Greg. J.Westlake (0-7) came on near the end and bowled well and created another run out opportunity which Greg took well to get the last wicket. C.Mann batted well (34 from 64 balls) put up the only real Rustington resistance. Everyone did their part and fielded well to create the pressure required and we ended up bowling Rustington out for 65 to secure a great victory and another 24 points towards our title campaign.
