Zach's Pakenham CC and Jordan's Churchill CC embarked on two-daygames at the weekend that will conclude next Saturday, and both set themselvesa stiff challenge to stay in the game. Pakenham have the greatest mountain toclimb as they will resume at 28-1 in their second innings having been bowledout for just 80 in 34 tortuous overs with four batsmen, sadly including Zach,registering ducks. Cardinia Bulls, sitting 2nd in the table, then reached 126-2before declaring and asking Pakenham to bat again. They reached a steady 28-1at the close with Zach suffering an unlikely two dismissals on the same day. 

Churchill's dilemma was somewhat different as they spent allday in the field chasing leather as the Ex-Students team piled up 286. NeitherJordy or Ryan were put to the sword as both returned decent figures in thecircumstances with Ryan bowling eight wicketless overs for just thirteen runsand Jordy picking up the wicket of the Students’ centurion for 134 in stats of1-36 off 11 overs. Neither of the two lads went to the crease as their teammates then crumbled to 5-2 in reply. 

Sam continued his valuable experience in North West Suburbs2nd grade team, and his first outing in a two-day game. He contributed a decent13 runs to a stunning 295 all out against top of the table Tenambit MorpethCricket Club, which means that the 'Burbs, who sit in 2nd spot, have the titlein their sights in what should be a thriller next week. 

Over in Kiwiland, Caleb and Finlay continue to battle awayin the Christchurch Metro Cricket Association with Caleb's Heathcote in 5th andFinlay's Riccarton sadly still rock bottom and needing snookers to overcome a 27-pointgap with the side above them. It was a familiar tale for Fin as they went downto a 148-run defeat after their visitors piled up 302-7 with the Cliftonertaking 1-47. He then contributed 14 to his sides 154 all out. Heathcote's 188-9wasn't enough to deter opponents Sydenham who secured a four wicket win inside37 overs. Caleb opened the batting scoring 18 including two boundaries. Thereare just three weeks left of the regular season and Finlay and Caleb go head-to-headnext week. In an earlier T20 game, unsurprisingly going the way of Heathcote,Caleb scored 49 in 41 balls and Fin took 1-43 and scored three with the bat, whereasin the first league game, Caleb scored six and Fin took 1-32 as Riccarton wentdown by 56 runs.
