Welcome

HOT STUFF (Interesting Fact): The Casey Cardinia Cricket Association, the league that Zach plays in, cancelled their entireSaturday programme due to a fifty-degree heatwave.

A few miles further East, despite the best efforts of both Jordan and Ryan, Churchill went down to a disappointing defeat against Glengarry that may just have killed off their championship ambitions. Battingfirst and with Jordy once again opening the batting, he received no support until Ryan joined him at 46-3 with Jordy already well into the 30s. They took the score to 76 before Jordy went lbw for 43 including three 4s and a six. Ryan batted on before he too became an lbw victim for 36 and the score stuttered onto a poor 146 all out. It never looked enough as every Glengarry batsman bar one, reached double figures and despite Jordan producing a sterling bowling effort with figures of 10-4-21-3, Churchill went down to a six-wicket defeat with six overs to spare.

Sam's contribution to his side's Saturday win, was negligible as the 'burbs cemented third spot with a 22-run win over local rivals Western Suburbs. Batting first they racked up 187-5 in the allotted 40 overs with Sam only managing three with the bat. The visitors were then bowled out for 165 with Sam one of seven bowlers used in what I suspect were sweltering conditions. His 1-3 in four overs helped secure the win as all butone of the bowlers captured at least one scalp.

We're now in a position to add a fifth down under player to Ozwatch as newly signed overseas player Caleb Donaldson enters our zone. The admins in New Zealand are a bit more laid back about posting match results and at present neither Caleb nor Finlay's results have been posted. Watch this space.
