Sports results
Norwich School vs MCC
Wednesday, 30 June 2010
Losing the toss, being asked to field first and then finding ourselves leaking runs at almost 8 an over was not the best of starts. However, after Sam Plater got the first wicket, gradually, through determined, consistent bowling and some good ground fielding, the run rate decreased to 5 an over by lunch. After the break, due to more accurate bowling, the MCC struggled to accelerate as they would have liked and declared their innings at 244/3.
Best bowling performances: Lasith Ranasinghe - 8 overs 2 maidens 1 for 23, and Harry Bamber - 7 overs 1 for 25.
Knowing there was still plenty of time left in the day, James Hooper (18 runs) and Will Bryan (23 runs) negotiated the time until tea for the loss of only one wicket. Matthew Plater (26 runs) carried on the good work before the MCC struck back, reducing the School to 104/4. Will Jones (56 runs) and Will Kennard (26 runs) set to work on rebuilding the innings and steadily accelerated in a fine stand of 86 before both being dismissed in quick succession. It was left to Tom Randon (30*) and Harry Bamber (18*) to finish the job, playing some delightful strokes along the way.
Norwich School won by 4 wickets with 8 balls remaining in the day.
