MATCH REPORT
Davo wanted me to do a match report on the backyard cricket match we this arvo so here it is:
McLachlan Richards Le Challange
Marvelous day welcomed us at "LeCG", a modest small pitch with many hazzards and not many rewards for the taking the arieal route (devs clearly this pitch has been doctored against me
)
N Mclachlan in his greedy, hogging way demanded that he be the first to take the bat and opened against the many styles of D Le's Bowling
. Mclachlan finished with a decent total of around by 25.
D Le dismissed Mclachlan (hahahahahahahahahahahaha typical) and was the second to take up his innings. Le was was able to reach a decent of 20 odd only. Le was dismissed by a decent ball from N Mclachlan and M Richards was the final combatant to weild the willow and try to create his on kind of Mayham.
Richards was only able to reach a modest 7 run total, really dismissing himself by playing a beautiful cover drive that unfortunatly found one of the two windows on the Le household.
Mclachlan began the second innings only managing to add a further 10 runs to his total to reach 35 before being dismissed after playing a woeful ball from D Le that was dispatched over the fence for six and out.
Apart from D Le's first bowling spell, his perfomance was lack lustre
and he again to the bat to try and add to his first innings score. Davo like nick failed to make a big score and managed to finish in the 30's with nick. Le was also hit in the most uncomfortable of spots with the ball twice by M Richards (lol i was seem to hit david there wen i bowl to him )
That Brought Richards to the crease again. unfortunatly he only managed to increase his previous score by 8 to reac 15 before being bowled play at a outside offstump ball which nipped back off the pitch to take the outside off leg.
N Mclachlan returned for a third assult and this time he connected. he played a masterful innings of drives and paddle sweeps and reverse sweeps and managed to add 52 runs to his total reaching 87 before being dismissed by a M Richards/D Le stumping (M Richards bowling gave D Le plenty of chances to dismiss Mclachlan but unfortunatly plenty were missed).
This brought D Le to the crease who lasted a whole two deliveries b4 M Richards put him back in the pavillion. first ball a full toss that struck D Le in the head b4 a beautiful leg spinner that bowled Le around his legs.
This bought M Richards to the crease. M Richards played a masterful and destructive innings which was possibly the best single innings of the day. Richards to his score of 15 and added a massive 87 runs to a fantastic score of 102 before he was dismissed, Bowled by N Mclachlan again after trying to cut loose for no apparent reson.
This brought McLachlan to the crease and with the pressure on Mclachlan again fired. Mclahlan took his score from 87 to 124 with masterful shot selection. after Mclachlan was dissmised Richards again dismissed le for not many bafore again taking aim at the score Mclachlan posted.
Richards unfortunatly was unable to reach the 124 managing to reach 121 before once again being dismissed by N Mclachlan.
Mclachlan hit the creace for the final time taking his total to 153 and with 10 mins to go he was dismissed which left not long for Richards to bowl Le out and make an attempt to reach the target set by Mclachlan.
Le was dissmissed with 7 minutes to go but a Mclachlan pearler of a delivery was enough to seal the win.
Mclachlan - 153, 5 wickets
Richards - 127, 5 wickets
Le - 41, 2 wickets
