With showers forecast and the pitch itself difficult to access skipper Poole won the toss and asked the home side to bat.
It soon became apparent that the right decision had been made andwith the surface having very uneven bounce coupled with the bowl swinging in the breezy conditions, batting was very difficult.
Having said that, all the Haverhill bowlers kept very disciplined line and length andwickets fell at regular intervals which saw Felixstowe bowled out in 30 overs for just 44.Wicket Takers were Nurul Hoque(11-6-13-2), Dan Webb(7-2-11-3), Paul Turner(4-1-6-4) and young Joey Kettle took the final scalp. Rus Davis again bowled with good pace but without any luck at all.
With a small total to chase, the Haverhill batsman were watchful at first but with the unpredictability of the pitch an aggresive approach was needed and although 3 wickets were lost in the pursuit of the target, Haverhill got home in just 11 overs. The main contributors were Phil Jones(22) and Luke Youngs(13no).
Skipper Poole said' When you are playing the bottom side and are expected to win it would be the normif you win the toss to bat first and get runs on the board but the real winner today was the pitch as it made a good game of cricket almost impossible.However, another full haul of points puts us in good mood for this Saturdays important home match against Kesgrave,who are just below us in the table'. |
