CONVINCING WIN FOR OLD WILSONIANS: HSBC well beaten
Old Wilsonians 2nd Xl 290 for 9, HSBC 2nd Xl 73 - Old Wilsonians win by 217 runs!
A first wicket stand of 102 between Cameron Jones (148) and Siva Ranjan (39) and one of 120 between Jones and Josh Lawrence (55) for the fourth, with HSBC then taking a further five wickets for just 40 as the OWs went in search of quick runs, enabled the latter to finish on an imposing 290 for 9, with Bravin Vijayaakanthan, 3 for 39 and Shaker Ahmed, 2 for 40 being the most successful of the visiting bowlers. HSBC were then bowled out for 73 but batted so stubbornly that it took them 40.1 overs to get there, with the OW bowling figures having an impressive look to them, Dan Simpson and Guy Hannah being the most penetrative, finishing with 3 for 7 and 2 for 13 respectively.View scorecard
STRAIGHTFORWARD VICTORY FOR ROEBUCKS: Old Wilsonians fail to post an adequate total
Old Wilsonians 3rd Xl 111, Roebucks 2nd Xl 112 for 5 - Roebucks win by 5 wickets
The Old Wilsonians innings started promisingly enough as openers Dan Nichols (15) and Chetan Kamat (14) set out to lay a solid foundation, but their respective dismissals hastened a fall of wickets and they had to rely on the experience of Howard Abbett (16) and Kevin Carruthers (18) to get them into three figures as Roebucks bowlers took control, Alastair Ramsey finishing with 3 for 5 in 5 overs, ably supported by Faisal Nazir, 3 for 35 and Waqas Ali 2 for 14. The Roebucks reply had a solid look to it, Waqas Ali (24), Ajit Singh (15) Dean Naldoo (14) Wasim Hogue (12) all making useful contributions before James May (34 n.o) took them impressively over the finishing line, Sam Caschetto, 2 for 27 and Doug Forbes, 2 for 29 being the most impressive of the OW bowlers.View scorecard
COMFORTABLE VICTORY FOR BECKENHAM Old Wilsonians well beaten
Old Wilsonians 4th Xl 77 for 7, Beckenham 6th Xl 79 for 1 - Beckenham win by 9 wickets!
Beckenham restricted Old Wilsonians to 77 for 7 from their 30 overs - note the symmetry - with only Karim Mir (30) and Premnath Senthitkumaran (17 n,o) causing them any noticeable problems, with the Beckenham bowlers sharing the wickets amongst them. Beckenham then took just 71 balls to secure the runs they required with only Lasith Dissanayake (45 n.o), Vanden Patel (16) and Pradhav Bhamidipati (10 n.o) having the opportunity to bat as they cruised to an impressive 9 wicket victory.View scorecard
