Detailed
report
Due to the poor weather this season this was the Under
13s first match this year. Playing in glorious cricketing weather, against
United Services Portsmouth on their lively astro-turf at the Clarence, it was a
great way to start the season.
Petersfield won the toss and the captain, Daniel May, put
the home side into bat. Petersfield’s opening bowlers of Oliver Simpson and Ben
Turk were accurate and lively and it was no surprise when Ben Turk took the
opening wicket with a lovely ball that trapped their opening batsman LBW,
Oliver Simpson then clean bowled the other opening batsman beating him for
sheer pace. By the end of the first 4 overs US Portsmouth had reached 3 runs
for the loss of 2 wickets. Petersfield’s 1st change bowlers of Matt
Friend and Harry Richards kept the pressure up with Ben Turk taking a very
sharp catch off the bowling of Matt Friend to put the home side under even more
pressure. Matt Friends pace and bounce got him another wicket well taken by the
wicket keeper Alfie Casson. US Portsmouth then briefly rallied with No. 3
batsman, Conor, hitting 2 fours in one over off some perfectly respectable
balls. He was starting to look very dangerous when he misread the spin from
Will Morton-Scott and skied the ball into the covers where Harry Richards
pouched an excellent catch. The home side did not help themselves when the next
batsman was run out after some very sharp work by Daniel Parry. Ben Anscombe
clean bowled their next batsman with a peach of a ball. At 30-7 in the 14th
over things looked desperate for the home team but some sensible batting by
their late order pushed the US
Portsmouth score up to 48 for 7 off their 20 overs. The Petersfield bowling and
fielding display was absolutely exemplary and it was hard to believe that this
was their first game of the season.
Chasing a relatively low score it was important that
Petersfield were not complacent and stayed positive. The opening pair of Daniel
Parry and Ed Milford imposed themselves on the home team’s bowling attack and
scored 9 fours between them. The opening stand had reached 46 when Daniel Parry
was clean bowled for an attacking 29 runs. This brought Joe Egelstaff out to
the crease. One run later Ed Milford was well caught by one of the home players
for an excellent 17 runs. Ben Anscombe then hit the next ball for 4 meaning
that Petersfield won by 8 wickets with nearly 12 overs to spare.
It was a comprehensive win for Petersfield but the game
was played with a great spirit. US Portsmouth kept the pressure up in their
fielding and were trying right to the end and they can take great credit for
that. Petersfield’s next game is away to Purbrook and they will hope to take
the many positives from this game through to their next game.
