Petersfield 2s remained 2nd in the league after a comprehensive 10 wicket victory away to Sarisbury.
Sarisbury decided to bat first on a glorious day at the Rec in Stubbington with a slight cross breeze. Opening bowlers Oscar Windebank (2 wickets for 37 from 10 overs) and Nicky Caddick (4 wickets for 2 runs off 6 overs) ripped through the top order with more unplayable deliveries than this reporter has seen in all the other matches this season. Nicky Caddick was almost unplayable in his spell and was about 2 inches from getting a hat-trick and 5 fer in one ball.
Frank Straw (2 for 5 from 4 overs) took over from Nicky and with his first ball removed left hander G Saunders (9). In his 3rd over he trapped S Andrews (0) plumb in front of middle stump. After Oscar had bowled out, Steve Gibson (2 for 0 off 5 balls) cleaned up the final 2 wickets either side of drinks. Sarisbury made 51 in their 20.5 overs
After a quick turnaround, Toby Austin (13 not out) and Will Rice (34 not out) showed no mercy and chased the total down in 8.1 overs. The 2s then had a nice tea and shuffled off back to the Heath to support and heckle the 1s at the Heath.
Man of the match Oscar Windebank for giving the opposition some much needed runs ;-)
Moment of the match - Petersfield's bowlers top stuff from them all backed up with inspired bowling changes from the skipper.
