The South Wales Premier League’s own Big Bash kicked off at Marespool this afternoon as the Club hosted Swansea in Round 1 of this year’s T20 Cup..and it was our neighbours from down the road who deservedly came out on top!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winning the toss, Swansea skipper Brad Wadlan had no hesitation in batting first, and it was he who lead the way from start to finish before the break. His Man-of-the Match knock of 91no (11 fours & 2 sixes) scored off just 54 balls faced, enabled his team to rattle up 159-6 from their 20 overs. The next highest score was 16 (2 sixes) from Laurence Crowney at the end, itself a crucial contribution as the final margin of victory demonstrated. MCC captain on the day Max Phillips tried 7 bowlers but no one came close to matching his own excellent return of 2-8 from his four overs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the break, Max’s Men started well enough. Requiring 8 an over to progress in the competition, openers Charles Clist & Chris Matthews put on 39 in 4 overs together before Chris was out for 15 (1 four & 1 six). Unfortunately that early momentum could not be maintained as wickets then began to fall regularly. Charles (22, 2 fours & a maximum) was second to go with the scoreboard showing a total of 47-2 at the start of the 6th over and so it went on..84-5 at the start of the 15th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben Jones (29no, 1 four & 1 six) worked hard in the middle order whilst Richard Gibby, coming in at 7, threatened a miraculous steal from under the Swansea noses. He contributed 27 explosive runs from just 18 balls faced (2 fours, 2 sixes) out of a partnership of 35 in 4 overs but it was alas too late. After Richard was out, the Club still required 41 from a minimum of 11 deliveries, too much to ask of the new batsmen at this late stage. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the event, the 1st XI finished on 138-6, 21 runs light. A thoroughly entertaining game, however, played in some fine cricketing weather at last!<\/strong><\/p>\n
