Richard Gibby hit a typically belligerent 40 runs (5 fours &amp; 2 sixes) from 38 deliveries up front before he was dismissed..59-1 in the 8th over. Fellow opener J-P Cronje was 12no at this point, going on to register his side&#8217;s top score after a patient innings of 44 (3 fours &amp; a six) from 60 balls faced. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elliot Oates (19, 2 fours), Greg Thomas (14, 1 four &amp; a six), Harri Turner (14no, 1 six) and Joe Phillips (9no, 1 four) all tried to force the pace, especially after a crucial rain break in the 18th over out of 40. At this point, MCC were 82-1 but only a further 8 overs of the innings were possible..final score 154-5 from 26 overs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In turn, the home side also got off to a good start, posting 69 before the first wicket fell. At 91-1 from 16 overs, &#8220;Llan&#8221; were in a strong position, requiring 64 from 10 overs. However, Jack&#8217;s bowlers and fielders were not going to give up here, knowing that taking wickets was the only realistic way to avoid defeat.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>From 91-1, our hosts slipped to 142-5! However, it proved a bridge too far as Llangennech took the spoils in the penultimate to run out winners by 4 wickets..final score 155-6. Tomos Williams (1-31), Greg (1-16), Kaps Radhakrishnan (1-18), Mo Shawkat (2-16) and Harri (1-35) claimed the six wickets to fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A fine effort by our boys all things considered, it has to be said. As one onlooker was heard to comment &#8220;Mumbles played with great team spirit and effort&#8221;..long may that continue, eh!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a number of Senior players unavailable for today&#8217;s Welsh Cup R2 tie, acting Captain Jack Straw took a 1st XI of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16034"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16034"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16041,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16034\/revisions\/16041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mumblescricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
