Blake stars as rain does it's best to cancel cricket!

Losing the toss, BCC were grateful to be asked to bowl by Sonning on a traditional Bagshot Park wicket. There was a threat of rain at some point in the day, but the 2nd XI felt capable of repeating the winning pattern from recent results by chasing a score.

Sonning's innings started brightly with a few lusty blows from their opening pair. DJ Budd and Mark Sutherland soon took control and took the top five wickets for 40-odd, bringing a solid partnership to the wicket. This was interrupted by a very heavy shower, which despite the wicket being covered swiftly, soon leaked down the slope and onto the playing surface.

The game was interrupted for over an hour and only a sterling effort from the Bagshot players (including using kitchen equipment to sweep standing water off the square!) got us back into a position to play again.

With the game reduced to 70 overs, Sonning reconvened their innings with a further 10 overs to bat and with some good control from BCC bowlers, we restricted Sonning to 154ao from 37.1 overs.

The BCC reply started in usual fashion, with Young and Sutton getting off to a good start before Sutton was caught at gully trying to put pressure on Sonning's bowlers. Taz Ishak supported Young for a short while before departing for 12, which brought debutant Ryan Blake to the crease. Blake effortlessly hit 66 in quick time, with several powerful boundaries that a number of his more experienced team mates would've been proud of, including a huge 6 into the Cricketers. Young departed for 37 during Blake's glorious innings, requiring Stu Derry and Mark Dawson to complete the run chase in 31 overs.

25 points in the bag and unearthing a future star...a good Saturday!
