Cricket Pairs: Senior 3rd XI v The Oratory [A]

The 3rd team took to the pitch at The Oratory for a game of pairs cricket. A few boys making their cricketing debuts for Bruern and from watching on you would have never guessed. We put the opposition into bat and started off well. Our bowling was consistent and fielding was sharp. Our newly appointed wicket keeper Rudy S made some impressive catches behind the stumps, however his main focus was making sure that as wicket keeper he had to be the loudest on the pitch and I feel he fitted into the position well. The Oratory put a score of 243 for us to chase down. After a brief water break and words of wisdom we went in to bat. A few big swings of the bat and the boundaries started to flow. Our final pair went out and needed 25 runs off the two final overs to win the game. A few quick singles and boundaries however left us short of the chase and we finished on 235 a respectable score but unfortunately just slightly behind.
