Heronettes Balk Benfleet Ladies

Wanstead beat Benfleet by 96 runs     9 November

Batting first, the Heronettes set the pace with great performances from all the team.  There was a very quick 28* by Polly Sprenger followed by another quick 27* by Hannah Newman, 26* from your correspondent (stop being so modest, Saba - Ed.) and a superb 27* (including a 6 and a 4) by Sadie Lucas.  This was followed by a rapid 13* by our very own granny jee, aka Anjali Bamrah, before the biggest granny of them all, Alicia Titre, decided to break the flow of not-outs by getting herself run out off the last ball!

Good batting left us with our highest score in indoor cricket of 141 for one.

Granny Alicia continued to blot her copybook in the field, by choosing to bowl a wide when she was on a hat-trick.  Tight bowling from the entire side meant that Benfleet Ladies were held to 45 for four in their 10 overs, leading to a win by 96 runs and to top place in the league table.
