Looks like a dramatic day at Glenelg. West Torrens 5/38 chasing 206 with two players potentially not batting due to injuries in the field.
Partnership of 132 between Fisher and Short, then got there 6 down with an over to spare. Piece of cake.
That will sting for the Bays.
Was one of the most amazing wins have seen, besides a couple of miracle wins in our Triple Premiership year few seasons ago. With six or eight 1st Grade players unavailable, had very young side. Young 17 year old fast bowler James Reuther did his collarbone diving to save four and did not bowl an over, Sibley tried a caught and bowled that Sayers whacked back at him and broke his finger badly. Both went off to hospital.
At 5/38, basically 7/38, and with Slee a genuine No.11 who can’t bat at all, really we were 8/38. Sayers was on fire and Pudney bowling very quick, we were literally gone. Fisher loves the white ball, only player in the comp who has made two centuries in 20/20 comp, but this was his first A Grade ton, Murphy Short made his highest A Grade score also after playing in Crows trial game on Thursday to be a top up player next season, and the big 19 year old Pom, Sean Hunt stuck around with Fish.
Was basically season over if we lost, after dropping Cosi five times last week and playing dreadfully, so was great comeback. May come back to haunt the Bays as going to be tight for 4th spot with Kensington, Adel Uni and East Torrens just about certainties already.
