Captain’s Ton not enough

Reed III travelled to Holtwhites Trinibis 3rds on a small ground and a flat track. Reed skipper Rhodri Hughes won the toss and decided to bowl first looking to chase. The skipper might have looked to regret that decision when Holtwhites got off to a fast start, taking a liking to Owen Hughes (9-0-63-1). However, Joe Graves (9-1-35-2) picked up both openers. Holtwhites then started to build another partnership with Prince and Turner batting nicely punishing the bad ball. Greg Mckinnel (9-0-65-1) then picked up Turner. Holtwhites kept building partnerships, however, Will Archer (8.2-1-37-3) bowled nicely picking up 3 well deserved wickets. Skipper Rhodri Hughes (6-0-38-2) chipped in with a couple of wickets. Reed managed to bowl out Holtwhites for 274 in 41.2 overs, with R.Watson making the tail wag a bit for a well-played 47. The score looked gettable on a small ground and a fast outfield. Reed did not start off well losing Paul Garrott, Kieren Willoughby and Marcus Baker early leaving Reed 26 for 3 after 7 overs. However, skipper Rhodri Hughes came in with Rob Willoughby and started to build a partnership, running hard between the wickets and punishing the bad ball taking the score to 128-3 at drinks, putting Reed in a position to look like they could chase down the score. Rob and Rhodri continued in similar fashion, until Rob was stumped for an excellent 68, with the pair putting on 147 for the 4th wicket. Owen Hughes joined his brother and looked to build another partnership, they kept running between the wickets well and punishing the bad ball. Rhodri brought up his first 100 with a 2 through the covers. Rhodri Hughes then ran himself out for an [...]

Archers on target against Pinner

Reed III faced Pinner at the Freman Oval. Pinner won the toss and elected to bowl first on which looked a tricky wicket for batsmen due to the rain the day before. Richard Barlow and Paul Garrott opened the batting for Reed and tried to blunt the new ball attack of Pinner on a difficult wicket to start. However, the excellent bowling of Carter (9-3-28-2) got Richard Barlow out early and Paul Garrott soon followed for 14. Leaving Reed 19 for 2, Rob Willoughby and Marcus Baker started building a partnership taking the score to 55 until Marcus was out caught at point for 22. This brought Mike Robertson to the crease that started to build a partnership with Rob Willoughby with both punishing the bad ball of the spinners. They put on 51 before Rob Willoughby was bowled for a well played 40. This brought Skipper Rhodri Hughes to the crease that decided to up the tempo with Mike Robertson, running well and some big hits from Robertson. They put on 46 in 5 overs until Rhodri was bowled for 13, taking the score to 152-5 off 35. Mike Robertson then followed in the next over for an excellent 60. Reed then collapsed losing wickets cheaply leaving then 171-9 with 6 overs to bat. However, Joe Graves and Jason Archer built a solid unbroken partnership of 34 for the last wicket, punishing the bad bowl, taking Reed to 205-9 off 45. That looked a very competitive score at the halfway point. Reed’s bowling started off well with Owen Hughes (6-0-18-2) bowling Fells in the first over. However, Carter and Dixtt started to rebuild with Carter taking a liking to Joe Graves (9-0-37-0). Owen then [...]

Reed 3rds fall short in the chase

Reed 3rds travelled to Northwood III with a relatively young side with two under 15s playing their first ever adult game. Northwood won the toss and elected to bat on a green wicket. Reed’s bowling started tightly through Owen Hughes (9-0-32-1) and Scott Nash (9-2-18-1) that restricted the opening batsmen of Mackey and Brooker. When the score was on 34 Scott Nash bowled Mackey for 12. This brought Amin to the crease that started to build a partnership with Brooker, however Reed were able to keep the scoring rate low through good bowling and fielding. Will Archer (9-0-32-0) bowled well with no reward. The Reed skipper then turned to Jason Archer to try and break the deadlock. Jason Archer (5-2-9-4) rolled back the years by getting Amin LBW for 41 to break the partnership. Jason Archer then picked up another 3 wickets very quickly through good line and length bowling to leave Northwood 125 for 5. However, Jason had to come off due to the heat. Reed Skipper, Rhodri Hughes (4-0-7-2) brought himself on to bowl with his slow bowling that suited the pitch. He removed Brooker the opener for 48 from a brilliant catch on the boundary from Sam Donner. Charlie Walters (9-0-41-0) bowled tightly at the end of the innings with Rhodri to restrict Northwood to 159 for 9. Reed’s reply started off well with Charlie Walters punishing the bad ball to the boundary, however he fell for 11. Reed also lost Scott Nash quickly to leave them 26 for 2. This brought Marcus Baker to the crease that looked to rebuild with Paul Garrott, it was tough to score through good bowling and fielding from Northwood. Reed going well at 59-2 then [...]
