An excellent team performance especially in the field. Lachlan took our first catch of the season with a spectacular caught and bowled. Hayden made an impressive run-out whipping off the wicket keeper's goves and throwing down the stumps from about 10 metres.
I was also pleased with Kieran's bowling, who has obviously been practicing with his Dad. Andre and Daniel were calling very well between the wickets. A great 4 for Daniel behind square leg.
Another solid game from Amanjit

Another good win to the boys against a determined Cranebrook side. We batted first and found it hard to score runs with Cranebrook bowling well. Eventually we fought our way back to be 37 runs with 5 wickets down.
Our bowling was superb with every bowler doing well. Half as many no-balls this week helped keep Cranebrook to 5 for 27. A special mention for Marcos who was on a hat trick, better luck next time

We played Penrith R.S.L. at Napean with only 6 players, R.S.L. won the toss and put us into bat. Blake and Keegan put on 23 to get us off to a good start. Jayden and Thomas then put on 12 with Marcus and Jake then 13. We then had Blake and Jayden bat again putting on 20 to give us a total of 1 for 68 .If the grass had been shorter there would have been many more runs.
R.S.L. went out to bat also with just 7 players and were in trouble with Keegan taking 2 for 1 off 3 overs. Marcos did a Ponting with a great runout with just 1 stump to aim at from side on.Not to be outdone Blake did a direct hit at the bowlers end to have R.S.L. 5 for 48 at the end of the innings.
Blake ended with 0 for 1 off 2 overs and Marcus 0 for 4 off 3 overs .
A great win boys with plenty of inspiration from the Aussies great showing against Pakistan.

We had not played Glenbrook Blaxland (Gilchrist) before this and they proved to be an excellent side both batting and bowling. We only had 6 players and managed 36 runs with 6 outs
Keegan and Marcos with 7, then Kurt and Luke 9, Thomas and Jayden7. Kurt and Luke batting again scoring 13.
Our bowlers were not too bad with only 22 sundries but with only 6 fielders 3 of their batsmen were able to get double figures. Luke did manage a good runout and Keegan getting a wicket with the 2nd last ball . Still a good day's cricket and next week we'll be back having fun.

St Clair 30 lost to Glenbrook 54
Glenbrook were a good side. They went into bat and our bowling was good and a few quick wickets with 2 runouts to Kurt. They then started to put on steady runs and were 2 for 44 off 12. Then Kurt came into bowl and took 2 wickets. Then a runout to Luke and Marcos we had them 6 for 54 , again a few too many no balls (20)
It was a very hot day with Keegan unable to bat due to heat exhaustion.
We went into bat band their first bowler was on fire taking 2 quick wickets in the first over.
The boys put on runs but their bowling was the best I have seen. Kurt and Luke 4 runs, Thomas and Jayden 2 runs, Joshua and Jake 5 runs and the last pair Marcos and Kurt 15 runs.
We ended up 6 for 30 Well done boys
