Congrats to ex-Lincoln player Kyle Jamieson for his call up to the Blackcaps. For those that remember Kyle brought the U19 Cricket World Cup to Weedons on its nationwide tour, he was just recovering from his ankle injury and we had him bowl with the radar gun in jandals off a short run up in front of 100+ kids and he still clipped it in at 124km/h, he stood out at 6'7" and will be a awesome addition to the Blackcaps camp.

Weedons Premier A cricket Results:
Saturday, 14 Dec 2019
Opposition: Southbrook
Match Type: 45 over one dayer
Location: Mandeville
Conditions: Fine, Cold Strong Easterly Winds.
Toss: Won ā Chose to Bat first.
Result: Loss for Weedons. Southbrook winning in the 23rd over.
When your No 9 batsman is the highest scorer with 30 runs it generally suggests things havenāt gone to plan. This was an unusual game in the way in which it unfolded.
Batting was very slow early on with a combination of tight bowling and a slow outfield. The run rate after 10 overs was just 2; which was also the number of wickets lost.
At 26 overs we had lost 6 wickets and had only 65 on the board. (RR 2.65.) Sam Wilson was looking composed and played some encouraging form resurrecting and confidence building shots before he was run out in unusual fashion just as he was getting his eye in.
James Watson continued his solid form batting at 5 for the team in making 27. But when what looked like being a face saving partnership developing for the team with the last recognised batsman Devon Nightingale, Jamesās dismissal, caught 3/4s of the way to the long off boundary, was a disappointing end in its manner compared to the way his innings had been constructed.
Couple that now with a black duck to Hamish DāArcy, cruelly run out with the very next ball with his bat grounded and level with the wickets, it then meant that Devon who came in at 9, had to change his game plan and had to hit out now that no spare batsman remained. The innings was quickly over for Weedons in the 40th over for 132. Five crucial overs not batted.
Not that the 20-30 runs extra would have made a difference as it turned out as Southbrooks Matt Boyle took the slow outfield out of play with some big hitting in his 93 runs off 65 balls. He was helped with bowling that was often either too short or too full. At least 10 full toss balls outside leg were bowled which you canāt do to any batsman yet alone a player of quality like Matt. He took full advantage and provided no chances for the Weedons team.
The winning runs came mercifully in the 23rd over; or just over half of overs available. The Weedons players now have the Christmas New Year mid-season break to lick their wounds from this result, search within for that which existed in their early season good results and come back stronger and more consistent than this first half of the year.

Any chance the opposition could get mid-on some longer pants ?
