Today we played a very competitive St Anthony's team, however, we thrashed them. Luckily we had won the toss, and for the first time, we decided to have a bat. We had a solid start with Ethan Bamber and Ben Scott opening. Unfortunately, Ben was run out due to their brilliant fielding. However, we had the amazing Lukas Vanhaesebroeck in next who scored a professional 78 not out. This was backed up with a solid 40 from Campbell Castagna. This set up a good base for the lower order to have a bat.
In the end we reached a score of 190. After, we came out confidently to have a bowl. Lukas got the first wicket in his first over from a catch from Ben Balcombe. The next few overs came from Kush and Matti Thal. They got 3 wickets between them. Jamie Davies took an excellent catch off of Kush. Their batting attack wasn't as strong as we expected but their lower order batsmen gave a good fight. This was backed up by Jamie Davies and Charlie Plummer. Unfortunately, their effort wasn't enough and were all out for 115. But we gave their number 12 batsmen a go to have a bat.This was an excellent performance from Mill Hill, giving the boys their second win of the tour. They bowled and batted exceptionally well and deserved their victory.
