Guest Scott Taylor picked up the ball from the construction site end coming off his shorter run up and John Pickhaver took the ball at the end of Wis’ stanza and into the breeze found out that the Barker lads seemed only to have trained for pace, picking up 5 wickets and slowing the runs down. Some fantastic fielding from Taylor with a sharp catch and Ben Van der Merwe with a long distance direct hit run out added support to the bowling attack which soon saw the introduction of Lachy Bayliss with some sharp and tight bowling and in the end the home side were all out for 176 in the [33rd over].
IZingari Australia started strong with Jessie Stewart and Ben Van der Merwe at the crease with some sharp bowling from Barker. Ben displayed some smooth shot making to reach 20 in good time and guest Stuart Waugh compiled a neat 22 along side. Mitch Cassie made a tidy 22 but the star of the innings was Lachy Bayliss With others not lasting more than a few overs and the score at 7 for 116 in the 22nd over, Mal McDonald arrived at the crease to join Lachy Bayliss. In a classic entertaining run chase combination Lachy Bayliss steered the side home eventually making 74 not out and stood in a partnership with McDonald, who brilliantly farmed the strike in a text book supporting role scoring 7 of the winning partnership of 63.
A roller coaster of a game but an entertaining win to IZingari Australia.
