Scorecard

Sussex Martlets (Southern Tour) v Cryptics Cricket Club on Tue 03 Aug 2021 at 11:30
Cryptics Cricket Club Won by 142 runs

Match report With the score at 31-2 the seemingly strong Cryptics team assembled for this fixture looked to be in trouble. However a stand of 171 at 6 an over by Hamish Nolan (105) and James Wilson (64) redressed the balance. They both played some beautifully timed stylish shots and were brutal on some weak Martlet bowling. A typically rapid and powerful 34 by Mike Nolan enabled Jasper Joyce to declare on 256-6 after 44 overs with a likely 50 overs to be bowled in response. However rain caused the loss of some 40 minutes and bowling was not going to be easy with a wet ball. Rufus Nolan and James Wilson bowled well from the start and in his second over Rufus got two in two balls before any runs had been scored off the bat. At the other end james Wilson regularly beat the bat but it wasn't until his 7th over that he got a wicket, thanks to a fine one-handed catch in the gully by Paul Bedford. Rufus gave way to Tom Whyte and James to Conor Nolan. Tom was soon among the wickets and Conor superbly yorked Ben Davis, the Martlets captain, who was intent on taking the fight to the Cryptics. This probably ended the Martlets' ability to try to chase the total. Tom Whyte picked up wickets regularly on the way to his 5-36. However it looked as if the Martlets last pair would see them to a draw until the first ball of the last over when a wild slash at a ball from Conor Nolan led to a nonchalant superb one-handed grab at 3rd slip by his brother Hamish to seal the win.

Tom Whyte received the Man of the Match award, a bottle of the superb Black Dog Hill sparkling wine generously donated by Jim Nolan. We all enjoyed an informal post-match tasting too thanks to Jim.
