Score Card Day 4
Day 4: Finals
With the pool out of the way and Waikato losing none of there games they
were immediately into the finals.
As Central Districts had lost both there games they were deemed to be split
apart and help make up the teams for the two finalists.
Waikato VS Counties Manukau
Finals time and with Waikato losing the toss Counties, once again, took the
field for the 1st innings. Counties knew the sad loss they carried
with them after the 1st day of play and an abysmal loss to Waikato. 9
runs and 2 wickets down the Counties team appeared to be on fire but after
sitting around and not having the next wicket fall until after 69 runs things
slowed down. With a final score of 162 (70 of them being extra's!!!) Counties
had no hope but to go out there and give it all they had!
With opening batsman James Dunn retiring on 50 the team started to enjoy the
game, and have the hope they might actually do it! Then it seemed to turn to
custard, with a minor collapse in the batting order things started to come
apart. Then there was hope once more, the score slowly started to build until
there was 15 runs off 12 balls, it was run for run with a few extra's thrown in
here and there (anything to help out the opposition!) and then, as the Counties
Captain sat quietly in a corner and a risky second run, which would have drawn
the game, was taken, the stumps fell, the team was all out for 161 runs!!!! 1
off a draw for a new team, they were happy with being there but this was an
added bonus!
Scores: 162 to Waikato 161 to Counties Manukau
Highest Scorer of the day: James Dunn Retired 50 then returned for 16 not out
