WPHC (Cam #25) 4/311 dec Vs Kenthurst 4/34
Welcome back to our loyal readers. After a weeks hiatus we have resumed normal programming back on the match report front. I had prepared something last week but was overridden by Wu (who is educated despite the rumours).
As such, I apologise to Simon and Jackson’s dad and hope this week is a more enjoyable read.
We rocked up and were greeted by the Pacific Highway in the middle of Parklands. With the sun beating down and a cool day predicted next Saturday one would think that it would be a great day to bat.
The streak continued with K losing another toss.
However much to our surprise Kenthurst decided to bowl. Did they know something we didn’t?Their reasoning was that their opening bowler was only a week one. Now I LOVE my bowlers (so BIG and STRONG) but I don’t love them enough to elect to stand in the field on a 30 degree day for 65 overs.
Anyway, their opener ended up with figures of 0/63 off 16 and we ended the day 4/311 declared. So very similar Nasser Hussain’s decision to bowl first at the Gabba in 2002, I would say a very justified and inspired decision to bowl first.
Now onto the batting and it was runs, run, RUNS, RUNS and more RUNS.
K and Jamaican who was playing his first A grade game with his son combined for 33 and 38 runs respectively. Huge shout out to Cam who has now ticked over 100 runs for the season before Belly and any of our middle order have even had a chance to bat yet. Next in was Billy and Hawwy. H crafted his way to a nice 74 before his body of a 50 year old gave way.
Billy batted magnificently to score about 100. I don’t know exactly how many but my god it was a beautiful innings. Shaan and Ju (U not EW) finished the innings off with a flourish before Cam declared with 311 on the board.
Would we have enough?
Side note: Congratulations to Kenthurst for doing what no team could do this year and getting us 4 down, making our 6th batsman go out to the middle. We were now all out for 569 for the season.
Onto the bowling and in a battle of the better offspring Oli and Jack made it look like we were bowling on a completely different pitch.
Oli took 1 and a special shoutout to Jack who took 2 on his birthday. One can only assume he bowled so fast today in his distain of the BLACK boundary lines. So fast that he broke Billy’s finger.
In good news for his girlfriend, I believe the break was on his left so they can still romantically hold hands on their trip away to the US.
Belly takes the gloves next week so wish us all well. Benny took our 4th of the day to leave Kenthurst 4-34.
Looking forward to next week.
With round three still in progress we look back on the votes for the Richard’s Memorial Medal from week 2 below:
3 – Tiz/Ass/Shaan (UNSURE)
2 – Billy

A2 Blue (Warren) 179 Vs Sydney Lions 0/20
Good morning loyal A2 Blue match report readers.
Following an embarrassing collapse batting first last week, returning team Captain and resident supreme leader Warren “Jong Un” Schwartzel arrived to the ground keen to sentence the team to 70 overs of hard labour in the field under the hot Kenthurst sun to pay for our crimes.
Warren, perhaps unsurprisingly, lost the toss and we were put in to bat instead.
The innings got off to a strong with Kyle “Katie” Townsend and Zac “Zazu” Turner watchfully seeing off some tight opening bowling, Zazu in particular looking set to bat long – no more thoughts this week about how over 1 million years ago homo erectus utilised the natural phenomenon of fire.
With Katie departing for 26 after cutting one to backward point and Zazu departing for 17 after being given lbw despite edging harder than he has since he spent last Valentine’s Day alone, we were wobbling at 2-49.
Enter Lakshan “Rolex” Perera and Brent “Disco’s son” Larkham. Lakshan and Brent came together and had a great partnership taking us to 2-123, with Brent going past 50. Not bad for a guy who has feet for hands.
Upon Brent being dismissed for 56, Rohan “did you guys know I got 65 last week” Arora was sent in to up the tempo of the game. He did this successfully by being caught 3 balls later.
Sydney Lions then employed a bowling strategy that would have made Robert “Ricky Bobby” Knapman blush, employing loopy spinners from both ends, with our middle order struggling to combat the spin. Nick “Buckets” Duck was the only one to offer any meaningful resistance from this point, making 31 (before vehemently insisting at the sporto that he made 40 odd).
We were dismissed for 179, with Sydney Lions making their way to 0-20 at stumps. Not even a surprise appearance from holy man and former star allrounder Daniel “Pastor” Schwartzel proving to be enough of a lucky charm to take a wicket.
The game is in the balance and the boys will be keen to rip in and take some wickets next week.
A2 Red (Todd) 171 Vs Glenorie 0/36
It’s a little-known zoological fact that a giraffe has 14 ligaments in its ankle — and unfortunately, our very own giraffe, Lachy, has decided to test the structural limits of all of them.
How did this tragedy occur, you ask? Let’s take a quick look back through Lachy’s extensive injury highlight reel. Once upon a time, he broke his arm performing some vigorous late-night wrist exercises. Since then, he’s apparently moved the training regime further south — swapping wrists for ankles.
Fast-forward to Wednesday: fuelled by pent-up tension from not seeing Ben Burrows each Saturday, he went too hard with the exercise and sadly, one ankle ligament unionised and walked off the job, swiftly followed by the other thirteen. Lachy’s out for the next few games. Again.
We arrived at The Glade expecting to see a bowling paradise, but somehow, to the joy of the batsman, it looked calm.
However, the real shock of the day wasn’t the surface — nor was it Craig “Gator” Bodzianowski reportedly winning the Illinois State Heavyweight Championship on one leg — it was Todd winning the toss. Again.
That’s three in a row. Mathematicians have confirmed this puts Todd statistically ahead of Volc, suggesting we bowl first, and Az correctly predicting the weather in the category of “things that simply don’t happen.
Aaron (49) and Arjun (16) strode out and got us off to a decent start, with Aaron batting beautifully until, mid-shot, he apparently remembered he left the washing out and glanced skyward to check the weather. The ball, unamused, rearranged his stumps. But things are looking up for our top order — Aaron and Arjun have found touch, and Lachy’s ready to return as soon as someone can find enough duct tape for his ankles.
Unlike last week’s “all-out in 10 minutes” approach, this week’s collapse had a bit more grace — like watching a slow-motion building demolition.
Sagnik (28) and Allec (15) chipped in with solid knocks, helping us crawl to a respectable total.
Then, in a stunning turn of events, I (Jack) decided actually to contribute runs this season. Taking Lachy’s pre-match advice — “Just bat like you’re in Under 16s again.” Getting 23 not out leads to doubling the runs I got last season.
We ended on 171, all out with seven overs left — a total best described as “neither here nor there but at least better than last week.”
The opening spells from Jack, Todd and young gun Dan produced some chances, but unfortunately, none could seem to go to hand. Todd took a diving catch, excited as he thought he had caught his mate from Glenorie, but it was short-lived as it was deemed a “bump ball”, still under discussion in the team after the day’s play on whether that was actually the case.
And that wraps up Day 1 — 171 runs and Glenorie 0-36, one bump-ball saga, and a giraffe on the casualty list.
Next week: Can the boys defend it? Will Lachy walk again? Find out next week.

WPHC (Prats) 3/289 dec Vs Kenthurst 1/26
A warm welcome and hello to all long-term and new readers of the famed B1 match reports, you are in for a fantastic read and one hell of a story from a famous Saturday…
The B1 boys arrived at a sun-drenched home of cricket with a pep in there step after a perfect 2-0 start to the season and back under the leadership of Box Score penchant Mr Cricket Prats….
A potentially life altering toss was about to take place with a long day in the field on offer for the loser, thankfully Mr Cricket broke his duck and called correctly to win the toss and uttered the most important 3 letters in the English language – BAT!!!
Back to regular programming again with Mumma’s Boy Hanich and All Rounder Bliss opening up for the mighty B1, unfortunately the partnership lasted 2 overs before Hanich pulled a masterful tactical retirement to get the lead partnership of the day together
Bung Shoulder Linschoten and All Rounder Bliss combined at the crease and decided to go nowhere for a long while to come, both men having their way with Kenthurst despatching there bowling all across a Sahara desert like Greenway, any chance of a bit of grass at the home of cricket please council
We had reached tea 1/145 with Blissy 3 short of a ton and Oli catching 50 quickly and the talk on the sidelines was ablaze with what had gotten into our 2 batsmen
Was it the fact we had supporters that had come to watch? Was it Big Bad Blissy and his lucky gum that was chalk at this point or was it a bowler who we won’t name but call codename “South East Battersea” who called both men “D Grade Batters”…. How dare you compare them to legends like Ian “Papa Digs” Digby and Ross “Iron-Fist” Anderson…. Blissy and Oli aren’t that good yet
3 balls after tea, Blissy brought up his 100 (WPHCCC hundred 172,845 per Rosco “Seagull” Anderson) in emphatic fashion with yet another four across the sand covered Greenway however he unfortunately succumbs to the deadly injury known as “Shaggers Back” shortly after due to pummelling the Kenthurst side for 3 hours straight and was forced to retire hurt aka…. pump up the average – Cameron Bliss scoring ton
Up stepped Cement Head Dunkerley to partner Oli as we looked to hammer home our advantage as the score climbed north of 200 and Bung Shoulder Oli looked to add to the tally of hundreds for the day till unfortunately tragedy struck….
Oli was given out LBW on 99 and the party mood at the home of cricket took an extremely sombre turn…. Even more so when Full-Kit W**ker McLennan walked to the crease promoted above club legend Rick “BDR” Turner…
Last week McLennan batted 6 below a 14-year old in the batting order, however this week he was promoted to number 5 above more inform batters and Rick Turner a living legend at our great Club
Allegations of collusion, bribery and match fixing have been levelled at Captain Prats over this highly controversial matter and a board meeting of the great minds of this club have been called on this pressing matter…. Captaincy Controversy had hit B1 in round 3
Back to the “important” cricket, not much was going on apart from Cement Head Dunkerley scoring 50* and B1 flying to 3/289 before a whistle and a wave and we had declared ready to get the ball in hand and ready to show our top tier bowling
Hot Take Watkins was fired and up and so he should after being the form bowler of the comp so far…. Hot Take took only 6 balls before a beautiful in-swinging Yorker had the Kenthurst captain gone with send-off to boot our man Hot Take was fired up and looking to take the mantle of resident B1 hothead off Dean Carlin… Not on this match reporters watch no way!!
After a tight and tense last 8 overs on the Sahara Greenway we had pulled stumps and had Kenthurst 1/26 at stumps after an enthralling and dominant day of WPHCCC cricket.
Before parting the B1’s would like to thank our supporters for turning up today and an extra special shout-out from this humble match reporter to the mum’s and dads who wake up on Sunday morning to read the most important news from our Saturday’s
Get it while you can everybody because as the season travels along this will become a much more rouge and illicit read, and will become players only very, very quickly
Till next week and another dominant B1 Saturday
See you all at the Home of Cricket

WPHC (Sparsh) 209 Vs Sydney Lions 3/30
It was a hot and sunny day as our team rocked up to Annangrove Park, hoping for our captain to win the toss and choose to bat first in the taxing heat. Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on our side as the toss was lost, but to our surprise, Sydney Lions sent us in to bat.
Openers Mukund and Edward walked out with the clear intent to bat long and wear the bowlers down. The innings started on a bright note with the very first ball flicked for four to fine leg. As the sun beat down and the bowlers began to tire, loose deliveries came more frequently and Edward made the most of them. The pair looked solid with Edward bringing up his half-century and the team cruising at 67 at drinks.
Post-drinks, Edward took it up a notch, smashing his first-ever six and continuing to dominate before falling for a brilliant 80 off 85 balls, ending a 121-run opening partnership. Mukund, who played the anchor role, was the next to fall a few overs later for 24 off 109, his knock holding the innings together for a long time.
Unfortunately, a mini collapse followed, with Rudhra, Harshil, Ratul, and Mayank falling in quick succession. Just as the innings was stalling, Manas counterattacked brilliantly, hitting boundaries at will and racing to 37 off 32 before getting out while trying to push the scoring rate further.
In the final phase, Renesh, Meet, and John Kurian combined to push the total to a respectable 208. Highlights from this partnership included first-ever sixes from both Meet and John, both pulled powerfully over square leg, almost mirror images of each other.
With 16 overs left in the day, we took the field determined to make inroads and put the Sydney Lions under pressure before they could bring in fresh batters next week.
The bowling effort began in the best possible way, Manas struck with the last ball of the first over, bowling the opener. Just three balls later, Rudhra followed up with another clean bowled, putting the opposition on the back foot early.
With Manas and Rudhra bowling tight, aggressive lines, runs were hard to come by. Manas picked up his second wicket a few overs later, and though a couple of chances went down, we ended the day in control with the Lions at 3/30 at stumps.
A day full of positives — a strong top-order batting display led by Edward, a valuable late push, and a clinical bowling performance. We return next week in a strong position and hungry to notch up our first win of the season.
C1 Grade
WPHC (Aniket) 247 Vs Berowra
C1’s won the toss and decided to bat first on what was forecast to be a hot day.
After 2 losses in the first 2 rounds, we wanted to get off to a good start in this match with Chetan and Raynaldo opening the innings for us. (It was their first match this season, as both of them were unavailable for the first 2 rounds).
Berowra bowlers started well, swinging the ball both ways- making excellent use of the conditions (the first boundary coming in the 7th over).
Ray fell early and that brought Eamon to the crease.
Eamon (23 runs) and Chetan (17 runs) then laid a solid platform – hitting quite a few boundaries and taking us to 50 in the 12th over.
The ball was moving a lot in the first session and we lost a few quick wickets (Eamon, Chetan and Lakshya) before drinks with the score at 58/4.
It was now up to Mohan and Daniel to steady the innings and help us post a decent score. Both of them batted together for 25+ overs/(71 runs) , with Dan playing the aggressor and doing the bulk of the scoring.
Dan (40 runs) was looking good until he got out to an excellent catch by the wicketkeeper (with our score at 125/5 in 43 overs).
Ram fell soon after, and that brought the stand-in skipper Saurabh to the crease who made 26 runs before being caught at midwicket.
Thereafter, Mohan did what he does best – making a well compiled 70 with a mix of caution and aggression. Mohan copped a beamer on his arm – (maybe a decent ploy by Berowra to soften him up)- and he got out on the very next delivery, mis-hitting one to square leg.
This ended an excellent 74 runs partnership for the 8th wicket (246/8) between Mohan and Amitava. Mustafa was out – bowled soon after. Amitava made an excellent contribution with a solid 30 runs, before he was given the last man out (lbw), in the last over of the day.
Our innings ended at 247.
We always feel that we should/ could have got a few more runs, but the team believes that we have now got a decent score on the board (considering the position we were in : 58/4).
The team is keen to get back onto the field, defend this total and get our first win of the season when we take the field next Saturday !

WPHC Blue (Chintan) 0/110 Vs Hornsby 253
Highlights
- Manraj Singh breaking the stumps 3/15
- Chintan Shah reaching 1,000 runs
After convincing wins in our first two opening rounds, the team rearing to go in their first two-dayer of the season, where else but Campbell park – a ground known for its quick outfield, and even quicker deterioration of the ball.
The outcome of the toss was no different – perhaps a new streak of losing the toss is starting to build, which is inversely related to how confidently you stride out in the middle. TLDR: We lost the toss and were put in to bowl.
Manraj and Mridul kicked things off, and went for a boundary or two but pulled things back and kept it tight. A few overs in, Hornsby’s strategy was clear:
1. They had an opener who would use all possible body parts [and his bat sometimes] to defend the ball
2. Their second opening batsman would be given not out, no matter what [pretty much ruling out lbws and even knicks to the keeper]
A couple of unlucky calls and just like that Hornsby had seen the first 10 overs through. Praneel then struck getting opener #1 mentioned above, who went for a duck even though he had faced 35 balls.
Chintan struck soon after and it looked like we were somewhat back in the game.
What followed for the next hour or so was some power hitting by Hornsby, with their number 4 getting a century off just 49 balls.
Chintan decided to mix things up a bit and got in pace at one end with Praneel, and spin at the other, with Agni.
The next 10 or so overs was perhaps the most disciplined bowling spell our team has seen. Both bowlers bowled beautifully in tandem, with Agni getting the all-important wicket of the man in form with a century, thanks to a crucial and well-judged catch by Manraj, and picking up another one soon after. Praneel too bowled some beautiful line and length deliveries, getting the other opener out who had managed to get to 72 by now.
We were now back in the game. Manraj was brought into the attack and wasted no time in cleaning the tail up with some fine swing bowling. He picked up 3 wickets, all clean bowled – even breaking the opponents middle stump at one point [straight after he was denied a caught behind or an lbw – can’t remember – unfortunately there were a few such instances]
Sayan chipped in with another wicket courtesy of Adi’s secure pair of hands :)
After 2/199, getting them all out for 253 was the comeback of all comebacks!
We had about 16 overs to play until the day ended, and given the warm weather – safe to say were a tired bunch. The goal was clear – let’s just not lose any wickets today!
That messaging was somewhat lost for Vikrant, as he got things going with a boundary off the very first ball. Chintan too wasted no time in joining the party and soon the scoreboard was ticking along nicely.
Seeing through 4 of their key bowlers, we soon brought up the team 50…and before we knew it, it was 110/0 at close of play! Fantastic work by Chintan and Vik
Definitely a tough day for our bowlers, but the manner in which this team fights back from tough situations, is inspiring and commendable!

WPHC Red (Ravi) 5/58 defeated on 1st innings Mt Colah 57
After losing yet another toss on a gloomy and windy Sunday Reds were asked to bowl at the Mount Colah Oval.
Reds were buoyed by the return of their captain Ravi back from injury opening the attack and had Praveg from the other end with this pace and accuracy.
Tight disciplined bowling on a big ground meant runs were coming at a premium and wickets and were falling in regular intervals.
Praveg got one ball to seam up and catch the edge through to keeper to start off the wickets and Praveg again effected a run out with a sharp throw shortly after.
While Anush tried to up the ante with a few boundaries, Rohit held on to a sharp catch at slips off Vishnu’s bowling to send him packing.
Regular tight bowling from Tushar and Nirav meant there was no way to break free and Mount Colah found themselves at 50/8.
Praveg later came back to wipe off the tail with sharp in-swinging deliveries to finish off with scarcely believable figures of 6 for 4 in 8.3 overs at an economy of 0.7!
Such was the commanding bowling performance from Reds that though we dropped 3 catches, we still managed to skittle the opposition out for 57!
Chasing a total of 57 was never going to be daunting task, but Colah’s disciplined bowling induced a few false shots and Reds were down to 25/3 in around 12 overs. While Praveg and Siby steadied the ship with a calm partnership both of them fell in a span of 3 overs to leave Reds in a spot of bother at 45/5.
Vishnu and Chintan then saw through the rest of the day, and more crucially got the first innings lead to leave Reds in a strong position going into next Sunday 😊

WPHC Blue (Roger) 8/237 defeated Thornleigh 110
Match report
WPHCCC Blues batted first and put a up solid 237/8 including a blistering 51 by Niranjan Kumar Suruliappan and a solid 42 by opener Mahesh Kadaganchi. Uniquely 2 of the 8 WPHCCC wickets lost were out hit wicket.
Thornleigh were bundled out for 110 all out in 28 overs. Leading wicket takers were Balaraman Raghuraman 3/24 and Pankaj Gowande 4/12. 3 of Pankaj’s 4 dismissals were bowled and with identical deliveries in the block hole where the batters were yorked, all the more more noteworthy given Pankaj is a spinner. Niranjan Kumar Suruliappan’s performance also deserves a further mention given he followed up his batting by bowling his full quota of 7 overs picking up a wicket and also taking a screamer at first slip of Mahesh Shinde’s bowling. Roger’s bowling changes were paying off one after the other as at point almost every bowling change resulted in a wicket in the first over.
The 127 run win was especially sweet since we ( largely the same team) lost to Thornleigh (with many of the same team as today) in D2s in the 24/25 season in a closely fought crucial encounter on the road to the Semi finals.
Final tally
WPHCCC Blues 237/8, 35 overs

WPHC (Ross S) 251 Vs Castle Hill RSL 1/49
Back at Greenup again, second game in succession.
Skipper wins the toss for a 3rd time in a row, and has no hesitation batting in hot windy conditions.
This game we have 3 under 14s playing with us over the next 2 weeks. Welcome to Sachin Dixit today (first seniors game), William Hayes (first seniors game) and Flynn Di Pietro both playing next week.
Ross and Sandeep opening up against some solid bowling.. A couple of boundaries to Ross before a quick single turned into disaster , Sandeep run out without facing a ball WPH 1/10.
Ramil then joined Ross, and looked sharp from the first ball he faced hitting the ball cleanly to all parts of the ground….both batters putting on a solid partnership. Ramil bringing up his 50 just before the drinks break. At drinks WPH 1/73.
After the break Ross and Ramil progressed the score steadily, with Ramil taking full toll of the bad ball and Ross a couple of boundaries.
A solid partnership of 82 finally broken . Skipper caught in front for 28. 2/92 after 22 overs..
For the next 12 overs runs flowed with Raymond 18 hitting some solid boundaries before being caught behind, then Sachin hitting his first seniors run, a boundary through mid wicket, then getting caught in gully. Ramil finally bringing up his century just before tea. At the break WPH 5/173 (34 overs), with Ramil 104 no.
Really pleasing after the break we continued to build partnerships with Ramil, firstly Muthindra then Lachlan M, Ramil finally out stumped for 120….(20*4s /4*6s). This is our 541st Club century.
Some lusty blows from Jacques batting at 10 …..37no (5*4s and 2*6s). Got us to 251 at the completion of our innings. Castle Hill 20 overs to bat.
Right from the start there was limited intent from the batters, a couple of boundaries and sundries helping their score along. Our bowlers toiled hard and bowled really tightly. Fielding was excellent… but we just could not generate many chances. Just one very difficult catch went down. 7 bowlers used over 20 overs to find a wicket before finally one in the 19th over….A very sharp chance caught by Sachin (u14) off Muthindra…..at close of play Castle Hill 1/49..
Hopefully we can generate some early wickets next week and come out with a win.
