WPHC (Cam #25) 2/170 dec & 0/8 defeated outright Normanhurst 119 & 51
Welcome back to the unmarked outfield of Kenthurst for week two against Normo.
It’s been a big week for all. From outlook to Nvidia to housing prices and the English cricket team, it was a week full of collapses. However, we were looking to avoid a similar fate, as we embarked on chasing another 50 odd runs to win on first innings.
There was a bit of precipitation around this week which meant we were on the covers.
A big shoutout to Shaan and Dane as the covers MVPs, ensuring they were down on Friday night. Although I sure hope those are the only covers Edna is entertaining this weekend given he is still yet to receive Jamaican’s blessing.
Onto the batting and with DA a week one only, we started the day with Jim and P striding to the crease together to start ourt batting innings.
Now I must apologies to our viewers, as given Kenthurst only just got running water, it was to be expected that there was no WiFi , which resulted in a lack of live scoring.
Anyway, relying upon the Possum’s updates, we were 2-98 off 35 and then 2-150 off 48 as we pushed on for a potential outright victory.
The pick of the batsmen were Juw who scored a nice 30 odd, along with Jamaican who wound back the clock with a classy 48 which moved him past Volc (who will always be 7073*) on the all-time runs leaderboard for WPHCCC in a special moment for the two mates.
So after declaring for around 170 at tea, it was great to see Normo get a bit of value for their subs batting for the second time this round.
Unfortunately, they didn’t make the most of it as they ended up all out for 51, largely due to Harry who took another 5 to end up with 10 for the match. Not since Phill have we seen such a talented Hando in the West Penno ranks.
Editors note:
- Harry finished with Match figures of 10/28 (5/20 & 5/8). This is just the 58th 10 wicket haul or better in our history and just the 7th time in A1 Grade
- The best ever A1 10-wicket haul, remains 16/96 by the great leg spinner Ken Donaldson who took 9/34 & 7/62) way back in 1978/79 @ Storey Park.
So the equation was 8 runs to chase before stumps.
We did so two down as we took the 10 points, winning outright for the first time this season.
The focus now turns to a round 6 test match against St Ives led by Ray “Luke” Hedley.
Until then, take care, stay loyal and NEVER blame yourself.

WPHC (Todd) 128 lost to Thornleigh 161
Unfortunately, not really much to say today.
By the time we called it a day, your match report writer had probably still spent more time dealing with covers at The Glade over the past 24 hours rather than actually playing cricket. Which is a pretty good indicator that it was not a particularly good day out.
Chasing our measly 128, Thornleigh started the day in a strong spot at 3/96 but with rumours of a long, dodgy tail whirling around, we hit the ground with a sniff of hope, rejuvenated by Shomik’s speech before the first ball as Todd had left the ball in his car (again).
And Todd started us off perfectly, picking up a big wicket just a few overs in as their number four chopped on. From that point on, though, our fielding unfortunately let us down.
Despite giving us chances left, right and centre, we simply could not catch a cold (or it would fall into a gap) as a variety of swings and hacks whittled the runs down until they passed our target. Just as the runs were beginning to flow freely, though, Dan Schwartzel (nickname TBA) hit the stumps to break the partnership.
From then on, our bowlers dominated as we picked up our game, hitting good lines and lengths to the Thornleigh lower order and stifling their chances of going for quick runs and sending us back in.
Eventually, a series of hacks out of frustration saw the wickets tumble, Thornleigh all out for 161 by 3pm, a 30-odd run lead.
Tanay, Todd, Jack and Dan all ended with two wickets each while BDF chipped in with 1 at an economy rate of about 0.000001 (give or take a few).
Other teams may have wanted to send us back in but with storms approaching and both teams preferring to hit the beers rather than consistently deal with the covers in miniscule hopes of an outright victory, we called it there. For a bunch of guys who pay hundreds of bucks every year to spend their Saturdays during summer standing in a paddock, we certainly have a low threshold for calling it quits.
Back onto astro next week against the Hornsby team from B grade, and hopefully back to winning ways after three tough losses on the trot.

WPHC 179 defeated ARL CC 172
A warm welcome and hello to all long term and new readers of the famed B1 match report, sit back relax and enjoy the stories & tales of a famous Saturday.
I’m Back!!!!
This humble match reporter has taken the reigns back for a 1-week special, you’ll find out why later but these type of Saturdays called for experience & sturdy hands at the wheel of The WPHCCC Revenue Earner – Match Reports.
We arrived back at Kenthurst No.2 and it was bloody stinking hot, it was way, way too hot… Cricket on days like this is why I understand why people quit the sport to actually have fun in their lives
The less said about the first hour or so the better…. After the first 27 overs of the innings, ARL had cruised to 0-58 and this game was looking like a fait accompli to the away side.
However, it was time to turn to our trusty #1 spinner – C Bliss & much like how the rest of the day goes he chipped in with 2 quick wickets after some very ordinary shot making – Blissy into the action and setting the tone for his special and famed day
ARL had rebounded tho – 2-100 at 3:27pm and with options running thin right before tea, it was time to call on the golden arm….
The G-Man McLennan was thrown the red rock and to the laughs and hilarity of everybody the 1 set batsmen managed to pick out Blissy in the deep on a very, very short boundary…
WPHCCC Back Baby!!!
From that Point on it was spin to win… Pace was off the menu and these mighty Blues (we will always remain blue) rode the hot hand of G-Man & Blissy with both men chipping in 1 one more each to have ARL reeling again at 5-120
The G-Man was done after exhausting all his options, Stevey Ahmed back into the attack bowling you bloody guessed it…. Spin!! This deck had become Day 4 at Chennai not Kenthurst No.2.
However, it was Blissy doing all the damage, the man could do it again and wsas doing everything for us… He’d taken his 5th for the day and 7-150 ARL found themselves before what can only be described as the worst ball of the day was bowled.
This Humble match reporter has been a pace bowler for close to 15 years… I tried to get the ball to “spin” what proceeded to come out was a disgusting long hop that got smacked into the deep…. A fielder emerged!! Blissy catches another one, the man can do no bloody wrong unbelievable stuff
Blissy kept going…. He took his 6th for the day, the man was tired but he kept trundling in and spinning it and took 6/69 off 22 overs in a time of need with our backs up against the wall – 9/155
Editors note: stay tuned because ther are some photos from the game that are on there way and will be loaded once received.
The 10th wicket partnership of ARL was experienced more than ever seen before, they got the total within 8 to win however they hadn’t experienced the magic of the Blues yet…
Stevey Ahmed took the 2nd new ball, it came out of his hand…..short and wide – the batsmen hit it, it flew low and fast towards point…. The fielder dived low….the fielder snagged it!!! Hang On it couldn’t be…. The Fielder was 1 Cameron “I’ll do it MYSELF” Bliss…. A generational carry job was complete.
Delirious scenes of joy for the tricky blues, the team embraced in a pile of human joy with forehead kisses & busted sunnies to boot
The Blues down to the G-Man who hadn’t taken a wicket in 5 1/2+ years, Old Man Carlin bowling “spin”, Stevey Ahmed with the 1 ball of the new rock & the man of the hour Cameron “MVP” Bliss had done it – unbelievable I LOVE CRICKET!!!
A phenomenal day of cricket, a famous down and out comeback sparked by 1 man who should be playing for Australia if I had my way!!
What a day, what a game, what a Club and who needs pace bowling when you can bowl 29 consecutive overs of spin and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!!!
A much-needed win & like always the Blues never do it easy
Man of the Match & Year goes to Cameron “better then Judas #2” Bliss with 6 wickets & 4 catches (1 C&B) = 9 Total Wicket Involvements
This humble match reporter bids you a hearty goodbye for now as he will continue his fill-in captaincy career (2-0) and the tales of Saturday go back to the G-Man!!! God we will never hear the end of him taking 2fa … F**king spare me!!!
Till Next Time!!
Viva La Blue!!
Viva La Cameron Bliss – I Love You Blissy!!!

WPHC Blue(Sparsh) 8/267 dec defeated Kenthurst Upper Hills 63 & 1/36
The day began with us declaring on 267, setting our sights on bowling Kenthurst out cheaply and pushing for an outright victory.
Our bowling innings got off to a spectacular start, with Manas and Manav bowling tight lines and lengths and picking up four wickets between them — three to Manas and one to Manav. The pressure continued to mount as Vaibhav and Mayank were introduced into the attack, making life difficult for the Kenthurst batsmen and restricting their scoring opportunities. By drinks, Kenthurst were struggling at 4/28.
Following the drinks break, Shanks joined Mayank in the attack, with the pair continuing to apply relentless pressure. Mayank was rewarded with two wickets before a passing rain shower brought about an early tea break, leaving Kenthurst reeling at 6/42.
Fortunately, no additional playing time was lost, and we were able to resume straight after tea.
Kenthurst managed to add a few more runs after the break, but Shanks made quick work of the tail, ripping through the remaining batsmen to bowl them out for just 63.
It was an outstanding all-round bowling performance from the boys, especially in the heat.
With a commanding first-innings lead of 204 runs, we decided to enforce the follow-on and have another crack at securing the outright victory.
We struck early to claim the first wicket, but Kenthurst managed to dig in and hold on until stumps. Play was called at 5 pm, with Kenthurst finishing on 1/36 in their second innings.
Although the outright win proved just out of reach, it was a fantastic team effort and a comprehensive first-innings victory, highlighted by some exceptional bowling and relentless pressure throughout the day.
Attention now turns to our next challenge — a WPHCCC derby at Caddies Creek!

WPHC Blue (Aniket) 243 defeated Oakhill College 132
Morning Session: Finishing with Fire
Resuming Day 2 eight wickets down, overnight batters Aniket Mahindre and Amitava Sen wasted no time setting the tone.
Both came out with intent, finding the boundary early and punishing anything loose. Aniket put together a brisk 28 off 31 balls (4 fours) before being deceived by a slower delivery from Lachlan Ware, chipping a catch to gully.
Prashant Kumar—joining the squad for Day 2 after missing the opening week—picked up right where Aniket left off, striking a crisp boundary in a quickfire 8 off 9 balls before also falling to a slower ball at short cover.
With Amitava remaining rock-solid at the crease on 25* (53 balls, 3 fours), WPHCCC Blue closed their innings at a strong total of 243 in 77.1 overs, leaving plenty of time to bowl out the young Oakhill College line-up.
Defending 243, new-ball pair Advay Rathor and Mohit Chadha immediately built pressure with disciplined lines and lengths.
Advay broke through first, beating the defences of Isaak Bale (2) to rattle his stumps, while Mohit followed up with a sharp short delivery that opener Guryash Puri (4) chopped back onto his own woodwork.
First-change bowlers Aniket and Isaac kept the clamps on in a tight tandem spell as light drizzle began to fall. Despite the damp conditions, Aniket produced a piece of magic—getting the ball to swing both ways in the same delivery—to clean bowl Aalekh Talati (4).
Heavy rain soon forced an early tea break, and once play resumed, WPHCCC briefly lost their shape. Oakhill capitalised on a bit of luck and loosened lines to dig in and compile a fighting half-century
Needing to regain control, Prashant Kumar stepped up and decided it was time to wrap things up early.
Bowling an extraordinary, ultra-economical spell (10-3-16-4 at 1.60 RPO), every delivery felt like a wicket-taking opportunity. Prashant ripped through the Oakhill middle order, sparking a flurry of catches across the field.
From the other end, vice-captain Saurabh Kapoor provided brilliant spin support, operating right-arm over the wicket to clean bowl left-hander Matthew (10) on his way to tidy figures of 1/11 from 5 overs.
With Prashant hunting a well-deserved five-wicket haul, Lakshya Rao entered the attack from the opposite end with no sympathy, determined to clean up the tail first.
In just his second over, Lakshya induced an edge from Abhineet (2) through to the keeper—snapped up by Aniket—before banging in a short ball that Ranidu De Silva (9) fended to Aniket in the slips, bowling Oakhill out for 132 in 43.3 overs.
Despite a brief rain scare and a momentary lapse in patience after tea, it was a clinical, dominant victory for WPHCCC Blue.
Once the Association updates the ladder points, the squad is well-positioned at the top of the table as they look to carry this winning streak deep into the finals.
WPHC Red (Roger Francis) 78 & 5/94 lost to Hornsby 9/323
There honestly isn’t much to write about this week’s match. Mainly because we barely lasted long enough to give the scorers something to do.
After last week’s match, where Hornsby had put up a massive 323, WPHCCC Red returned hoping to put together a strong batting display and make a proper contest of things.
Unfortunately, what followed was 78 all out, a performance that left very little room for interpretation and even less room for celebration.
The innings began with Aryan Kapoor departing for a duck, followed shortly by Hiresh De Silva, who managed just 2 before being run out. Two wickets down, and things were already looking familiar.
Then came Rahul Vinodh Kumar, who produced the only genuine batting performance of the innings, scoring a brilliant 38. While the rest of the team seemed to be competing to see who could get back to the pavilion fastest, Rahul actually looked like he knew what he was doing.
Harshil added 12, while Atharva managed 14, featuring several enthusiastic slogs that unfortunately couldn’t quite clear the infield. Plenty of commitment, plenty of bat speed, and absolutely no concern for where the fielders were standing.
Captain Roger Francis contributed 1, although he appeared far more interested in hitting the ground than hitting the ball. Ratul followed with a duck, becoming our second run-out victim of the innings alongside Hiresh. Between the two of them, they managed to manufacture two run-outs in an innings where we desperately needed people to stay at the crease.
The lower order wasn’t much better, with Ritesh getting caught and Meet departing for a duck.
And then there was Kowsik Lakshmanan.
After being bowled by a perfectly straight, short half-tracker, Kowsik walked off with a golden duck, only to insist afterwards that the ball had swung away from him. A remarkable explanation considering the delivery barely moved off its straight line. Clearly, taking responsibility wasn’t on the agenda.
And then there was Jayant, who finished 0 not out, narrowly missing out on a magnificent century. A heartbreaking near miss that will surely haunt him for the rest of the season.
Eventually, we were bundled out for 78. Rahul’s 38 accounted for almost half our total, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know.
There was also the small matter of Rahul launching the original cricket ball somewhere beyond the boundaries of Dural Park, forcing a replacement ball to be brought in. We’re fairly certain we would’ve won if that ball hadn’t been changed, so we’ll put this one down to Rahul.
And just when things couldn’t get any worse, the rain arrived. For about two minutes, there was genuine hope that we might escape with a draw. Unfortunately, the rain stopped almost as quickly as our batting lineup collapsed, and it was back to reality.
To our credit, the second innings was considerably better. Aryan led the way with 18, Harshil added 17, Rahul finished unbeaten on 14, and Ratul chipped in with 10. We eventually reached 5/94, a much more respectable effort.
Unfortunately, this newfound ability to bat arrived when the match was already beyond saving. Apparently, batting was possible after all, just not when it actually mattered.
A final special mention to Rahul for sending the match ball into another postcode and potentially costing us the match, Kowsik for his golden duck and the creative swing-bowling explanation that followed, and Roger for ensuring the ground received more attention than his batting.
WPHCCC Red. We’ll get ’em next week.

WPHC Blue (Chintan) 228 defeated Mt Colah 114
After a strong first day, the plan from Pennos was score some quick runs and go hard with the ball. They were was a looking threat with thunderstorms forecasted, so we needed to be sharp with our plans.
Day started exactly as planned with Ram scoring some quick runs and Pritam walking in for some lusty blows which took the total to 228. Anand stayed not put on 21* and held one end well. Pennos were confident with the total on a big and slow ground.
The start with the ball was perfect with Ram getting their opener bowled on the second ball of the innings. The pressure was on from the other end with Anand and Praveg not giving any freebies.
Anand created many chances, with edges falling short of the slips and a catch getting dropped; unfortunately, he did not get a wicket despite bowling well.
Some neat catching by keeper Sitabja put Mount Colah in deep trouble at 31/5. With a win virtually out of the equation, they were looking at a draw with rain in the radar.
A steady 6th wicket partnership put some brakes on wickets while they respected the good balls and punished anything short and wide.
Some rain and thunderstorm delays followed, along with some heated arguments—well, who knows. Tempers were brought down swiftly with the water pouring down (excuse the pun) on the ground and Pennos had to reset when the game eventually resumed.
Praveg was brought back to snatch two more wickets for his Fifer and Agni got the big hitting leftie to get Pennos close again. Some tail wagging and resistance from the last batsmen followed, but tight bowling from Pritam and the returning Ram cleaned up the tail to give Pennos a thumping 114-run win.
A much-needed win for us after coming close a couple of times; it’s great to build momentum for the next game against Glenorie.

WPHC Blue (Roger Friend) 295 defeated WPHC White (Ravi) 291
Our “Sheep Station” game between C4 Blue and White turned into an absolute thriller, played throughout in the friendly spirit, sportsmanship and camaraderie you would expect when two West Penno teams meet in the C4 competition.
Blue resumed Day 2 at 260/7 from 70 overs and pushed the total to 295 all out in 74.5 overs, with Vinoth Sambasiwam making a valuable 57. Vinod Kumar was outstanding for White, taking all three wickets to fall on the day and finishing with White’s best figures of 4/44.
Set 295 for victory, White produced a magnificent run chase and put Blue under enormous pressure from the outset.
Gihan Thebuwanage made 52 retired not out, while Arindam Dhar played an outstanding innings of 112. Their 135-run opening partnership laid the platform for the chase, and remarkably Blue’s first wicket did not come until the score had reached 174.
Editors note:
- Arindam’s century is our 7th this season and the 574th in our history
- The 135 run 1st wicket partnership between Arindam (112) & Gihan (52 retired) is a new Club C4 record. It beat the previous record of 115 set by Aden Hanich & Luke Fullerton on 16/1/2021.
With White closing in on the target, Blue had to fight for every breakthrough.
The bowling honours went to Niranjan Suruliappan, who produced a superb extended spell to finish with 5/51 from an unbroken 16.4 overs including the crucial wicker of the centurion Arindham Dhar.
Mahesh Shinde deserves special mention. After padding & gloving up until 5pm as the back-up keeper, he handed the gloves to the safe hands of Roger Friend and came on to bowl, taking a remarkable 3/6, including the crucial wicket of White captain Ravi Gunna, caught behind by Roger.
Balaraman Raghuraman chipped in with 2/49, finding wicket success in his second spell.
Fielding honours were shared between Bala Raghuraman with two catches and Vinoth Sambasiwam with a classic diving catch at point.
In the end, the scores tell the story of just how close this match was. White were bowled out for 291 in 62.4 overs, falling only four runs short of Blue’s 295.
Blue 295 all out
White 291 all out
WPHCC Blue won by just 4 runs (first innings).
It was a sweet victory for Blue in our first two-day game in 1½ seasons, but huge credit must go to White for a tremendous run chase that took the game right down to the wire.
Most importantly, it was a terrific contest between two West Penno sides, fiercely competitive on the field but played throughout with friendship, good humour and great sportsmanship. A match both teams can be proud of.
WPHC Red(Diggers) 148 lost to Hornsby 196
Tim and Dean strode out to resume from last week chasing down what we believed was a par score.
Unfortunately we lost Dean early but he had done part one of his job and batted us through a tricky 6 over spell last week. Adi joined Tim and started to build a partnership with both batting well, but it was when we lost Tim that we saw a middle order collapse losing 5/14 🙁
Enter Skipper Diggers who steadied the ship and continued a vigilant partnership with Nandit adding 39 and soaking up overs, Shrey joined his skipper to add another 30 runs and keeping us in the hunt for a win before Digger’s stalwart innings came to an end, top scoring with 29 (which was worth a 50 on any other ground – Arcadia had its usual slow outfield with ‘wooly’ grass cover that allowed only singles for the most part).
Shrey batted wonderfully and along with Cliff kept us on the edge of whether to continue with the run chase or shut up shop. Hedging our bets, Shrey continued to look for runs but fell after a classy late order knock.
It was left to Buzz and Cliff (combined age of approximately 150 🙂) to shut down the bowling and survive a dozen overs to stumps.
They saw off several probing overs but alas, an injured Cliff who batted stoically through the pain of bruised ribs from last week was caught by a stunning catch and we ended up short on the day.
Some great fight from the lower order and a wonderful attitude to hunt down the win even with backs to the wall puts us in great shape for the next round.
D1 & D2 Grade
WPHC (Parin) 9/249 drew with Oakhill College 278
WPH were glad to be batting after a full day of fielding last week.
Oakhill had set us a target of 278 runs. The session before tea was very slow, with a few stops for rain and lost balls, but saw good performances from openers Raymond (11) and Anuj (21). More importantly, they softened the ball up for Ramil and Parin, who both barely missed out on their half-centuries, scoring 48 and 46 respectively.
After a few quick wickets, we were now 7-159. Oakhill had gained some confidence, and were now getting through their overs quickly. WPH still had to last a few more hours.
In came Kiran and Sanjeewa. Kiran played with a great deal of finesse, scoring 16, and holding down one end while Sanjeewa amassed 50 runs with his powerful hitting.
However, the fall of two wickets once again put the game in jeopardy.
Then Ross Anderson and Lachlan J came on for a last wicket partnership. They were hung on for the last five overs, bringing WPH to a hard-fought draw.
Senior Mixed One-Day Competition
WPHC (Rob) 7/168 defeated Berowra C4 101
WPHCCC took on Berowra C4 White in their latest 35-over encounter, with the Whites winning the toss and putting the Greens in to bat. The Greens made good use of their time at the crease, posting a competitive 7/168 before the bowlers put on an impressive display to dismiss Berowra for just 101, securing a comfortable 67-run victory.
Abhinav Budhwar (52) and Munish Verma (11) opened the batting for the Greens, getting the innings underway with a steady start. Munish was the first to fall, caught and bowled by James Tod, before James Gelding was trapped LBW by Henry Watts shortly afterwards. Indranil Mukherjee then joined Abhinav at the crease, and the pair put together an excellent 94-run partnership for the third wicket.
Abhinav brought up a well-earned half-century, scoring 52 off 101 balls, while Indranil was in particularly aggressive form, racing to 65 off just 56 deliveries, including nine boundaries and two sixes. Abhinav was eventually dismissed by John Clayton, bringing Zia Ahmed (8) to the crease. Zia was caught by Brandon Coelho off John, who was proving difficult to get away. Muditha Dissanayake (2) and Menura Liyanage were both dismissed shortly afterwards, with John continuing his excellent spell to claim five wickets.
Indranil eventually retired unbeaten on 65, while Manu Trivedi (5*) and Nathan Gelding (1*) helped push the Greens past 160. The innings finished at 7/168 after 35 overs, with a special mention to Indranil for his impressive 65 and Abhinav for a patient half-century.
Berowra began their chase in the worst possible fashion, with Nathan Gelding removing James Tod for a golden duck in the opening over. Archie Tod (32) and Brandon Coelho (18) then looked to rebuild the innings, putting together a useful partnership to take Berowra towards 50. Manu Trivedi eventually broke through, removing Archie, before Armaan Hukku dismissed Brandon to leave the Whites needing to rebuild once again.
Neil Coelho (18) and John Clayton (12) offered some resistance, but Aahren Verma struck twice, removing Ewan Heathers and Benjamin Clayton in quick succession. Neil was then bowled by Aahren, leaving Berowra in serious trouble at 6/78. Nathan returned to remove John, while Zia Ahmed chipped in with an important wicket of Henry Watts. Menura Liyanage then got in on the action, dismissing Jesse Watts, before Harley Watts was run out thanks to some good work in the field from Malinda and Zia. Berowra were eventually all out for 101 after 32 overs, falling 67 runs short of the target.
The Greens’ bowling attack shared the wickets around, with John Clayton the standout performer for Berowra, taking 5/18 in an excellent spell. For WPHCCC, Armaan Hukku led the way with an impressive 2/10 off 7 overs, while Nathan Gelding (2/24) and Aahren Verma (2/14) also claimed two wickets apiece. Zia Ahmed and Menura Liyanage chipped in with a wicket each, ensuring there was no opportunity for Berowra to build any meaningful partnerships.
In the end, a strong batting performance from Indranil and Abhinav, followed by an excellent all-round bowling effort, saw WPHCCC secure a convincing 67-run victory.
A special mention goes to Armaan for his economical 2/10, and to Indranil for his excellent unbeaten 65 off 56 balls, helping set up a great result for the Greens.Mukherjee 65
