The Willows vs
Christchurch Boys' High School 1st XI
Christchurch Boys' High School 1st XI
Report by Robert Dunne
After 4 years of consecutive defeats to the CBHS side the Willows hoped they had assembled a side that could break the drought. Tradition was thrown out the window as the Willows XI chose to bowl first after seeing a bit of green in the Willows wicket.
Sam Davis and Matt Parr took the new ball and looked likely but the CBHS opening combination of Hartland and Heard were solid and did a fantastic job of seeing the school through a difficult period. The ageless Andrew Nuttall and Fraser Hill proved tough to get away and were easily the Willows best bowlers on the day. If not for their efforts the Willows would have been chasing more than 219.
The run chase started badly for the Willows with Fraser Sheat taking the prized wicket of his schoolteacher and coach Matt Parr. A solid partnership between Fraser Hill and Ben Blair looked promising but unfortunately CBHS had some excellent slow bowlers of their own. Sidey, Hartland and Chapman were all tough to get away and also picked up wickets regularly, meaning the Willows never really threatened the CBHS total and had to resign to a 5th loss on the trot.
The Willows selection committee will have to revisit their plans for 2017 but it was a fantastic day out. The Willows playing XI featured 5 previous captains of CBHS dating back to 1995 and it was also fantastic to see Richie McCaw make his debut for the Willows as well as picking up his first wicket. We hope that he will be a regular visitor to Jaguar Oval.
CBHS 219/9
B Hartland 70, F Hill 2-30
The Willows 163/9
R Dunne 47, F Hill 35, F Sheat 2-15, C Sidey 2-11
