SACC 2nd XI 304-2 (40 overs)
Javea CC 179-7 (40 overs)
SACC 2nd XI got their league challenge off to a fine start courtesy of
a crushing win against Javea CC in a match sponsored by Fandangos
restaurant in Albir. The home side won the toss and opted to bat,
although the visitors made smart use of the new ball and run-scoring
was difficult early on. Javea were rewarded for an accurate opening
spell when the wicket of Mudasser (35) fell to Braithwaite (1-47 from
8 overs) in the tenth over, and when Stanfield ran out Williams,
leaving the score on 72-2, the visitors might have fancied restricting
their opponents to a modest total. The partnership of Spencer (134
n.o.) and S. Ur-Rehamn (114 n.o. from just 67 balls), however, soon
turned the match back in Alfas’s favour, with boundaries coming at a
breathtaking rate all around the wicket. Only Curness (0-23 from 8
overs) was able to exercise a degree of control, as the remainder of
the Javea bowlers were put to the sword by a stunning counterattack.
In reply, Javea were soon in trouble, as Lewis (3-47 from 8 overs),
Spencer (1-11 from 6) and Muñoz (1-12 from 5) struck early to leave
the visitors reeling at 48-5 in the 13th over, the game all but up.
The breakthroughs were a combination of fine bowling and excellent
fielding, with some outstanding catches held at point and slip. A
useful partnership between Brathwaite (44) and Curness (12) added 57
for the 6th wicket, before both batsmen fell to Patterson (2-24 from 7
overs), just reward for a beguiling spell of left arm orthodox.
Bindley (31 n.o.) and C.Matthews (25 n.o.) added a modicum of
respectability to the Javea total and the process secured another
batting point, but in truth Alfas dominated the game from start to
finish to run out 125 run winners. The result collected 18 points for
SACC 2 and 4 points for Javea CC.
