HOT STUFF (Interesting Fact): The Casey CardiniaCricket Association, the league that Zach plays in, cancelled their entireSaturday programme due to a fifty-degree heatwave.

A few miles further East, despite the best efforts of bothJordan and Ryan, Churchill went down to a disappointing defeat againstGlengarry that may just have killed off their championship ambitions. Battingfirst and with Jordy once again opening the batting, he received no supportuntil Ryan joined him at 46-3 with Jordy already well into the 30s. They tookthe score to 76 before Jordy went lbw for 43 including three 4s and a six. Ryanbatted on before he too became an lbw victim for 36 and the score stuttered onto a poor 146 all out. It never looked enough as every Glengarry batsman barone, reached double figures and despite Jordan producing a sterling bowlingeffort with figures of 10-4-21-3, Churchill went down to a six-wicket defeatwith six overs to spare.

Sam's contribution to his side's Saturday win, wasnegligible as the 'burbs cemented third spot with a 22-run win over localrivals Western Suburbs. Batting first they racked up 187-5 in the allotted 40overs with Sam only managing three with the bat. The visitors were then bowledout for 165 with Sam one of seven bowlers used in what I suspect weresweltering conditions. His 1-3 in four overs helped secure the win as all butone of the bowlers captured at least one scalp.

We're now in a position to add a fifth down under player toOzwatch as newly signed overseas player Caleb Donaldson enters our zone. Theadmins in New Zealand are a bit more laid back about posting match results andat present neither Caleb nor Finlay's results have been posted. Watch thisspace.
