Alan Reid’s 10 wicket bag nearly destroys Timaru’s hopes

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 11:59 pm

Alan Reid did everything the columnist asked of him with a 10 wicket match bag that almost took Waimate from the bottom of the table to join Star at the top after Timaru had started the day in a strong position at 135-3 with not out batsmen Jordy Morrow on 80 and Hitesh Angrish 38, and while Morrow couldn’t add any further runs, Angrish went on to make 73. Reid took 6-57 and aided by some good fielding and bad running Timaru were dismissed 68 runs short of Waimate’s first innings 285.

Batting a second time Waimate’s captain Nathan Sew Hoy again got into the thirties as did Craig Booth but it was Hayden Matthews who top scored with an unbeaten 59 that allowed the declaration to come at 166-3. Needing 235 runs from only 26 overs was always going to be an uphill battle and wickets fell regularly as the chase went on. When the game started petering out to a draw, wickets to the part timers kept Waimate in the hunt as they came disappointingly close with Timaru 129-9.Waimate (1st Innings) 285

Rafferty Falls One Short – 99 Caught!

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 11:29 am

Waimate had a home game against competition leaders Timaru and batted first with Naffa 33 shaking off Friday nights excesses, Reuben Allan 32, Hayden Matthews with 22 getting off a run of ducks and Craig Booth a solid 37 allowing the team to be semi pleased at 161-6.

But ‘Rafferty Fox’ finally got his bat to do some talking as he found No 8 in the order to his liking, as well as the Timaru bowlers on his way to easily his highest score for Waimate (afternoon grades) of 99, and will no doubt be bitterly disappointed he didn’t get that extra run to feature on the Honours Board before departing for the Coast and a new job.

His innings (well supported by Chucky Sew Hoy with 16 not out) helped Waimate score 285 in their first innings.

Allan Reid - All RounderThe match is now poised at an interesting stage with Jordy Morrow (80*) and Hitesh Angrish (38*) batting when Timaru resume their innings next week on 135-3 and they may look to try and consolidate their position at the top of the table by targeting first innings points, but Alan Reid who already has all three wickets to fall will be looking for a good ‘bag’ for himself and to put Waimate in the box seat and get themselves off the bottom of the table.

Farewell to Matt Devlin (Dev)

Filed under: General News,Senior — admin @ 1:42 pm
Matt Devlin - Down through the years

This weekend the Waimate Cricket Club lost one of their long serving players, as Matt Devlin leaves Waimate to join his brother James (Jimmy D) in Aussie. He has played his cricket for Waimate for his whole life from Primary School JAB to his current rank as a first choice senior player.

James DevlinMy first involvement with Dev was when he was a precocious third former who couldn’t sit still but had that Devlin spirit of never lying down as he spent seemingly his whole life trying to beat older brother James (Jimmy) in any sport they played from the backyard cricket tests at home to touch and on field rugby.

Those that know Matt will know that schoolwork was never high on the agenda (although certain female teachers did gain favour), but if he could work out an angle to do something better in the sporting field, then he would give it a try. I remember being frustrated in the nets when trying to teach the kids to play straight and “through the V” when all he wanted to do was practice reverse sweeps or shots that he had seen Nathan Astle play in a one day game.

It is this determination that has been the hallmark of his contributions to Waimate cricket to date, as he has had to change through injury from a fiery left-arm quick to a wily left-arm spinner who is always keen to give the ball flight but can give it a ‘tweak’ when conditions suit. Many of us have seen him put his shoulder out before changing to spin, once when appealing as he threw his arms in the air, but although his efforts at the bowling crease have never waivered, it has been his batting which has improved the most in my time.

He capped off his school career with a century, a feat not many Waimate boys can boast, while since joining senior ranks he has managed at least one half century a season with 74 not out in 2006, 74 (out) in 2007 and 52 in 2008. You can read his stats and figures up until 2007 here and in due course these will be fully listed.

I wish Matt all the best on behalf of the club and hope that he keeps in contact with everyone whether by reading about our matches or via facebook, and to make sure whenever he is home visiting his Mum or Dad he brings his whites!

Waimate beat Geraldine to finish 3rd

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 12:16 pm

With both teams needing victory to have any chance at a final Waimate batted first with Matt Devlin opening in his club swansong before departing for Australia. It wasn’t a great send off and Waimate were soon in deep trouble at 58-5 before Alan Reid with 38 and Jason Sew Hoy 34 added some substance allowing Waimate to post a competitive 183. Tom McKnight had a successful day with the ball for Geraldine taking 3 of the first 4 wickets to fall.

Geraldine’s reply was built around Stephen Pagan’s 53, but unfortunately only Regan Tate with 35 got going and tight bowling, especially by Reuben Allan with 2-6 off six overs and good fielding saw Waimate dismiss Geraldine 16 runs short in another nailbiter. Alan Reid also capped off a good day by taking 2-25 and Matty D picked up one wicket.

Waimate lose @ home to Celts

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 7:30 pm

Waimate lost our second round match against Celtic last weekend to make it one apiece with one round left. Next week we play Geraldine away and must win to stay in contention for a final berth, which may yet be decided on net run rate if the round robin results are even, and with 5 teams in contention there are heaps of possible outcomes, but first we need to WIN!

As for last weekend, Celtic batted first and Craig Davies (100) and Ryan de Joux (79) set the match up for Celtic in a huge opening partnership before Alan Reid was able to put some breaks on taking 4-28. The rest of the Celtic batsmen tried to score quickly without much luck, but still posted a challenging 272.

Waimate started positively and were 68-2 off 15 overs with Naffa and Rafferty both getting into the twenties but unfortunately not going on, while Bob really surprised by not being out lbw and getting into doubly figures, but in the end Waimate was all out in the 33rd over for 150, more than 100 runs short despite Jason ‘Lites’ Sew Hoy with 51 again trying to pull us out of the fire.

Butler Century & Rain Dampen Waimo’s Parade

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 11:27 am

A century to Hayden Butler helped Timaru’s season resurgence as they travelled to and defeated Waimate, and now re-join Waimate, Star and Celtic in a four way tie at the top of the table with two rounds left in the Daily Freightways One Day competition.

It seemed that everything went Timaru’s way after Waimate won the toss and asked them to bat first at Knottingley Park. After losing two wickets for 26 Waimate then dropped Hayden Butler twice before he scored, crucial mistakes in the context of the game as he went on to make his first senior century by scoring 107. He had good help adding 76 in partnership with Zane Sanders and 72 with Hayden Leonard as Timaru scored 207-7 from their overs.

When rain fell between innings, Timaru’s good fortunes continued as they got to bowl on a freshened pitch and soon made the most of it to have Waimate reeling at 33-5 before Craig Booth and Jason Sew Hoy began the fightback with a 50 run partnership.

However, when Booth was run out, Sew Hoy could not complete the fairytale of previous weeks and although Matt Devlin certainly tried with a cameo innings of 47 not out, Waimate were too far behind the required run rate to threaten Timaru’s score and finished 174-9 off their 45 overs.

Waimate Win in Feature Game

Filed under: General News,Senior — admin @ 11:03 am

In the feature club game at Aorangi Oval in the latest round of the Daily Freightways One Day Competition, Waimate managed to chase down the target set by Star with two balls to spare and retain their position at the top of the table despite losing two overs because of a slow over rate.

Waimate won the toss and asked Star to bat and after an early breakthrough, the Star batsmen with the backbone provided by Captain Phil McGregor with a patient 50 began to build solid partnerships. Paul Arkinstall scored 48 before holing out trying to loft the ball into the wind as they added 66 runs for the second wicket. Chris Anders helped add another 61 in the next partnership, before the innings faltered somewhat. At 180-8 the score was looking a bit light on the Aorangi pitch, but Julian Blanchard then played a cameo innings of 25 including two huge sixes to help set Waimate a target of 210 for victory.

In reply Waimate was soon in trouble at 20-3 with Chris Hyde making the most of his chances in senior ranks as he bowled through to take 2-26.

However, Craig Booth with 30 and Hayden Matthews put their heads down as they got things back on track adding 65 runs. Rafferty Fox gained a quick but largely unproductive promotion after Jason Sewhoy went missing in the toilet, and with the score on 100 Waimate still needed a further 110 runs off 90 balls.

Jason Sew Hoy displaying that 'Mo'Matthews and Sewhoy added 45 in good time before Matthews was out for 46 trying to feed Sewhoy the strike. Matt Devlin joined Sewhoy and continued in the same role as Star set the field far and wide to try and restrict Waimate to less than the 9 an over required.

In the end it wasn’t the fielders who needed to worry, rather the neighbouring houses as Sewhoy launched his assault. Blanchard took a great catch only to realize he was over the boundary and that was the closest to a chance Sewhoy gave on his way to 72 not out off only 50 balls to see Waimate to victory.

Waimate gain revenge for two day loss

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 3:02 pm

Waimate continued their one day dominance over Temuka, travelling away and winning by 103 runs as both Jason and Nathan Sew Hoy had great innings with the bat, while Al Reid found form of old with runs and wickets.

Waimate and Celtic now move to first equal in the one-day competition and will make their combined team for next weekend’s Twenty/20 tournament an early favourite, although the return of rep players to the Temuka/Geraldine and Timaru/Star composite teams will certainly have something to say about that.

Temuka won the toss and asked Waimate to bat, but after an early breakthrough had to watch as Alan Reid (40) and Nathan Sew Hoy (70) put together a solid partnership.

A typical Waimate batting collapse saw most of the middle order come and go quickly and Temuka back into the game before Jason Sew Hoy, growing in confidence as the season continues, scored another powerful 87 before being run out. With the support of Matt Devlin (32), he had helped Waimate post an impressive 274-8 from 45 overs.

The Temuka bowlers all took some stick but Dillon Lees (3-53) and Taj Bullivant (2-41) were the most successful.

In reply, Michael Geddes with a half century and Willie Stone (26) got Temuka off to a good start in their chase, and although Ritchie Preston, Hayden Broker and Lees got into double figures, Waimate were not going to let this one get away easily. Reuben Allan was miserly with the ball, taking 3-29, but it was Alan Reid who opened up Temuka by dismissing the first three batsmen and Temuka were eventually all out in the 34th over for 173.

Jason ‘Smashes it’ as Waimate upset Celtic

Filed under: Senior — admin @ 12:36 pm

Jason SewHoyWaimate produced a major upset when Jason SewHoy batting at No 8 produced a powerful display of clean hitting of the ball in an unbeaten 76 to see Waimate through to 217-9 to win the match.

The Celtic versus Waimate match doubled as a trial game for the Twenty/20 competition to be played at the Aorangi Bowl on December 20th when these two teams combine to make up one of the 4 teams for the $1000 tournament.

Celtic won the toss and even though they were minus a number of players on representative duty still fielded a strong team. They lost an early wicket before Ryan DeJoux and Mark Tutton (27) added 115 for the 2nd wicket with DeJoux showing class of old as he battered the bowling to all parts of the ground before playing a lazy shot in site of his ‘ton’ and was out for 94 (10 x 4, 4 x 6), but looked to have done enough to set Celtic up for a massive total after getting to 190 for the loss of only 4 wickets.

Waimate toiled away with Allan Reid only conceding 27 runs from his 9 overs but it was the introduction of Matt Devlin’s left-arm spin and the medium pace of Reuben Allan that changed the shape of the match. Devlin took the prized wickets of the DeJoux’s (Pisshead and Blockhead) and then Reuben (smarting from last weeks comments about facial hair) ’mowed’ them over taking 5-39 in a great spell that saw Celtic’s last five wickets fall for only 18 runs as they failed to bat out their 45 overs, thus undoing much of Ryan DeJoux’s good work.

Reuben AllanIn reply Waimate were soon in trouble with their re-jigged batting order that included Chucky being promoted to opener, and after Sam Carlaw took a brilliant diving catch to dismiss Hayden Matthews for 12 were precariously placed at 55-5 and it looked like it may be early drinks all round, but Waimate again showed they can fight when the chips are down and this time it was Reuben Allan with 43 leading the way as he put partnerships of 45 with Al Reid and 30 with Jason SewHoy together before Ryan DeJoux took a screamer at square leg to dismiss him in sight of his fifty.

As Jason’s confidence grew so did the strength of the shots, and although he lost a partner quickly his scoring rate suddenly gave Waimate hope as they began regularly scoring 8 and more an over. Alongside Sam Devlin (17) “Lites” saw the score through to 165 before Sam was out trying to put another ball over the trees. Lites was joined by No 11 Richard Ford (also known as ‘Frodo’ and hopefully not ‘Mato” on this occasion) and together they continued the fight.

Jason launching into another deliveryBy now the spectators and their cars were under threat as Lites brought up his first senior fifty with one of his 6 sixes. He also hit 5 fours.

As the pressure went on, the bowlers were found wanting, helping the cause by conceding 40 extras, and were unable to stop Lites keeping the strike as he and Frodo picked up a single near the end of each over. Frodo survived a good over from Grant Watt, before Lites with a flurry of sixes including one that left the ground, crossed Rockdale Rd and landed in the far paddock and was reckoned by one umpire to be the biggest he has ever seen; saw Waimate through to 217-9 and victory with 4 overs to spare. The significance of Lite’s and Frodo’s last wicket partnership was that they added 52 runs between them and Frodo finished 0 not out.
