Brentwood Victorians - 54-1 Report by Mick Pinkney After the snow of the previous week, the Victorians attempted to belatedly start their season with a trip to Navestock. Skipper Ash Patel won the toss and elected to bat on a damp wicket. Openers Shane Surujbally and Des Alford were determined to see some reward for their endeavours in winter nets but Alford played a rash shot and was comfortably caught. Alford unfortunately registered the first Victorian duck of the season. Surujbally was joined by Richard Walford and the pair added a 50 partnership. With the pair looking comfortable the rain started to fall and the game was abandoned after only 14 overs. Surujbally finishing 26 not out and Walford 19 not out. Next week the Victorians travel to Stock.
Stock - 190 all out Report by Ash Patel Captain Coote discovered that he can win the toss occasionally and had no hesitation in inserting the opposition on a wet top. Balroop removed both openers in a hostile opening spell. Cory and Cockley rebuilt the Stock innings and when they were out Cole and Westwood added quick runs in the middle order. A large total loomed but the introduction of pensioner MacIntyre bowling his leg breaks reined in Stock's lower order and figures of 4-26 belied his years. A total of 190 off the allotted 40 overs was a decent score on a wet wicket and meant that one of the Vics top order must score a decent score. Surujbally in his own style set about the Stock opening attack whilst Patel took up the Chris Tavere roll in a partnership of 127 before Patel departed with a stodgy, boring, 27. Surujbally missed his opening partner and he too joined him in the pavilion for a fine 98. McIntyre came and went leaving O'Brian with a nose bleed batting at 4 to support Balroop who finished off the innings with 47 not out off just 33 balls. The game will be remembered for a dropped catch by Coote off Trout and O'Brien going for 22 in his 1st over and Balroop hitting a huge, straight six to win the game in the 32nd over.
Brentwood Victorians - 178-9 Report by Shane Surujbally Brentwood Victorians won the toss and decided to bat. It was the worse possible start by loosing Richard Stroud for 5. Debutant Ben Sach followed shortly for a duck. This brought Shane Surujbally to the crease who showed some resistant with a chanceless 50. Surujbally fell shortly after. The Victorians ended there innings with 178- 9 in their 40 overs. The Silver Titans started there run chase and found themselves in trouble with Joff Fernhead claiming the first wicket. The Titans began to build a solid partnership, until Surujbally clamed a direct hit from the boundary. The Titans composed themselves to go on and win the match by 5 wickets. Joff Fernhead ended up with (2-38), Chris Jolly (1-40), Dave Balroop (1-25).
Horndon-on-the-Hill - 214-4 Report by Mick Pinkney The Victorians welcomed a strong, young, Horndon side to the OCG. Skipper Trevor Coote won the toss and elected to field. Opening bowlers Dave Balroop and Richard Stroud began brightly extracting prodigious swing and movement off the seam as they each accounted for the Horndon openers. The Victorians appeared in control with Horndon scoring only 64 runs off the first 20 overs. Bob O'Brien struck in his 2nd over having Ginsburgh comfortably caught at mid off by Mick Pinkney. This bought Horndon skipper D Joyce to the crease, and together with Ryan Plom, Horndon changed gear and started to attack the often wayward Victorians bowling. Half chances were not taken as the pair enjoyed a 164 run partnership. Joyce was out for 83 with Plom finishing just short of a deserved century on 93 not out. In reply, openers Shane Surujbally and Mac McIntyre started well against a strong Horndon attack. Surujbally looked to be continuing his excellent early season form. The partnership was broken when McIntyre was adjudged LBW with the score on 60. Surujbally was next out bowled by Knowles for 40. Wickets continued to fall regularly with the Victorians struggling to 95-5 in the 26th over. Skipper Coote was joined by the veteran Stroud and the pair seemed to decide that the target was beyond them as they begun to occupy the crease. They added 45 for the 6th wicket before Stroud was out in the last over. The Victorians were outplayed in all departments by Horndon who thoroughly deserved their comprehensive victory. Next week the Victorians travel to Herongate and will be looking to improve on this performance.

The excitement mounts
Herongate and Ingrave - 221-6 Report by Mick Pinkney The Victorians travelled to the newly formed Herongate and Ingrave Cricket Club with the temperatures hitting 26 degrees expecting a competitive game. Skipper Trevor Coote lost the toss and the Victorians were in the field. The opening bowlers, Richard Stroud and debutant Dave Barbone, started well and restricted the Herongate opening batsmen, Hemmings and Palmer, to only 34 off the first 10 overs. Joff Fernhead was introduced into the attack but saw his 2nd over go for 22 runs. Greg Holmes, also making his debut, bowled a good line and length with his leg spin and restricted the Herongate run rate. He was to finish with 2 for 39 off his 7 overs. Bob O'Brien bowled well in his first 5 overs but went for a season high 28 off his 6th over as the dangerous Manesh Luthra took a liking to O'Brien's flight. Hemmings carried his bat for an unbeaten 67 as the Herongate innings finished on 221. Barbone 26-1, Stroud 16-0, Holmes, and Fernhead 43-1, should be proud of their tight bowling which restricted Herongate to a below par score. The Herongate total would have been less than 200 had the Victorian fielders held their chances. The Victorians, with contributions from Shane Surujbally 28, Mick Pinkney 28, Des Alford 25, and Coote, with a jug avoiding 49, established the platform for what should have been a winning position. Stroud and Fernhead added 38 for the 8th wicket as Fernhead was run out in the last over with the Victorians still needing 2 runs off the last 4 balls. Barbone could only manage a single off the last ball as the game was tied. This was an excellent game of sporting, social, Sunday cricket. The evergreen Stroud was man of the match with his economical bowling and a near match winning 26 not out. Next week the Victorians travel to Hertford.
Hertford - 213-7 Report by Shane Surujbally Hertford had the advantage of there home turf. The Victorians were up for the task by restricting Hertford to 213- 7. The pick of the bowlers was Joff Fernhead (4-41) accompanied by Richard Stroud (2-56) and Rob Benton (1-21). Brentwood made the worse possible start by Des Alford snicking one behind for a duck. The Vic's soon picked things up and were on course for a win with Ash Patel passing his 50, he soon fell and the Vic's were in trouble. The Vic's were bowled out for 127.
Upminster - 122 all out Report by Shane Surujbally Upminster won the toss and decided to bat. It started of bad for them as their opening batsman fell to a brilliant catch from Shane Surujbally. It was tight bowling from The Vic's, with Ben Holmes (3-40), Richard Stroud (2-9), Bob O'Brien (2-17) and Greg Holmes (2-4). Upminster were bowled out for 122. The Vic's new it was going to be a hard task because the outfield and pitch was still wet. It couldn't have started of any worse with David Smith out with the second ball of the innings. Soon The Vic's found themselves 12 for 3. This brought Shane Surujbally to join Greg Holmes at the crease. The two of them restored the damage that was done by Upminster and went on to win the game with loosing no more wickets. G, Holmes ended with a fine 52 not out and Surujbally 58 not out.
Brentwood Victorians - 200-9 Report by Trevor Coote On a fine afternoon in the middle of the summer, the Victorians turned up to play a much strengthened South Weald side. For once Captain Coote won the toss and decided to bat; a decision he was later to admit was an error. The opening partnership of O'Brien and Alford hardly threatened the opening bowlers as they waved their bats around like conductors of a band. It took 4 overs before Warne decided to bowl a straight delivery and that was the end of O'Brien. Unfortunately, the sweepstake of who would be out first was not won as they lasted longer than anyone had thought. Warne's swing bowling proved difficult to play, with all the Brentwood early batsmen struggling. Warne and his opening bowling partner reduced the Vics to 17-3, and after ten overs it was left to Greg Holmes and Captain Coote (having a rare bat in the early order) to repair the damage. It was like watching the tortoise and the hare in the running as Holmes was exceptionally quick, and Coote more sedate. A comical moment occurred as Holmes smashed one through the offside for what would have been an easy three. Coote slipped over, while turning for the second and shouted "IN". No further threes were attempted on captain's orders. The partnership flourished and the Vics progressed steadily until the drinks break when, after the break, boundaries started to flow. Coote was out for 58, caught off a dubiously high full toss, as the umpire Alford made a play for 'Trig of the year'. Some lusty blows from the lower order got the Vics to 200 at the end of their forty overs. Holmes missed out on his deserved fifty, falling just one short. After tea, South Weald set about the Brentwood bowling. In all the years I have played for the Vics I have never seen such an array of buffet bowling, as both opening batsmen tucked in with great gusto. The economy rate was appalling as the Weald finished the game in just 23 overs.
Brentwood Victorians - 250-6 Report by Mick Pinkney The Victorians welcomed Woodham Mortimer to the OCG on a bright, but breezy, day keen to put in a good performance. Skipper Coote lost the toss and the Victorians were, perhaps surprisingly, inserted. Payne made an early breakthrough having McIntyre caught with the score on 4. Ash Patel joined Des Alford and the pair added 31 for the 2nd wicket. Mick Pinkney and Patel then enjoyed some wayward bowling as they formed a 100 partnership. It was touch and go who would be first to 50, a race only just won by Pinkney. Patel was caught as he tried to increase the scoring rate. Richard Walford strode to the crease looking for some time at the crease following his elevation back into the Saturday 1's. 2 balls later he was striding back to the pavilion after a 2nd ball duck. Greg Holmes scored a quick 14 which allowed Paul Degg to join Pinkney. Degg and Pinkney added 53 for the 6th wicket before Pinkney was out for 79. Degg dominated the partnership and went on to score 51 not out in 26 balls. Skipper Coote made the unusual decision to declare in a 40 over match after 38 overs with the score on 250. Chris Jolly and Pinkney opened the bowling and restricted Woodham Mortimer to 24 off the first 8 overs in reply. Joff Fernhead replaced Pinkney and immediately bowled the opposition skipper Fannon. Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals with only opener A Brown showing any aptitude to score runs. Brown was eventually caught by Fernhead off the bowling of McIntyre for 51. Greg Holmes bowled well 3 -16 off 6 overs as Woodham Mortimer fell well behind the required run rate. McIntyre was to finish with 4 wickets for only 9 runs as Woodham Mortimer were bowled out for only 128 runs. This was a comprehensive win for the Victorians. Next week they travel to Theydon Bois.
Theydon Bois - 296-7 Report by Mick Pinkney The Victorians travelled to Theydon Bois expecting a competitive game and were asked to bowl on what proved to be an excellent batting track. Chris Jolly opened the bowling and struck with his 2nd ball having opener Hardy caught behind by Des Alford for a duck. This, unfortunately, brought Theydon skipper Malnoch to the crease and he unleashed some immaculate strokeplay as he powered his way to his maiden century. He was given excellent support by Hyde (71) as the pair added 162 for the 2nd wicket. Malnoch was eventually out for 111 thanks to a stunning one handed catch by Greg Holmes off the bowling of Dan O'Shaunessey Chris Jolly returned to take a further 3 wickets as Theydon Bois innings came to a close with the score 296-7. Jolly finished with figures of 4-32. The Victorians were determined to be aggressive in reply and openers Shane Surujbally and Ash Patel added 31 in 5 overs before Patel played on. Surujbally fell 2 overs later which allowed Greg Holmes to join his brother Ben. The Holmes brothers added 68 for the 3rd wicket before Greg was bowled for 25. Ben went on to make an excellent 59. Mick Pinkney, Trevor Coote, Des Alford and Bob O'Brien all made double figures but the Victorians found the target too steep and were bowled out for 230 in the 37th over.
Brentwood Victorians - 266-2 Report by Mick Pinkney As the teams arrived at the OCG it was unclear whether any cricket would be played, but the rain stopped long enough for skipper Trevor Coote to leave the bar and win the toss. A later than normal start meant a revised 35 over game. Openers Greg Holmes and James Welham enjoyed the friendly Warley opening attack as they set the tone for the innings by adding 75 for the first wicket. Holmes played a loose shot and was caught for a lively 36. Welham was joined by Shane Surujbally and the pair began to totally dominate the Warley bowling. Surujbally was in the unusual role of acting as support to the fine strokeplay of 14 year old colt Welham, Welham went on to record his maiden century in senior cricket off only 75 balls. Once Welham had posted his century, Surujbally began to accelerate as he chased a century of his own. He was eventually caught at deep square leg for an excellent 81. As the rain began to fall, Coote declared at the end of the 32nd over. Welham returned to the pavilion 122 not out. After an extended tea, the rain stopped and Warley began their reply. The Victorian bowlers struggled as the ball began to resemble a bar of soap. Needing over 7 runs an over the Warley openers batted aggressively and when the first wicket fell at 68 they were up with the run rate. Richard Stroud made the breakthrough bowling Huxtable. The loss of the wicket did not slow the Warley assault and it began to look like Coote's early declaration was perhaps a little generous. Welham, after his superb batting, then bowled 3 overs for only 9 runs and as the pressure began to increase Warley started to lose wickets. Stroud came back to finish with 4 wickets as the Warley innings came to close 43 runs short.
Brentwood Victorians - 247-8 Report by Mick Pinkney Following the tied game at Herongate, the Victorians expected a competitive game as they welcomed Herongate to the OCG for the return fixture. Skipper Trevor Coote won the toss and the chose to bat. What followed was a Napier like performance by Paul Degg. Degg, and fellow opener Ben Holmes, added 86 for the first wicket in only 8 overs. Holmes contribution was 9. Degg's 50 came off only 19 balls, He was out for 77 which included 5 sixes, one of which cleared the pavilion and landed in the Tennis Club. Unsurprisingly, the scoring rate slowed following Degg's departure. Ben Holmes was out for 29. Ash Patel made a solid 50 and Greg Holmes finished 50 not out as the Victorians innings closed on 247. Herongate needed over 6 an over and started brightly. The opening partnership was broken when Hemmings was run out by Mick Pinkney following a sharp turn and throw by Des Alford. G Palmer joined Browne and the pair added 72 for the 2nd wicket. Browne was caught at gully giving Joff Fernhead the first of his 2 wickets. Brentwood's own Mr Angry, Ben Holmes, bowled Palmer just after he had completed his half century. Herongate were still up with the run rate but a short spell from Degg, 2 overs for 1 run, increased the pressure and Herongate started to lose wickets, Greg Holmes was the beneficiary has he took 3 wickets for 14 runs with his flighty leg spin. The innings came to a close when Herongate batsman Hindley had to retire hurt. The game will be remembered for Degg's dynamic batting. He surely has the Riley Wallop in the bag for another year.
Brentwood Victorians - 216-4 Report by Ash Patel Brentwood won the toss and batted first in a 40 over match against Wickford. Alford (9) and Surujbally (56) and Greg Holmes (69*) opened the Vics innings cautiously due to the low bounce and slowish wicket and found scoring difficult and were going at just over 3 per over for the first 20 overs. The orange squash at 20 overs seemed to have refreshed both Surujbally and Holmes who started the final 20 in a positive fashion. The score started racing along a 6 or 7 an over. Surujbally was out in the 25th over with the score on 106 and the out of form Macintyre followed quickly for a duck. Jamie Dawes (32*) who earlier in the morning scored 77* for the under 15's joined Holmes and maintained the scoring rate to leave Brentwood with a respectable total of 216-4. The Vics started with fast bowlers Sam Dawes and Deggy but despite an early wicket for Deggy it was evident that pace had to be taken off the ball as Wickford were scoring at 7 an over. Shah (124) who scored 96 for Wickford 2nds on Saturday was in good form and hit some powerful boundaries, particularly on the leg side. Ian Dawes, Jof Fernhead and Mac did put on the brakes somewhat and picked up wickets along the way but Shah was still there despite surviving a very confident lbw shout. With 5 an over required off the last 20 and Vics struggling to check the aggression of Shah, Wickford won this game with 10 balls spare.
Brentwood Victorians - 244-7 declared Report by Mick Pinkney Little Baddow arrived at a hot and humid OCG for the first time in 8 years and their skipper managed to confuse stand in tosser Ash Patel into agreeing a timed game with the playing conditions far from clear. Skipper Trevor Coote eventually arrived and used his famous diplomacy skills to negotiate an agreed format. At least Patel managed to call correctly and, to the relief of the Victorians, chose to bat. An out of form Mac McIntyre opened with Paul Degg determined to put his run of low scores behind him as he took 12 runs off the first over. Degg joined in the fun adding 32 as the pair added 52 for the first wicket when Degg was out in the 6th over. Ross Cant joined McIntyre and the pair looked in total command as they added 84. McIntyre made his first 50 of the season as he was out off a tired stroke for 56. This was a commanding return to form for McIntyre whose hard work in the nets paid off in some style. Coote then stunned the watching crowd as he called, and ran, a quick single. Normal service was resumed next over as an easy 2 was turned down in favour of a comfortable single. Cant was out for 50 as wickets began to fall. Greg Holmes continued his great season as he and Joff Fernhead, 23 not out, helped the Victorians to a competitive total. Holmes was the victim of this seasons 'Pinkney' declaration as Coote declared leaving Holmes agonisingly 45 not out. Chris Jolly and Holmes opened the bowling and the Little Baddow openers initially were untroubled before Holmes made the breakthrough catching Vickery off his own bowling. Mick Pinkney replaced Jolly and had immediate success when Crumpton was caught by Degg at cow corner. Pinkney was to finish with 3 wickets, Holmes with 2, as Little Baddow began to fall behind the run rate. McIntyre replaced Pinkney and also took 3 wickets. His last wicket giving Pinkney his third catch. As the game reached the final over, the Victorians needed 2 wickets to achieve an unlikely victory. Coote chose Degg to bowl the last over and he bowled Sharman with his 2nd ball. A nervous Little Baddow number 11 came to the crease obviously worried by Degg's pace and as he backed off to leg was bowled off his legs as the Victorians won with 3 balls to spare. This was another sporting game of friendly Sunday cricket and the Victorians look forward to travelling to the picturesque Little Baddow ground for the return fixture later in the season.
Brentwood Victorians - 281-6 declared Report by Mick Pinkney The Victorians welcomed Ardleigh Green to the OCG on a bright autumnal day. Skipper Trevor Coote won the toss and, to the relief of the 7 Victorians who had attended the 'Event in the Tent', elected to bat. Joff Fernhead, who had earlier convinced Coote, with a combination of pleading and sulking, that he was due a bat in the top order, opened the batting with Shane Surujbally and was promptly out 8 balls later for a duck. Andy Taker joined Surujbally and the pair added 55 for the 2nd wicket. Surujbally was out for an aggressive 38. Mac McIntyre and Richard Walford fell cheaply allowing Balroop, now awake, to come to the crease. It was a contrast in style as a watchful Taker and an aggressive Balroop raced to see who would be first to 50. The race was won by Balroop who was finally out in the last over for 71. Taker scored his maiden fifty with possibly the slowest 50 in the Victorians 19 year history. The Victorians innings finished having posted a competitive 181. After a fine tea, Richard Stroud and Peter Bainbridge opened the bowling and restricted Ardleigh Green to just 15 off the first 6 overs. Bainbridge was replaced by Mick Pinkney who began to undo the good work of the opening bowlers by bowling a mix of long hops, wides, leg side deliveries etc. Stroud decided to replicate Pinkney's leg side bowling as his last 3 overs went for 17 runs. Pinkney was finally invited to take a blow after conceding 24 runs off his 4 overs. Pinkney returned to fine leg, where he been placed after a poorly timed comment to skipper Coote at tea. Fernhead and Balroop came on and again began to restrict the run rate. The 1st wicket finally fell in the 27th over with the score on 97. Vic Simmons made a fine 54 before becoming the returning Bainbridge's 1st wicket. Wickets now began to fall regularly as Ardleigh Green struggled to increase their run rate. There was time for Pinkney to put himself forward for the prestigious Comical Fielder Award as he failed to move the 18 inches required to comfortably catch a skier and then managed to drop the dangerous Hurworth who was threatening to take Ardleigh Green to an unlikely victory. Luckily for Pinkney, Hurworth was brilliantly run out by Degg, fielding as 12th man for the injured Fernhead, only 2 balls later. Taker, 39-2, Bainbridge, 20-2, Balroop, 19-1, and Fernhead, 21-1, all combined to ensure a Victorians victory. Next week is the Victorians penultimate game of the season as they host Stock.
Stock - 149-8 Report by Mick Pinkney Brentwood Victorians' opponents, Stock, were so keen to start the game they arrived 90 minutes before the scheduled 1pm start. Stock, assuming a 12pm start, arrived with 10 players. Victorians Captain Trevor Coote did his best to even up the sides, with a combination of not picking a side, and Paul Degg's northern softitis. Henry the Hoover made an unexpected on field appearance before the game as he hoovered up broken glass on the outfield. Stock must have been pleased to have a day off village cricket! As the Victorians took to the field with only 8 players they were expecting the worse. Amazingly, Richard Stroud, 1 wicket, and Andy Taker, 2 wickets, left Stock struggling before the 9th Victorian, Dave Balroop, arrived having managed to beat the A12 traffic. A few overs later James Welham, who had completed his homework to the relief of Mr Taker, arrived which meant both sides had 10 players. Taker was to finish with 3-22 off his 7 overs. All the Victorian bowlers bowled well. Stroud 32 -1, Pinkney 22-0, Welham 44-3 including the dangerous Westwood, and Balroop 23-1. Coote, furnishing his new helmet, opened the reply with Shane Surujbally, and the pair were untroubled as they added 80 for the 1st wicket. Coote was bowled for 26 which included one quick single! Mac McIntyre joined Surujbally and they enjoyed a 53 run partnership. Surujbally was out after an excellent 79. First team batsman Richard Walford finished a nervous 6 not out as the Victorians eased to victory with 3 overs to spare. McIntyre 25 not out. Next week the Victorians welcome South Weald to the OCG for the last game of the 2008 season.
Brentwood Victorians - 237-5 Report by Mick Pinkney Brentwood Victorians welcomed South Weald to the OCG for their traditional end of season fixture. Skipper Trevor Coote won the toss and chose to bat on another bright warm autumnal day. Ash Patel opened with Des Alford. Patel needed 18 runs to win a sizeable pre season wager and made them comfortably before being bowled for 26, Alford had earlier fallen cheaply. An out of sorts Paul Degg fell for 11 which allowed Dave Balroop to join Richard Walford. The pair added 82 for the 4th wicket, Walford falling for 41. Could this be the innings which secures Walford another Victorian contract next year? Shane Surujbally and Balroop increased the scoring rate and added 92 for the 5th wicket. Balroop was 10 runs short of a deserved century. Surujbally 43 not out as the Victorians posted a very competitive 237. Skipper Coote took to the field wearing a high vis jacket, to be passed to any Victorian guilty of comical fielding. It was fitting that the jacket finished the game with Coote as he dropped 2 relatively simple chances at first slip. Mick Pinkney opened the bowling with James Welham and had early success bowling South Weald skipper Andrew Stroud with the score on 9. Michael Davey was next in and should have been Pinkney's 2nd wicket when he became Coote's first drop. Davey went on to score 48 before falling LBW to Balroop. Degg provided some light relief as he did his Steve Harmison bowling his first ball in the Brisbane test impression. Degg obviously wasn't happy with his first attempt so he went on to repeat it a number of times! Adam Chambers was keeping South Weald in the game with his aggressive batting. Welham had his turn in the high vis jacket after dropping Chambers when he had scored 42. Chambers became Balroop's 2nd LBW victim as he was out only 4 runs short of a memorable century. Richard Stroud and Mac McIntyre took wickets as South Weald tried to keep up with the run rate. They were to finish 20 runs short as the Victorians eased to victory. This completed another successful season for the Victorians winning 10 of their 20 games. 1 game was drawn and 1 tied. 6 games were either called off or abandoned due to the weather. Next year will be the Victorians 20th season and a number of events are being planned to celebrate.
