‘We let ’em out of jail’, growled skipper Justin Gurney after the game. Even though a dogged partnership between Varker (50) and Threllfal (18) pulled the visitors back into the game, the dismissal of both men, to Paul Irons (1-40) and Sean Kricker (1-26) respectively, meant that with just over half the overs gone, Hollybush were teetering on the brink at 104-5. That Bush ended up setting any kind of target was due to a magnificent innings of 69 from skipper, Pete Grzonka. He rode his luck, Irons grassing one skied catching opportunity, but nine 4s and two 6s tell their own story. He was eventually caught behind to give Hill (3-22) his third wicket, but his departure didn’t end the agony for Kricker played well for 10 until he was worked over by Bush’s four-wicket pace-man, Jooste, and bowled; Hill got his bat tangled up in his pads and dollied a catch to cover; Aff Naseem looked gritty and stylish but eventually succumbed for 14; Paul Irons, upon whose shoulders much expectation rested, fell for 0 (to the undisguised delight of the Bushmen); skipper Gurney made 10 before getting a shooter from Jooste; Gary Malcolm drove a glorious boundary through the covers off Jooste but couldn’t repeat the trick; and Richard Jones remained unbeaten on 10 at the end – his 7th ‘not out’ in ten innings this season. So a convincing win for Bush: two wins out of two for them since this fixture began last year. Man of the Match: Rob Tidey
