Odiham Bulley-ed

A tremendous batting performance by Sam Bulley guided Oakley to victory over spirited Odiham last night. Oakley got off to a poor start in the field with some misfields and off line bowling, but tightened up with some accurate bowling by Worthington, Lethaby, Clark and Grey and a devastating three wicket spell of slower bowling by Bambridge, who recovered well after an expensive first over. Oakley did ever so well as a team in keeping Odiham to 102.

Oakley chased the total with a controlled batting display to keep the run rate going, with Sam Bulley and Jack Bambridge totally in control until Jack comitted suicide with a daft reverse sweep that saw him clean bowled. Worthington joined Bulley at the crease and normal service was resumed with some fine running between the wickets with Sam retiring with an excellent 32. Oakley then lost the wickets of Worthington (13) and Lethaby (0) but Alex Blackall and Matt Vickers calmly saw Oakley home to a deseved win.
