Indoor Update

Happy 2016 all!

All three indoor teams have been in action since the New Year.

Last week the C team put in a solid performance against Old Gaynes, but it wasn’t enough to get the 12 points. Charlie Puncher smashed 51 of Rainham’s competitive 80, and Jamie Eacott bowled a very tight spell of 1-1, but Old Gaynes made the target of 81.

The A team followed up against Dagenham and conceded a formidable 110-2. Only Sid Patel was able to take a wicket and every bowler went for 7+. Staring down the barrel of defeat, Jas led off with C team hero Charlie Puncher and both made quick retirements to put Rainham in a great position. Skipper then tucked in with an unbeaten 29 to guide Rainham to a great run-chase victory.

Yesterday the B-team were in action against a strong-looking Hornchurch, who batted first and made 87. Abdul was the pick of the bowlers with 1-12 from his allotment. Jas stepped in and continued his good form with the bat with 32 but it was not enough with no other players making double-figures as Rainham fell short of the target by 33.

A-team beat Seven Kings with huge run chase

The Indoor A-team turned in a fine batting performance to chase down 108 and beat a very good Seven Kings outfit.

With captain Jas Hothi tied to a lamppost in one of Prague’s numerous seedy alleyways, Skipper stepped into the breach and won the toss, putting Seven Kings in. Wickets were shared around, with Tyler, Abdal, and Skipper taking one each and a couple of run-outs, but the tide of runs wasn’t stemmed as Kings reached 3 figures.

Sid (43 not out) made his usual positive start and with Sully (45) also contributing a big score, Rainham were able to chase down the imposing target with 2 balls to spare for a brilliant run chase.

Indoor Results

Tom Herbert led out Rainham B against East Ham, who put up a very good score of 93. Tyler picked up 2 wickets and Abdal and Warren took one apiece.

Despite some heroics with the bat from Abdal with 22, Tom’s side were restricted to just 50 in response. Warren and Tyler were the only others to get into double figures.

Rainham C were also in action and put up a competitive 73 batting first. Captain Nick Thwaites proved his indoor credentials, scoring 27 unbeaten, and Ben Little chipped in with an accomplished 14.

In reply Seven Kings didn’t hang about, smashing the runs in 7 overs including 25 in one particular over from Warren Courtney. Daniel Courtney saved the family’s reputation with a tight couple of overs.
