Rogues top the ladder

03 Mar, 2010 12:49 PM
Roxby Rouges travelled down to tackle Woomera on Saturday night with a win cementing the Rogues in top position at the end of the home and away season.

In overcast conditions Woomera won the toss and elected to bat.

Pillar and McArdle opened the batting for Woomera and after surviving an early chance in the slips both openers saw out the Rogues opening bowlers for no loss of wicket.

Platten and Trotta relieved the opening bowlers with Trotta claiming the wicket of McArdle (18) in his second over.

Pillar was removed in Trotta’s third over from a blinding catch from Steer in gully for 18, with Steer coming out on top of the verbal and psychological power play between himself and Pillar since the start of the innings.

Staines was the only other Woomera batsman to make double figures with the final score ending on 92.

Trotta was the pick of the Rogues bowlers ending with three wickets. Platten, Allen and Hayball all ended up with two wickets each.

Trotta and Hayball went in to bat for Rogues with the game plan of getting the runs quickly before the rain that had threatened all day arrived.

Trotta pushed the run rate and after the third over the score was on 14.

Blackie had Hayball trapped LBW for two in the fourth over.

At this stage the rain that had threatened all day broke and play was called off at the end of the fourth over. Rogues ended up with 17 runs, Trotta ended with 12 not out.
