Lakes Entrance has moved to second on the Bairnsdale Cricket Association ladder after defeating West Bairnsdale in round-five action at the Bairnsdale City Oval.<\/p>\n
Play was halted at about 6.20pm last Saturday with West Bairnsdale at 7\/111 in reply to the Seagulls\u2019 8\/201 from their 40 overs.<\/p>\n
With just over 10 overs remaining, Lakes Entrance claimed victory via the Duckworth-Lewis method, as West Bairnsdale sat well behind the required target of 163 at that stage.<\/p>\n
West skipper Brodie Anderson won the toss and sent the visitors in. The Seagulls posted one of the higher scores recorded at City Oval in recent times, despite a slow outfield, keeping the scoreboard ticking at five runs per over.<\/p>\n
Most batsmen made a start, with English import Reece Gray top-scoring with a well-compiled 58 from 86 balls. Jake Le Maitre (36), Will Davidson (28), Scott Tite (20), Ryan Hooper (17) and Ben John (15) all made valuable contributions.<\/p>\n
Former skipper Ryan Halford was the pick of the West bowlers, taking 3\/29, while Oscar Clarke finished with 2\/21.<\/p>\n
In reply, West Bairnsdale was on the required run rate at 3\/60 in the 12th over after Ryan Halford (16) fell to a great catch from Laurie Thomson off the bowling of Scott Davidson. Halford had added 37 runs with Atley Williams (23) in just five overs.<\/p>\n
Williams was bowled by Liam Clorley shortly after as wickets tumbled. Brodie Anderson (23 from 46) and Patrick Halford (12 from 14) were at the crease when play was stopped.<\/p>\n
Gray capped off a strong all-round performance by claiming 2\/16 from seven overs with the ball.<\/p>\n
