Sharks leave MDU shellshocked

A Grade, Division 2

MDU hit Kilcunda-Bass hard when it made an impressive total of 8/311, but Kilcunda-Bass came back swinging.

The epic performance from the Sharks started with opening batsman Cameron Davidson making 45 runs.

Batting fourth and fifth in the order, it was the combined effort of captain Matthew Grayson and Ash Larcombe that won Kilcunda-Bass the match.

Grayson made 80 runs before he was dismissed by a catch from Andrew Richardson off the bowling of Sembakuttige Chathura Laksan.

Laksan also dismissed Larcombe LBW, but Larcombe had already contributed 77 runs by the point.

MDU’s only other wicket-taker was Tharindu Nuwan.

Robert Wallace finished it off for Kilcunda-Bass with 38 not out. 

Kilcunda-Bass won the game with a score of 5/316.
