Raza's rampage in honour of Joyce

We honoured dear departed Joyce Lafbery before the start of the game and for a long stretch this was the only memorable moment as the Ells staggered to 38-6 in 23 overs. What happened next would have brought an approving smile from Joyce as Danny Hammond and M T Raza, both in good knick at the moment, took control. However, this did not prepare us for the last few overs carnage as MT let rip with some brutal hitting. I may be wrong but I wonder if this is a Saturday best for him. Bellars also weighed in with a dazzling 25. The visitors never really got going, although Craig Smithurst (who always does well against us) followed up his 2-13 off 12 overs with a 50. The "old pros" bowled well - Bellars and Eddie George (first real bowl of the season - and then MT rounded off his great day with 4 victims. Good to be back on track after 2 losses. Joyce would have approved.
