WATSONIANS U15 v SMRH U15

AT MYRESIDE

MAY 23rd 2007

 

WATSONIANS WON BY 5 RUNS

 

SMRH lost out to the home side by just 5 runs in an entertaining season opener at Myreside.

 

All our S3 boys were at Carbisdale so it was very much an under strength side that took the field under Ramsay Muir’s captaincy.

 

Watsonians batted first and opened with their Merchiston school age group internationalists Patrick Baker and Peter Legget.

 

They had taken the score to 31 with few alarms when Baker was outdone by a splendid slower ball from Adeel Raza and was clean bowled.

 

Adeel was in the middle of a great spell of bowling and returned figures of 4‑1‑4-1 which was a fine effort against classy batsmen.

 

The pitch at Myreside is a batsman’s paradise with a quick outfield and short boundaries and it was no surprise to see Watsonians race to 130-2 in their 20 overs.

 

Peter Leggett reached 50 just before the close and was run out to the last ball of the innings, whereas Craig Hamilton hit a much quicker 50 which included nine 4’s. 

 

Ramsay Muir, Ross Grant and Gavin Milne all did their best to stem the flow of runs.

 

Calum Goudie and Ross Grant opened up for SMRH and although Grant went early for 2 with the score at 11 a very fine partnership between Murray Callan and Goudie which realised 42 runs put SMRH back in the game.

 

After a slow start Callan hit an excellent 58 which included nine 4’s and a six and as long as he remained we were never out the game.

 

Having one dart too many Murray was bowled with the score on 97 but Adeel Raza and Stewart Shaw carried on his good work and put on 23 in quick time for the 4th wicket.

 

Stewart hit three 4’s in his bright and breezy 12 including a lovely clip off his legs while Adeel finished not out 23.

 

Watsonians had just done enough with the bat however and we finished 5 runs short on 125-5 when the final ball was bowled.

HADDINGTON U15 v SMRH U15

AT NEILSON PARK

MAY 30th 2007

 

SMRH WON BY 4 WICKETS

 

An amazing over from Ben Docherty played a major part in a 5 wicket win for SMRH.

 

Haddington batted first and got off to a fast start with opener Mann hitting Ramsay Muir’s first 2 balls to the boundary.

 

Ramsay recovered well however and conceded only 12 runs in total in his three overs as well as bowling Mann for 12 in his third over.

 

The Tufail brothers were now at the crease with Ash in particular looking dangerous and at 48-1 the home side looked in a good position.  Ramsay Muir and Rory Cannon are good bowlers but this season we have an excellent all round attack with Iain Mackie, Alex Dry, Ben Docherty and Andrew Warnock to back up Ramsay.

 

Iain Mackie removed R Tufail well caught behind by TJ Beattie and Calum Goudie took a catch at mid off to remove Ash Tufail off Andrew Warnock’s leg spin.  Haddington were still well set to top 100 when Ben Docherty entered the attack with devastating consequences for the home side.

 

His first two balls were wides but he then proceeded to take 3 wickets in 4 balls to leave the hosts struggling on 76-7. 

 

His first wicket was the most important.  Loretto schoolboy Jonny Perriam was looking in good touch and had just hoisted Andrew Warnock for 6 over mid-wicket when he was beaten by a good ball from Ben and was bowled.

 

Warnock and Docherty each picked up a late wicket and returned figures of 2‑8 and 4-8 respectively.

 

Haddington finished up on 80-9 which was a lot less than had looked likely.

 

Calum Goudie and Murray Callan got SMRH off to a great start and at 35-0 an away win looked a formality.

 

However a dramatic collapse ensued and we lost 4 wickets with the score on 35.  Both openers, Jonathan Thomson and Rory Cannon perished with the scoreboard unmoved.  Callan had hit three 4’s and a 6 in his 25.

 

TJ Beattie and Andrew Warnock were now together and these good pals played very sensibly in doubling the score.

 

At 70-4 everything seemed fine but Warnock was bowled for 14 hitting across the line and TJ was caught off a leading edge having scored 15.

 

The Haddington total was now in reach however and a couple of lusty blows by Ramsay Muir took us home to a 4 wicket victory with 9 balls to spare.

 

Ben Docherty’s over was vital however as I don’t think we would have relished chasing too many more than the Haddington total of 80.

 

A successful run chase was celebrated in Haddington High Street with chips and soft drinks.

 

Many thanks to Dr Beattie and Mr Crawley for their help in transporting the boys down to Haddington.

SMRH U15 v. EDINBURGH C.C. U15

AT INVERLEITH

JUNE 6TH 2007

 

SMRH WON BY 4 RUNS

 

We had been involved in a few close encounters already this season and our latest match against the Edinburgh CC youngsters was no exception.

 

SMRH were asked to bat first and Ross Grant and TJ Beattie got us off to a good start scoring 18 by the end of the fourth over.

 

Ross was first out caught in the gulley, the first of four victims for Edinburgh skipper Bilal and when Jonathan Thomson was bowled off his pads we were now 18-2.

 

Andrew Warnock joined TJ and together they added a valuable 30 for the 3rd wicket.

 

Andrew is a talented cricketer and was to play a few games for the school 1st X1 before the summer end helping the school to victory against Dollar in a very close finish.

 

He will have a further three seasons in the 1st X1 and it will be interesting to see how he progresses as an all rounder with his classy batting and useful “leggies “.

 

TJ has come on leaps and bounds this season and I will be surprised if he doesn’t become an excellent opening bat / wicket-keeper in the near future.

Mr Ranson at the school knows all about Thomas and with some good winter net practice behind him I would hope he will be competing for a place in the 1st X1 at school in 2008.

 

Both were to perish with the score on 48 but Ramsay Muir, Adeel Raza, Stewart Shaw, Alex Dry and Iain Mackie  all contributed with the bat and by the close we had scored a respectable 96.

 

Stewarts Melville schoolboy Mohammad became the 2nd visiting bowler to take 4 wickets and he was to bat sensibly later in the day.

 

Bowling is our strength however and I always feel that a score of around 100 puts us in with a good chance.

 

Ramsay Muir and Adeel Raza opened up and as usual did not let the team down.

 

Muir hardly conceded a run in his spell and had opener Collam caught at point by Adeel for 5.

 

Raza followed up his great bowling at Myreside with 2 more wickets and like Ramsay was most economical.

 

Edinburgh’s 4th wicket pair of Zubair and Saif added 36 in quick time and at 60-3 the came could have gone either way but our sixth bowler Stewart Shaw entered the attack and dismissed both with the first and third balls of his opening over.

 

The visitors chipped away at our total without really threatening to win the game and some good fielding from SMRH resulted in three late run outs.

Tail ender Khalil needed to hit a 4 of the last ball to tie the match but was run out and so a 4 run victory was the margin for the home side.

SMRH U15 v. EDINBURGH ACCIES U15

AT INVERLEITH

JUNE 13TH 2007

 

SMRH WON BY 79 RUNS

 

A very young Accies team were no match for SMRH and a 79 run victory was our third win a row.

 

With few alarms Ramsay Muir and Murray Callan compiled 51 for the first wicket against some tidy bowling and keen fielding.

 

Accies included several U13 players and their attitude was first class. Playing against older guys didn’t seem to be a problem and they never complained.

Most of our batsman spent valuable time in the middle apart from poor TJ who not for the first time in his short career was run out.

 

Josh Blake, Mike Crawley and Jonathan Thomson all batted well and it was good to see both David Ilyine and Yousef Hussain make their debuts for the club.

 

141-3 was a good score and gave home captain Ramsay Muir plenty of scope to manoeuvre his bowlers around.

 

Everyone turned their arms over in the Academy innings and I felt our guys played the game in the correct manner.

 

Iain Mackie bowled Ellis for a duck but Benn and Orr batted superbly and added close to 50 for the 2nd wicket.

 

They have obviously been well coached at school and are batsman with a big future.

 

Most of our guys tried their hand at spin bowling with some success although I’m not sure if Andrew Warnock has many rivals within the club in the slow bowling department.

 

Iain Mackie, Ramsay Muir and Adeel Raza all took wickets and the Accies youngsters ended up on a respectable 62-4.

SMRH U15 v. PENICUIK U15

AT INVERLEITH

JUNE 21st 2007

 

SMRH WON BY 4 WICKETS

 

SMRH produced a very good all round performance to progress to the semi final of the Lothians Cup.

 

Penicuik were asked to bat first after Ramsay Muir had won the toss and opened up with Grant Davidson and Henderson against the bowling of Muir and Ilyine.

 

An early boundary by Grant Davidson looked ominous for the home team  but after Henderson departed caught at mid on by the reliable Ben Docherty, David Ilyine captured the prize wicket of Davidson very well caught by Stewart Shaw to a skyer off a leading edge.

 

Our bowling and fielding was sharp from the off and young Johnny Thomson took a catch similar to Stewart Shaw’s to remove Cammie Crawford for 5.

Penicuik were soon 37-4 when Alex Dry bowled R Liddle for 2.

 

The visitors were now almost totally reliant on Ricky Davidson for a competitive score and although he batted sensibly and for a long time he was never really able to force the pace against some excellent bowling.

 

With the score at 60 Davidson was 5th out bowled by the leg spin of Andrew Warnock who soon after had D Liddle stumped by wicket-keeper Ilyine.

Penicuik’s final total was only 67-6 in 20 overs.

 

All 6 bowlers used did a fine containing job and it was good to see Ross Grant bowl 3 overs for only 7 runs and Stewart Shaw concede only 3 runs from his 2 overs.

 

Both these lads are in the school 1st XV and were shortly to head out to South Africa on a School Development rugby tour.

 

Dry and Grant opened up for SMRH but were both back in the pavilion with 22 on the board.

 

Andrew Warnock joined Jonathan Thomson at the wicket and they went a long way to winning the game with an excellent stand of 20.

 

Both lads ran well between the wickets and always made sure we were up with the scoring rate.

 

A mini mid- innings collapse soon resulted however and when David Ilyine was stumped for a duck we were 52-5.

 

Penicuik spinner Thornton had taken 3 quick wickets and was to add Blake Steven to his victims in finishing with 4-16 from his 4 overs.

 

The visitors though had not scored enough runs and Ramsay Muir and Stewart Shaw saw us to victory with three overs and 4 wickets to spare.

 

This was our best performance of the season and was made even better when taking into account that three of our top players TJ Beattie, Iain Mackie and Adeel Raza were on representative duty in Belfast.

SMRH U15 v. CARLTON U15

AT INVERLEITH

JUNE 27th 2007

 

CARLTON WON BY 11 RUNS

 

SMRH lost out to Carlton by 11 runs in a low scoring encounter at Inverleith.

 

In what was to become a familiar trend our bowling was excellent but our batting less so.

 

Our full strength bowling attack of Muir, Ilyine, Dry, Mackie, Raza and Warnock would compare favourably with any U15 team in the country but too often our batsman didn’t make enough runs.

 

Carlton really struggled against all our bowlers and managed a paltry 64-8 in 20 overs with only U13 players Angus Rive and Zacchi Yusaf reaching double figures.

 

Ramsay Muir bowled superbly and was too quick for the early Carlton batsman. He returned figures of 2-6 in 4 overs and hardly bowled a bad ball.

As in the Penicuik cup match all the bowlers were at the top of their game and Andrew Warnock matched Ramsay’s figures of 2-6 in 4 overs.

 

Andrew is a great guy to have around the team and has the priceless asset of making things happen even when not at his best.

 

We were to sorely miss him later in the summer when holidays became a factor in team selection.

 

Our 2 opening batsman TJ Beattie and James Dickson took to the field as our remaining players organised a barbecue.

 

Seemed a great idea with school finishing 2 days later.

 

Carlton had 3 slow bowlers in their ranks and this was to prove crucial to the result.

 

We were bowled out for only 53 with the main damage being done by Whatley 3-14 and Moynihan 2-9.

 

Both bowled slow off spin and our batsman were found wanting when having to make the pace.

 

TJ Beattie, Jonathan Thomson and David Ilyine were all run out and when Alex Dry was clean bowled by Nick Martin’s first ball SMRH were 43-8.

 

Adeel Raza and Ramsay Muir were our last hope and added 10 before Adeel chipped a catch to mid off.

 

Ramsay top scored with 13 not out but SMRH came up 11 runs short.

HERIOTS U15 v SMRH U15

AT GOLDENACRE

JULY 11th 2007

 

SMRH WON BY 48 RUNS

 

Another excellent bowling effort from SMRH resulted in a resounding 48 run win at a very warm Goldenacre.

 

The wicket at Goldenacre on the main rugby pitch is not the best and our 1st innings total of 83-8 was always going to be hard to beat.

 

Although Josh Blake departed in the 3rd over for 5 with the score on 10, Jonathan Thomson and David Ilyine added 29 for the second wicket which was easily the best partnership of the match.

 

Ilyine’s 18 was the top score in the match and he is what I would describe as a bowling all rounder.

 

He has broken into the school 1st X1 this season and has produced some good spells with the ball coming on late in the innings.

 

Some runs with the bat from David will not go amiss however although he batted very well in  a crisis with Andrew Warnock in a hard fought win over Dollar Academy a few weeks ago.

 

Jonathan Thomson batted very responsibly and on a very difficult wicket refused to give his wicket away cheaply.

 

He is a fine fielder and as a batsman likes the ball coming onto the bat. I will be interested to see how he develops in the next couple of years and hopefully JT will get to bat at the top of the order at school which is his best position.

 

Ramsay Muir, Adeel Raza and Stewart Shaw scored useful runs in the middle order to ensure a good total and the Coleman twins and Jordan Kynoch made sure that we batted our full 20 overs.

 

Addel hit the only 2 two 4’s in our innings but the shot of the day was a towering 6 over wide mid on by Stewart Shaw.

 

Heriots bowled pretty well and Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers with 4-14.

 

In reply Ramsay Muir bowled a superb 1st over to dismiss Acheson first ball and White with the final ball of the over.

 

The wicket of Johny White was crucial and it was great to see Ramsay ripping through his defences to dismiss this prolific run scorer for just 1 run.

 

Heriots never got going and some of the catching by SMRH was first rate. David Ilyine, Adam Tait, Gavin Milne and Adeel Raza all took very good catches.

 

Adeel completed a fine all round game with the superb figures of 4-12 in 4 overs.

 

I was impressed with Adeel’s bowling on every occasion this summer and how we missed him in our last 2 games.

 

He is shortly to go into S3 and will I’m sure become a very good cricketer.

Adam Coleman took a catch behind to give Adam Tait his first wicket for the club and Heriots were bowled out for only 35 in 16.3 overs.

FAULDHOUSE U15 v SMRH U15

AT FAULDHOUSE

AUGUST 1st 2007

 

FAULDHOUSE WON BY 15 RUNS

 

Adeel Raza and Mike Crawley were caught in traffic in Edinburgh and failed to meet up with the rest of the players for the trip to Fauldhouse.

 

This had quite bearing on the match as we lost another low scoring game by 15 runs.

 

Rain early in the day had put the game in doubt but by 6pm the sun was out as Ramsay Muir prepared to bowl the first ball.

 

Fauldhouse adopted a real West Indian approach to batting and threw the bat at almost everything.

 

Their first 4-5 batsman all have loads of attacking potential but as usual our attack was impressive.

 

Ramsay seemed most affected by the damp run ups and was hit for 24 in his three overs but during his short spell dismissed the talented McIlduff and Mahon.

 

David Ilyine shot out 3 of the home team’s batsman in his four over spell and Alex Dry bowled his best spell of the season in taking 2-7 in his three overs.

Another talented all rounder has been unearthed in Alex and with his hard hitting batting to go with his excellent pace bowling he is another young lad who should be aiming to play for the School 1st XI as soon as possible.

 

Fauldhouse were toiling on 56-8 and before long were all out for 58 with the last two wickets falling to the Docherty brothers.

 

Scott cleaned bowled James Mildren for 6 before older brother Ben had Darren Allan caught at slip by Matt Coleman for 2.

 

Even with only 8 players a score of 59 should have been attainable but all season long we have struggled to score runs and this game was no exception.

 

There were no signs of alarm early on mind you as TJ Beattie and Alex Dry made batting look easy as we entered the twenties without loss.

 

Alex played very well and was comfortably top score in the match with 25.

He certainly did not deserve to be on the losing side.

 

Our mid order however struggled to make any impact against some good Fauldhouse bowling although Ramsay Muir was unlucky to be run out by a direct throw from the boundary.

 

Fauldhouse took our 7th wicket with the score on 43 still 15 runs short but unfortunately this meant that we were all out leaving Ben Docherty stranded on 2 not out.

 

Ben has not played much cricket this summer due to a school exchange to Germany but never lets you down when he plays and he has certainly passed on his skills to young Scott who has a great future as an all round sportsman.

 

He was a member of the Stewarts Melville football team who won the Scottish Cup alongside U13 cricketers Bruce Scott and Campbell MacLeod.

I wonder if any of these 3 will one day play for the Hibs?

 

Once again grateful thanks to Mrs Beattie and Vic Coltherd for helping transport the boys out to West Lothian.

SMRH U15 v CARLTON U15

AT INVERLEITH

AUGUST 8th 2007

 

CARLTON WON BY 5 WICKETS

 

Carlton reached the final of the Lothians Cup with a 5 wicket win over SMRH.

 

The winning run however was scored with only 2 balls remaining and our lads fought hard to the end.

 

TJ Beattie opened up with Jack Jones and looked in good touch early with a superb cut to the point boundary.

 

Next ball however he was a touch unlucky to be caught at long leg of a top edge.

 

TJ has not scored as many runs as hoped this season but I am convinced he will score lots of runs in the future and with his wicket-keeping and spin bowling has much to offer.

 

Jack Jones had gone early and when Alex Dry was bowled for 1 we were in trouble at 11-3.

 

Iain Mackie joined skipper Ramsay Muir at the wicket and they fought hard to allow us to post a challenging score.

 

Ramsay is working hard on his batting and played very sensibly with Iain in adding 20 for the 4th wicket before losing his off stump to Yusaf.

 

Another good partnership developed however when Iain Samson playing his first game of the season joined Mackie and they took the score well past 50.

 

Samson did his best to hang around for Iain Mackie and although he scored only 5 the 35 runs added for the 6th wicket were invaluable.

 

All this time Mackie played superbly and he was to finish unbeaten on 42, an innings which contained five 4’s.

 

More known as a bowler this is as well as I have seen Iain bat and I know Mr Ranson has high hopes for him as a genuine all rounder next summer.

 

Our final total was a respectable 80 but it was a shame that Mackie was left high and dry with still 3 overs of the 20 remaining.

 

Carlton have a strong batting line-up but as per usual Muir and Mackie bowled well and runs were hard to come by.

 

Both opening bowlers took an early wicket to give us hope with the visitors on 26-2 but a third wicket stand between Kennedy and Everett was to prove decisive.

 

These young lads batted very well against some good bowling not least from TJ Beattie who bowled 4 very accurate overs for only 7 runs.

 

Although Kennedy and Everett were out with the score in the 60’s the visitors had kept back a couple of  their best players in Ravi Bhopal and Tom Barrett and the former hit the winning runs in the final over.

 

Once again holidays meant that we were very much under strength but this can’t be helped and all our boys enjoyed our quarter final win over a strong Penicuik team only to fall at the semi final stage to an excellent Carlton outfit.
