"Don't believe me, check the scorecard!" - Everyone in this week's Opening Spell... probably.
First ball – Slay!
St George-Sutherland Slayer, Rhiannon Dick, ripped through the Manly Warringah first-grade line-up in their match-up on Sunday, claiming figures of 7-8 from four overs. Yes, you read that correctly…7-8! Well bowled.
Second ball – Trademark Clarke provides Magpies spark!
Western Suburbs talisman Josh Clarke came in to bat with his side at 1-18, having been sent in by Randwick Petersham. Clarke, together with Liam Sparke 92 (209 balls) added 194 runs for the second wicket, with Clarke batting throughout the rest of the day, to be 142* (not out) at stumps. It was Clarke’s 23rd century. It took him to 9301 first-grade runs, past Australian sporting legend Victor Trumper (9244).
