This is not intended to be a match report, I am simply throwing up some photos I took (day two) of the match.
I was too busy to attend on Saturday and the following photos were taken after Eltham had bowled approximately half a dozen overs on Sunday. Diamond Creek had passed 200 and Jarrod Williams, of Diamond Creek had just made his century.
Eltham gained, what could be, a valuable extra ten overs by bowling Diamond Creek out for 294 runs after 109.4 overs. Everybody's bowling figures looked very respectable considering the size and pace of the ground, Eltham also exchanged a strike bowler for an extra bat which makes the 294 very achievable. At the close of play Eltham are 1/59 after 50.0 overs, with 80 overs to play with this coming Saturday.
I think they are in a great position to win this game and I hope they do.
