I saw Harry Boam play yesterday against the mighty Wainuiomata side and he definately showed some class, his bowling was a bit dodgy and right now I can only see him as a batter alone but boy can he time the ball. It was just a shame Wellington College once again cheated when they had the upper hand late in the match. Two clear cut stumpings against one of there batsmen that the coll boy at square leg turned down and that batsmen ended up smashing the winning runs. The first one was quite difficult but the batsmen had his foot in the air and the second one he was atleast two feet out of his crease. What made it worse was the batsmen started walking off it was that easy. Can't one bit blame the batsmen for not walking off.
It really soured the match as before this it was a good tight game with both team struggling to score on a very slow outfield.
Cricket Wellington bend over backwards for Coll to be in this grade (as it was earlier agreed that they weren't allowed to play this grade). They go out there and play beautiful cricket but are so dishonest it becomes rediculas.
Wellington College great place to better yourself as a cricketer but probably not the best place to learn honesty in the game.
