England vs New Zealand ODI at Edgbaston

On Tuesday 9^th June we took 14 pupils from years 7-11 to the one day international at Edgbaston between England and New Zealand.

It was a brilliant game, which was full of action. England scored their highest ever one day total and one of our batsmen scored the second fastest ODI century in English history.

Cricket- Tenbury vs Weobley.

Cricket match report

On Thursday 26^th June Tenbury High School played against rivals Weobley High School. In Tenbury’s team they had 3 year 8’s who were: Jamie Farrar, Will Ward (wicketkeeper) and Ethan Fish. Ten Year 9’s, including Alfie Watts (captain),  Rory Noble, Tom Ferguson, Brandon Hadley, Tom Bowen, Kit Garbutt, Jake Lambert, Luke Staples, Connor Lewis, Adam Robinson and Peter Down. To finish the squad we had two year 10’s-  Joel Stones and Nick Webb. 

After Tenbury’s victory over Weobley earlier in the season they were looking like favourites. Tenbury were wanting to field first, but lost the toss. Luckily the Weobley captain decided they wanted a bat so Tenbury were left to field.  Nick Webb had Tenbury’s first over and went for only two runs. Next to bowl was Alfie Watts from the pond end, during the over he went for 11 runs but took the wicket of Weobley’s danger man and captain from an excellent catch by Rory Noble in Gully. A few overs later Jamie Farrar came in to the attack in for Nick Webb and like Nick only went for 2 runs off his first over. 

The next wicket broke a partnership that could have been deadly but luckily a brilliant catch from Joel Stones off Jamie Farrar’s bowling got rid of the danger. Rory Noble then came into bowling and went for very limited runs in his first over. The next over he had involved a ball that took middle stump flying. Tom Ferguson also took a wicket with his first bowl for Tenbury High School, then a few overs later took the wicket of the last batsmen with a catch from midwicket. The final bowling figures were:

Nick Webb 0-14

Alfie Watts 3-29

Jamie Farrar 1-5

Rory Noble 1-7

Tom Ferguson 2-6

Tenbury needed 66 to win at just 4 an over. The openers for Tenbury were Joel Stones and Jamie Farrar. These two stayed in for 9 overs and made a 50 partnership until Jamie Farrar went for a quick single, but was sent back and run out for 6 runs. However when Nick Webb came in at 3 Tenbury only needed 16 runs off 7 overs for a victory. Tenbury made this target easily with 3 overs to spare with a four from Joel stones who finished on 33 not out. Nick Webb finished with no runs and not out. Tenbury have now won two on the bounce and will be looking forward to the next game.

England vs Sri Lanka ODI decider.

THS were offered tickets for the One Day International cricket game between England and Sri Lanka on Tuesday night (3rd June). The score in the series was tied at 2-2 and this was classed as the deciding match.

The tickets were offered to us by Tom Rawlings, an ex Tenbury High School pupil, who now works as the communications manager at Edgbaston cricket ground.

We accepted the offer for the tickets and took 14 lucky pupils.
The pupils...and staff were really excited travelling to the game. Some of them had never seen a cricket match before let alone a match of this level. What an experience, being able to say that their first ever cricket game was watching an English ODI.

Having got underway, the pupils, were soon joining in with the spectator songs between overs, and dancing; although, the dancing was an attempt to make the big screen.

Even though there was the odd controversial wicket, England lacked an attacking mode towards the end of their innings and silly dismissals may have cost them the game. Despite the loss, the memories and experience that the pupils will take from this game was the main aim of the trip.

Below are some of the pictures from the match. See if you can spot the Royal Family.
