Day 1
James Nelson (Year 12, Marsden) anchored the Kings innings with a gritty century on day 1 of a two-day game against Scots College, in Wellington.
Kings - 261 all out in 70 overs
Karl Wallace (Year 13, Parnell) weighed in with a polished 74 runs off 94 balls. At stumps, Scot’s reached 85/5 in 36 overs.
Day 2
Rain delayed start.
Scot’s were bowled out with a small addition.
Kings extended the lead of 140 with a blustery 83 for 1 in 13 overs.
Josh Olliver (Year 13, Selwyn) bludgeoned 48 runs in 40 balls extending the lead to 223.
Scot’s are 8 without loss after 5.
Day 3
Kings batted first - 262/8 Nelson 62, Tapper 74, Olliver 30
Wellington - 262/9 Match tied, Wellington won after a super over
James Nelson bowled the 50th over when Wellington needed 3 to win the match.
He showed immense guts and smarts to dot things up and secure the tie. That was his first over of the match. Of course, he also bowled the super over.
Day 4
KC - 257/2
James Nelson 76, Karl Wallace 25, Nick Tapper (Year 13, Greenbank) 92, Josh Olliver 52 [last 2 not out]

Justin Nori (Year 12, Marsden) 3/21; James Nelson 2/27; Nick Tapper 2/31; James Bamford (Year 12, Major) 1/19
Win by 23 runs which seemed very unlikely for most of the match. Scintillating fightback!
