MAL began their Middlesex Sunday Cricket League season with a comprehensive victory over West Middlesex CC at home on Sunday.

On winning the toss, Gav Lebens decided to have a bat, and a good score looked on the cards as a combination of good batting and poor bowling saw Mark Landau and Russ Corin take the score to 31 after two overs. Both were tough on any loose bowling and took the score to 81 before Corin presented a caught and bowled chance to the off-spinner Keogh and was dismissed for 27.

Landau followed soon after in the 16th, skying a catch to cover for 34. Yoav Lebens was joined by Pinty Baddiel, and both picked off runs easily, dispatching the bad balls and running well between the wickets. Lebens reached a well made 52 off 48 before lofting a catch to deep square leg off Maclennan.

The 4th and 5th wickets fell quickly with Matt Plax feathering an edge behind for 5, and Baddiel eventually playing on to his stumps for 33.
