Batting brilliance from ANZA Cricket

Every great Aussie cricket team seems to have a token South African – think Kepler Wessels or Marnus Labuschagne. The Kiwis may have dodged that trend, but not ANZA!
Fresh from playing in the Scottish league, Guy Hudson landed in Singapore with his trusty Black Widow bat in tow, following wife Emma’s dream of opening a dance studio. Lucky for us, he brought some serious firepower.

Over the past few years, ANZA Cricket has quietly built a reputation on the pitch – but Guy’s mega performance earlier this year against the strong Balestier XI turned heads. Smashing 149 runs not out off just 74 balls – including a staggering 17 sixes – he put on a show for the ages.

In our final night league match, Guy pulled off another mind-blowing innings, scoring a whopping 81% of ANZA’s total runs. To put that in perspective: our second-highest “scorer” was wides – extra runs gifted by the opposing bowlers. It got so wild, one bowler feigned a finger injury mid-over to retire! This unforgettable knock is now firmly etched into ANZA history.

Hats off to Guy for his fearless hitting, cool composure, and serious style at the crease. Very well played – the Black Widow bites again!

Crossing Borders

day out.
