Outright blues for Greenvale Kangaroos

For Greenvale Kangaroos, their Premier Cricket clash with St Kilda went from bad to worse at the weekend.

Having already conceded first-innings points on day one, the Kangaroos displayed similar form on Saturday to end up losing outright.

St Kilda declared on its overnight score of 2-210, with new Australian Test selection Peter Handscomb 105 not out.

Having made 115 in their first innings, the Kangaroos started their second innings 95 runs behind.

In a shaky start, the Kangaroos lost Sunam Gautam for four runs, while Nathan Massey lasted just three balls for three runs.

When skipper Jarrod Leggett and Zaheer Hussain fell, the Kangaroos were in trouble at 4-25.

Every time the Kangaroos looked likely to get a partnership going, they would loss a wicket.

In the end, they were all out for 103. Opener Harry Dearden top scored with 35.

St Kilda needed nine runs in its second innings for victory.

Trent Waring got the consolation wicket of Josh Manning as St Kilda made the runs one wicket down.

The Kangaroos sit 13th on the ladder ahead of a T20 clash against Footscray Edgewater.
