Bathurst claims 245-run win over Orange at Western Zone Colts Carnival

What they inflicted was nothing short of an annihilation.

Bathurst returned to Orange’s Jack Brabham Park on Sunday, a day after going down to Dubbo by five wickets, to construct an outrageous innings total of 9-387 against hosts Orange.

Tanvir Singh smashed 132 while three of his teammates also scored half centuries in a 245-run rout.

Ben Mitchell belted 67 off just 29 deliveries, Nic Broes (56) made it back-to-back 50s for the weekend and Cooper Brien (70) was impressive up against older opponents.

Brendan Pallier quickly forgot about his golden duck as he carved up Orange with the ball.

He finished with figures of 6-10, starting his stint with a double wicket maiden.

“The boys were disappointed with yesterday so they really came out ready to play today,” Bathurst coach Shane Broes said.

“It was a shaky start but Benny Mitchell, Nic and Tanvir all played very well. Cooper Brien’s only 14, turning 15, and he’s come in and scored 70.

“We bowled great as well and Brendan Pallier finished with a six-fer, which is awesome.

“Yesterday we got off to a good start but then things just didn’t go our way. To turn it around today was very pleasing.”

Sam Hall (4) and Bailey Brien (8) fell early to run outs on Sunday but all that did was bring Mitchell to the crease, a batsman ready to belt the cover off almost every delivery that came his way.

He hit seven sixes and four fours in an explosive day at the crease that didn’t even last half an hour.

Singh came to the crease after Mitchell’s dismissal and became a member of two century stands alongside Broes and Brien, partnerships that moved Bathurst from 3-96 to 5-359.

Will Luelf (29), Lachlan Coyte (27) and Ike Dean (26) showed fight with the bat for Orange but Pallier was busy picking apart the rest of the order.

The hosts were all out for 142. Five batsmen were dismissed for ducks.

Ethan Ivory (2-32) was the next best of the Bathurst bowlers.

It was a much tougher day out for Bathurst in Saturday’s opener.

Campbell Rose knocked over openers Hall (35) and Bailey Brien (30) in the space of just three balls before Mitch Ashford had Mitchell (1) caught behind in the next over.

Broes (58) helped his side regain composure but Cooper Brien (13) was the only other batsman to achieve double figures as Bathurst were all out for 193.

Singh (4-33) had Dubbo in serious trouble when the opening bowler moved to figures of 3-5 in the space of only seven balls.

However, Tom Atlee (84 not out) and Ben Wheeler (54) arrived to steer Dubbo towards what had looked like an unlikely victory early in their innings.

Atlee joined forces with Jake Settree (40 not out) to produce a game-winning century stand – still with 17 overs and five wickets in hand – to deny Bathurst a shot at the title.

Chairman’s XI beat Dubbo by one run in a thrilling Sunday finale.
