SCOTT Tallott knows only one way to play cricket . . . get on to the front foot and take the game to the opposition.

The Bollywood High School Old Boys skipper has thrown down the gauntlet to his teammates as they prepare to play Gisborne Boys’ High School in the opening round of the Doleman Cup 40-overs competition at Harry Barker Reserve tomorrow.

“We didn’t win a trophy last year. We’re definitely hunting trophies this season,” said Tallott, who welcomes back strike bowler and co-captain Jak Rowe, who missed the Walker Shield twenty20 doubleheader two weeks ago.

“Apart from Jak, who has matured a lot in his bowling, we’ll have pretty much the same squad who played in the twenty20 games.

“In the past we have been scratching around to get 11 players. This year we have 13 or 14 guys wanting to play most weeks so there’s going to be competition for places, which is good.”

Tallott showed his attacking skills when hitting 27 off 34 balls in Poverty Bay’s twenty20 win against Northern Districts Maori on Monday.

Rowe picked up two wickets for nine runs off 3.1 overs in the Bay’s 35-over clash with ND Maori on Sunday.

On paper, HSOB, who won their opening two Walker Shield games, look too strong for Boys’ High.

They have quality and experience in Glen Udall, Carl Shaw, Matt Jefferd and Ryan Majstrovic, and have picked up former Bollywood Stars players Ajay Kumar, Gagan Dhinga and Aman Kanboj.

But Tallott pointed out that paper teams don’t win games .

“It’s what we do on the day, and besides, Boys’ High also had two wins in the T20 games.

“They also have some good bowlers — Jack Faulkner, Paul Stewart and Peter Kapene.

“We’ll give respect but with our top five batsmen being openers, we have no fear of the new ball.”

Boys’ High coach Ben O’Brien-Leaf said HSOB were a strong team.

“Scott Tallott is a match-winner. Their batting depth, bowling resources and high standard in the field make them hard to beat. That, and their experience, is well-respected.”

O’Brien-Leaf was pleased with the students’ opening two Walker Shield wins.

“We made a bright start with the ball, were alert and active in the first innings. It would be good if we could do that again.”
