Hosting the current wooden-spooner in round 11 at Gunbower Recreation Reserve, L-G won the toss and sent the visitor in to bat first.

The pair combined for 61 through the first 16 overs before some Zac Hegarty magic sent Bennett packing for 39 and two balls later Zeb Ellwood was also brought undone for no score.
Oddie continued on with Jamal Sukhon until over 23 where the former was beaten all ends up after tallying a steady 30 from 84 balls.
