Theale & Tilehurst vs Berks County Sports 31st August 2003

Report by Fingers

The sixth game of the season between various T&T and BCS sides ended in a comfortable win for T&T to leave each club with three wins apiece. In a straight 40 overs game BCS skipper Pete Drain elected to bat on winning the toss.  It was then he and Suki Kang that got the BCS innings off to a good start on a pitch that lacked a bit of pace but played evenly, the outfield as ever gave the batsman full value for his shots. It was only with the introduction of Farouk that the first wicket fell as Drain went to a very good caught and bowled.  Mike Dixon and Kang kept the score ticking over until Kang fell four short of his half century.  At 121-2 off 31 overs a platform had been set for a late charge but the steady fall of wickets kept the scoring in check and 176 all out in the final over was probably 40 under par.  The pick of the T&T bowlers was Farouk who as well as taking the first wicket bowled with good economy as he maintained a very good line and length. The T&T reply got off to a steady start before the introduction of Brian Norman immediately brought about the wicket of Rog, James was soon to follow caught behind.  This heralded an excellent partnership between Alex and Ed as they put on 88 for the third wicket in just 11 overs.  Alex was particularly fluent, after a shaky start, and displayed his best form of the season as he scored 64 off 47 balls including eleven fours.  Ed and Mark then knocked off the remaining 34 runs in under five overs as BCS tried eight different bowlers to no avail.  As it was T&T secured a seven wicket victory with over ten overs to spare.
