Theale & Tilehurst vs Stratfield Turgis 15th May 2004

BACK

Report by Chef

Well, FINALLY it was the start of the season, after having two games rained off the league was finally going to start.  First up was Stratfield Turgis.  Things started off well with Chef winning the toss and electing to bowl on what seemed a wet wicket (not particularly unusual based on the first two cancellations) and a recently mown sponge...I mean outfield.

Things started well with Maiden over.  Osman then came into bowl.  Dot Ball, Dot Ball, Four, Dot Ball, Wicket, Dot Ball.  This over turned out to be nearly half the runs Osman conceded in his spell of 9 overs.  Osman bowled with supreme accuracy as the number of victims that were Bowled shows.  In his spell he bowled 1 Maiden, 1 Wicket Maiden and 2 Double Wicket Maidens.  His final figures of 9.4 overs, 4 Maidens, 9 Runs Eight Wickets, should be enough to get league bowling award of the month.  It would have to be stunning for it to be beaten.

So the home team were restricted to 46.  It wasn't an easy wicket but accurate bowling highlighted poor batting.

We reached 47 with just the loss of Eddie & Rog.  The first win was under our belt, although we only picked up 25 points it is a step in the right direction.

We then leisurely drove home and watched the 2nd Innings of the 1st XI game.  What a game and you can read Brian's report.
