Theale & Tilehurst Friendly XI vs Pangbourne 29th May 2005

Report by Fingers

Ever had that feeling of deja vu? I'm tempted to say that if you want to know what happened in this game read the match report for yesterday. However, I will give a few more details.

James won the toss and against unknown opposition took the decision to put them in to bat. Bob and Os opened the bowling but the first wicket came from a run out with Houldey and Mullinger seemingly determined that one of them should go in that manner.

The main threat with the bat came from Groves, the skipper, who after an uncertain start played some good aggressive shots before getting a leading edge which I took running back from first slip. Rog and Trevor, who was probably the pick of the bowlers, worked their way through the middle order and then an extraordinary coincidence occurred: just as I found one of Chef's old recipes for rabbit stew lying around James gave me the nod to take over from Rog. Thanks very much I thought and helped myself to a couple of wickets.

I was the given a rare chance up the order but whilst having tea reflected on the fact that I had bowled 2.2 overs, 2 maidens and taken two wickets along with two catches; I was hoping that I didn't complete the set by getting out for two. I'm pleased to report that I wasn't out for two, just a second ball duck instead.

As with yesterday we were chasing just over 100 and as with yesterday James batted through to see us home, this time finishing on 68 not out. The Sunday side continues it's unbeaten run.
