Theale & Tilehurst Under 15 XI vs Reading B  15th May 2006

BACK

Report by Fingers

The u15s started with a tough home fixture against Reading B. Having spent some time discussing the pros and cons of batting or bowling first with Daniel there was a certain inevitability that he lost the toss with Reading choosing to bat in a match reduced to 16 overs a side because of the inclement weather and impending bad light for the end of the game.

Having not had much middle practice due to poor weather the T&T effort in the field was very commendable; the bowling was generally quite disciplined and some good catches were taken, particularly the two by Tom. Mark also did well in his first game behind the stumps. The pick of the Reading batsman was Wheeler who was particularly strong on the cut and made a good 36.

The talk between innings chasing a run a ball to win was to keep wickets in hand so as to attack the total in the second half of the innings. Unfortunately this plan failed to come to fruition with two wickets falling in the first over and wickets continuing to fall on a regular basis to leave us 54 all out and Reading winners by 41 runs.

There was much to take from this game, particularly from the bowling and fielding, but we need to get some partnerships going if we are to chase down totals such as the one set in this game.
