Theale & Tilehurst Under 11 XI vs Reading 6th June 2006

BACK

Report by Fingers

Finally the u11s got to play their first game of the season following all the bad weather and what was the first u11 league game played by a Theale and Tilehurst side.

I don’t know who won the toss but T&T batted first and after some of the recent efforts with the bat by T&T sides there was some trepidation as Andrew and Michael walked out to open the batting. There was no need to worry though as both played exceptionally well, Andrew was initially the more fluent and was the first to retire when he finished with a beautiful cover drive for four. Michael took slightly longer to get going but when he did so played some equally good strokes and finished with an on-drive for four.

Once Andrew and Michael departed the scoring rate slowed a little but at the end of the innings the score just made it in to three figures with the closing score 100-1.

The second innings was a similar story with the Reading openers both also playing very well and both retiring; indeed after ten overs the scores for each team were identical at 54. However, the T&T bowlers were able to keep their disciplines in the second half of the innings and it was the difference in extras that proved to be the decisive factor. Andrew completed a good game by not conceding any byes and Hasan proved to be the pick of the bowlers and finally got what he deserved when he picked up two wickets in the final over of the game to finish with 2-6 off three overs.
