Theale & Tilehurst 2nd XI vs Crowthorne 5th August 2006

BACK

Report by Chef

I quote the end of last weeks report "Bring on the temperamental lady!".  Well she turned up and with no chocolate in sight she was in a foul mood.

Micky lost the toss for once and we were put into bat.  Rog and Eddie we out early on but Micky and Rags brought back some stabiliity, then when Micky was out with a soft caught and bowled Meady came in.

He wasn't fluent but seemed to score runs without chances.  Mark was caught trying to push on the run rate and this brought yet another Ali into the game (3 already on the pitch), in the shape of Hammad.  He continued his good form with a 24, followed by a brief 9 from Mo.  Chef then came in and he and Meady put on a record partnership of 79* in 8 overs.  Chef ending up on 33* in 24 balls and Meady finished on 71* and added another broken bat to his tally.

We finished on 227 which seemed like a good score.

Chef made an early breakthrough with Garret caught behind off a rising ball and Stanley was soon run out with some excellent fielding from Pawan and Meady.  This brought Raja and Brar to the crease who put on 111 for the 3rd wicket.  This put them in a great position and whilst we then started to take regular wickets, it just wasn't quick enough.  Both Rog and Mo picked up 2 wickets each but it was too little too late and they scored the winning runs with one and a half overs left.

Still, if the season holds true, next week should be great.
