Theale & Tilehurst Under 17s vs Thatcham 14th June 2007

BACK

Report by Fingers

I don’t know who won the toss but we batted first and a couple of early lusty blows by Ashley suggested that we might get a decent start. I didn’t last long though as he soon nicked one behind to the ‘keeper off Green; it would appear that Rog has been along to a couple of the u17 practice sessions and giving advice on when to walk because Ashley was the first of at least a couple of T&T batsman not to walk after the most obvious of outside edges.

Phil soon followed run out and when Chris R was fifth out with the score on 39 it looked like the innings could fall away badly. However, Specs and Aaron came together in what proved to be the main partnership of the innings as they put on 33 for the sixth wicket. When Aaron was out Specs was the player to see the innings through to the end of twenty overs, he may have achieved this if he hadn’t been involved in three run outs in the last four overs. Once might be seen as unfortunate, twice careless but three times is definitely Osman territory.

A score of 99 looked a little short of par but a couple of early wickets could have got us back in the game but when the chances came along we didn’t take them. A couple of run out chances were missed and a catch went down. Around this Donnelly and Lynch both played well and when the score had reached 78 it looked like they would win the game on their own. However, Donnelly was dismissed and there was a sudden decline in the standard of batsman at the crease.

Lynch saw the game through for Thatcham and reached a well made fifty just before the end but if we had managed those two early wickets the result could have been very different.
