Theale & Tilehurst friendly XI vs Holbeton friendly XI

24th July 2011

Report by Mini-Cooper.

After making it to Devon in good time we had our first game which was Holberton. This match last year was a good win for Theale and Tileurst with a very memorable
5 wickets taken by Hammad, surely lightning coud'nt strike twice! I lost the toss and we where put into bat, this gave the chance to Sunny and Agezz to score some
early tour runs. The innings started off very fluenty with Sunny hitting some very nice drives and Agezz scything away through mid-wicket, at the time he was batting
Agezz did'nt realise that there was a sweepstake on how many runs he would make and not surprsingly the numbers 0 to 10 snapped up very quickly which Alan won with Agezz
scoring 20. With both of openers gone the tour had it's first father and son combination batting together as Alan and Rob batted togetehr for first time since Al run
out Robert a year ago. Unfortunately the partnership did'nt last long as Both wickets fell within a couple of overs of eachother. At this point the innings had stalled a bit
and we had to rely on Speedo and Hammad playing very well timed innings during the last 10 overs to bring us to a total of 196 for 7.

After a good tea we started bowling with Michael and Ash who started a new career as a seam bowler with ash picking up 2 wickets early on to ease the pressure. After their spells
had finished we brought on one of best spinners in the club, not harry; but Hammad! With Harry bowling very economically at one end it gave chance for Hammad to reproduce his spell
from last year as he again picked up 5 wickets! With the game looking sfely in our hands Holbertons number 9 and 10 forged a very good partnership to put themselves back into the
game. With them needing 27 of the last two overs with 1 wicket remaining the game still seemed like it could go both way but this is when Charlie stepped up to the mark witha sharp
stumping of Ash to win us the game.
