Match Report by Will Jennings
The performance level of
the 4th team at present goes up and down like Casanova’s Keck’s, one week cute
enough to loosen the morals of a Supermodel next week failing to score in a
Nympho’s nightclub. Now admittedly the opportunities for mentions in the gossip columns
whilst playing Division 13 cricket in the Northants League are pretty slim but
you have to show ambition. After all the whole reason for having a Fourth team
is to give the younger lads experience and the chance to sample the cake at a
higher level in later years. Unfortunately the small matter of winning a
cricket match proved beyond them this week.
Losing the toss is nothing new and having to bat on a wicket of
dubious
quality is nothing particularly startling, however with the
considerable
ballast of experienced Salad Dodger Paul Abbott at the top of the order
there
was the potential of a solid basis. Unfortunately a beaut of an
inswinger undid
this particular plan so he found some shade by the side of the
pavilion, right
by the entrance to the smallest room, and snored the rest of the
innings away. It soon became apparent that the pitch would prevent
any scintillating
stroke play, even if a suitable batsman had been found, and that runs
would be
at a premium. Realising the conditions of the game young Aadil did his
level
best to reign in his attacking game but after compiling 26 in steady
fashion
the lure of cow corner became too much and it fell to John Bleby to
anchor the
Kibworth effort, unfortunately the rest of the order showed all the
application
of a bloater in McDonalds.
You would be forgiven for thinking that only 115 from 45 overs is rather
sub standard (and perhaps you would be right) but on a poor wicket and against
a team who were bowled out for only 56 the previous wicket there was a notable
lack of despondency in the Kibworth ranks at tea. Initially the signs were good. Tej Thakker, who bowled impressively
throughout, forced opener Wheatherley to play on and when Ben Underwood
effectively bounced out their number 3 the scoreboard read 23 for 2 and belief
rose along with the decibel count. 23 for 2 became 57 for 4 and the game hung in the balance. Debutant Mayur
Chauhan bowled dangerous looking opener Anderson and when Aadil accounted for
Colburn thanks to a Fido catch it became a real 50/50 game.
Try as Kibworth might though the next dismissal would not come. Balls
would drop in between fielders and catches, albeit some difficult, went down.
The skipper gambled and brought himself on to buy a wicket, perhaps if Ben
Underwood had held on to his catch the door could have been forced open, but
the lack of runs on the board stopped any serious pressure being applied.
Grendon strolled home by six wickets with 9 overs to spare although perhaps
that didn’t tell the whole story. So now attentions turn towards Torquay, it is to be hoped that results in
the South West will be better than that gained on a sunny afternoon in
Northamptonshire.
