Match Report by Will Jennings
For a team that has been
setting itself high standards recently this was an unwelcome return to Cock Up
Island, and the skipper was not impressed. That there was a game at all was due to the modern day miracle that is
the all weather surface, an understanding grounds man (who also fancied a bat)
and a pair of flippers on each fielder. Due to a mass of unavailability the team showed some nine changes with
the majority being called up to the Third Team, unfortunately their promotion
was only rewarded with a spot of rain watching so some of them were around to
witness the debacle that was to follow.
Bottom of the table Irthlingborough won the toss and batted, leaving the
home fielders to skid around on the outfield which was more greasy than a
Pikey’s hair and because the match was on the all weather no spikes were
allowed. Summer and Hunt opened the batting and showed an array of shots which
belied their teams place in the table. Summer in particular (on a day which was
anything but) looked to have a touch of class at this level with a few sleek
looking cover drives in his 56 but Hunt’s 104 was more an exhibition of
selective hitting against a young attack. Whichever way you look at it Kibworth
were in big trouble. Eventually a breakthrough came with young Harry Davies who took a smart
caught and bowled, taking a real steepler before being taken out by Guy Hide in
a sickening collision that would have been a candidate for ‘You’ve Been
Framed’.
You know when things are bad; the skipper brings himself onto bowl. This
exhibition of ‘spin’ bowling brought a second wicket which was a (and you will
have to believe me on this) a diving caught and bowl that threatened to
breakthrough the wicket as well as the batting. At this point the visiting
batsman stopped playing for turn that never existed and it became time to find
another exponent. In the final analysis only Tej who took three wickets bowled anything
like what was required, the rest being too wide, too short and too expensive.
The fielding too was simply shambolic with no energy or thought, even the
verbals of Aadil died down after 10 overs. The visitors closed on 262 as the
first heavy shower of the afternoon hit and the skipper let fly with some home
truths in the dressing room.
The second heavy shower hit just four overs into the Kibworth
reply and
11 overs were lost. The equation became 201 from 34 overs, if that were
not
possible 170 would gain the five bonus points. To be fair Paul Abbott
and Sam Pole went about the task with gusto as a run
rate of 6 after at least 20 overs would gain the home side an unlikely
victory.
When Sam fell to another cracking slip catch Aadil went in, watched the
visitors bring the field in to stop the little man hit singles and
promptly
boomed a big six over midwicket. It was a bright spot on a dark
afternoon. Abbo fell for 27 and Aadil for 33, wickets meant little
as the storm
clouds gathered and run rate became the only thing that mattered. In
the 24th
over when Illo holed out Kibby were 106 for 6 and behind the required
rate. To
make matters worse it became the turn of the skipper to walk out to the
middle.
At this point Mother Nature who had witnessed enough filth that
afternoon
decided that the batting of The Bard was just too much and the heavens
opened
in a serious manner.
This time the players would not, and could not return. With Wayne Illife being
a one man calculator working out bonus points hands were shaken and the whole
abject afternoon was brought to a close. At the beginning of the afternoon the team was challenged to take their
opportunity and cement their place in the side before the established players
return. Sadly far too few of them answered the call.
