Match report

KCC welcomed Kempston Hammers to Fleckney rd for the second game of the 2009. Last week's centurion Ali Dewan had been promoted to the second team along with youngest Rickesh Patel whose ability in all areas of the game had clearly been noticed by the selectors. Also unavailable was Charles Hurley who would be missed and Scott Goodman who wouldn't. However these absentees gave chances to a returning Tom Bale an in form Tej Thakar, a wicket machine Duncan “slam dunk da dairylee funk” Jones and a bearded Lee Butler.

Pushing 40 Pedley did his best to undo all of KCC plans by losing the toss and he united Bale and Greenhalgh at the top of the order. On a good deck both batsmen made quick work of anything short and kept the defences up against the better deliveries. The 50 partnership came up shortly before a little spinning ball crept through Bale's bat and pad removing his off bail. This brought the big hitting Tim Ellwood to the crease and a lovely shot through mid off saw many a spectator setting up deck chairs in the hope of another exhilarating innings. This was not to be however as he went LBW to a rather dubious decision that surprised everyone including the Kempston keeper who later suffered at the hands of the same umpire. Pushing 40 came to the crease and looked good for 20 runs before hitting one up into the wind and getting caught. This brought Adil Ali to the crease and his first ball was shot of the day as he stroked one through mid off for 4. As Adil played with great class and some unusual calling methods so the Fajjarra kept on playing his shots at the other end. He went through 50 smashing one over square leg and things were looking good at 150 for 3. The fajjara then took on one too many slower balls getting caught on the square leg boundary for 82. Adil continued to bat well but wickets fell around him and boundaries dried up. Jay “DOTD” Boucher was looking for low flying light aircraft to hit as he lost his middle peg and it was left to Duncan Jones and Lee Butler to salvage 204 after a lovely six down the ground from Jones.

KCC went into the break and enjoyed the return of a beautiful pasta based tea. 204 was it enough on a deck that had just started to crumble?
KCC opened with the fiery Clayton with the wind and Jones into it hoping for a little swing and drift. Neither really came and both opening batsmen looked comfortable. Gibson J came into the attack and watched every short ball he bowled get put into the next field. Pedley needed a plan and he needed one quick. Turning to Adil Ali he hoped for a quick wicket and it came with Adil's first ball a loosener that went straight to Jones at mid off. Pedley teamed Adil with himself and between them thy bowled some beautiful lines and lengths tying the batsmen down. Within 25 overs it was clear that Kempston were not interested in chasing the score down and KCC would have to settle for another winning draw. Pick of the bowlers was Adil who made grown men look like children but Pedley deserves much praise for his efficiency. The Fajjara showed he was the best at the end taking a good catch at slip and Duncan Jones was very pleased to walk away with the Paul Collingwood trophy. Kempston finished 154 for 6 with Jones, Ali and Pedley all taking wickets. KCC now stand mid table and a big win is needed next week to start to push towards those promotion spots.
One love The Fajjarra
