Match Report

KCC 3rd XI entertained St Crispins Ryelands 2nd XI at Fleckney rd on Saturday 29th May 2010

On a day affected by rain the match eventually began shortly after 2.30 pm with both sides allocated 38 overs a piece.

Having won the toss DG elected to bowl first and paired up the enigmatic Jai and ever dependable Tej with the new ball. St Crispins came out swinging and early runs went on the board but a great catch by PK at Gully started the ball rolling. Positive batting continued but Jai knocked back the off peg on two occasions taking St Crispins to 43 inside the 8th over.

The run rate then dried up slightly and Ben Underwood and Key Riley joined the attack. Both bowled well but as the ball got wetter they struggled to hit the exact areas and St Crispins pushed on. PK was brought on at the pylon end and found a lovely rhythm from ball one. He got stuck into the St Crispins middle order and eventually finished with 8 overs 5 for 41 including a lovely caught and bowled for his fifth wicket. Jai finished with four wickets and would have had five save for a relatively easy chance put down in the covers.

St Crispins finished on 197 from their 38 and KCC were in with a good chance.

A quick tea saw an experimental opening pair put together to lead the KCC reply. The big hitting Ben Underwood and stalwart Imran Mir had 36 overs to make an impression as rain had struck again stealing two overs from us. They both looked untroubled in the opening 4 overs ticking the score along at 4 an over but Blunders lost his off peg bringing Sgt Wilko to the crease. Mick and Imran continued the chase with Mick looking imperious and Imran resolute. They looked comfortable but could not quite push on in the middle overs and the required run rate began to climb. When Imran was eventually dismissed in the 18th over KCC were at 63 with half their overs gone.

PK came and went for a quick 8 and DG joined Mick at the crease with the intention of upping the run rate. He then proceeded to fall into quick sand and the run rate slowed even further with positive shots going straight to fielders and defensive shots bringing murmurs of discontent from the stands. 6 overs wasted and only 20 runs scored was not the injection of pace required and KCC found themselves 91 for 5 as DG and Rickesh fell in quick succession.

A rain break then followed and most thought that was the end of the day but the St Crispins captain was adamant he wanted to wait for the clouds to blow over and we took the field once again with 9 overs still to face.

Kev Riley and Mick then showed the rest of the team how it should have been done. They smeared the ball to all parts in the closing stages much to the annoyance of St Crispins and took kcc to 176 in the 35th over. Kev finished on 45* and Wilko 78*. An excellent effort that this captain can only wish he had emulated in the middle order.

KCC 10 points St Crispins 12.
With only one other result in the Northants div 5 KCC now sit second 10 points behind Geddington and 13 points ahead of St Crispins.

25% of the season is done and we must maintain momentum into the heart of the summer. Discipline is the name of the game when bowling and fielding and we must remain positive when batting ensuring that we don’t ask too much of the final overs of the game when chasing. Well done lads keep on grafting.
