KCC 3rd XI travelled to Geddington 2nd X1 on Saturday the 22nd of
May 2010.
Despite selection antics throughout the week Kibworth boasted a good
side on paper and were looking forward to taking on a Geddington side
sitting 2nd just behind KCC in division 5.
Losing the toss on a stiflingly hot day DG was not disappointed that
KCC were put into bat and was relishing watching his new opening pair
of PK and Rickesh work the Geddington bowlers around the park. Sadly as
he sat down to watch the third ball of the first over he saw PK struck
on the pads bang in front. There then followed what can only be
described as a procession of batsmen come and go. Geddington bowled
full and straight hitting good areas and with some help from a
deteriorating pitch and a generous umpire put KCC back in the box with
only 83 scored. Ben Underwood and Rickesh were the only guys who could
hold their heads up to any degree both battling to 16 a piece but to
put that in perspective extras top scored with 19. Simmo and DG could
probably count themselves unlucky with their decisions but no real
excuses can cover such a poor performance.
A quick tea was followed by an equally quick run chase. Geddington made
light work of the runs racing to 85 for 1 after just 17.4 overs. Tej
and Jai did their best and a sharp chance was put down at second slip
that Jai had worked hard to manufacture. Joe Cuthbert came into the
attack early with nothing to lose and battled bravely doing all he
could to find a wicket. Simmo came to the party bowling a beautiful
outswinger that nipped the off bail away but it was all too little too
late as Geddington showed KCC the art of front foot batting.
KCC 3rd XI will have to show great character next week when we
entertain St Crispins Ryelands at Fleckney rd. As we rise through the
leagues we will not have it all our own way and however strong we look
on paper if players do not stand up to be counted we will be on the end
of a few hidings this year. There was no magic to how Geddington beat
us and some simple, honest and time consuming hard work will be needed
in order to get us back to winning ways. Hopefully the first team
performance that a good majority of the third team watched should
provide inspiration and bring home what a great club we have the
pleasure of representing.
We have now slipped to 2nd place 8 points behind Geddington and 14
clear of St Crispins Ryelands.
