KCC 3rd XI entertained Overstone Park 2nd XI at Fleckney rd on the
15th of May
Winning the toss DG elected to field first and initially things went
very well. Tej and Simmo hit some good early areas and within 15 overs
we were well amongst them having taken early wickets and restricted the
run rate nicely. But in 50 over cricket there is plenty of time for
change and Overstone began to turn things around with some unusual shot
selection and a hint of luck. The old saying catches win matches holds
a reverse and when catches are dropped decent players benefit. Sadly
KCC dropped a vital catch with a young talented South African only on
20. He went on to get 92 and Overstone finished on 186 for 7. Simmo was
again excellent taking 3 for 54 in his 15 but Ben Underwood must take
the plaudits as he snaffled 2 for 9 in his 7.
Thommo and Bhav were selected to open the batting as it was felt their
contrasting styles would gel together creating a formidable
partnership. Sadly the best laid plans don't always come off and both
went relatively early. Ali Dewan showed some resistance at 3 with a
good looking 21 but he made an average ball look good as he yorked
himself and Simmo hit the ball hard but sadly for him straight to mid
on. At 43 for 4 after 15 things looked a bit shaky for the KCC and good
temperament was called for. Luckily DG and PK came together and began
to play responsibly building a steady 50 partnership. DG went for 26
and PK shortly after for 25 leaving KCC some 90 runs short. This
brought a formidable bating duo together Kevin “the
lightening” Riley and Rickesh “fleetfoot” Patel. They
began to embarrass the rather leaden footed opposition taking two where
there was only one and one where there surely wasn't. With gas and air
for Kevin they cruised to the total with 4 overs to spare eventually
finishing 48* Riley and 36* Patel.
The mark of a good team is the ability to not play particularly well
and still win. We let ourselves down with some average fielding and the
top order failed to fire on a decent pitch against average bowling.
Luckily strength in depth gave us great options and cool heads won the
day. Stiffer opponents await and KCC must learn to pace a 50 over game
and keep themselves interested to take every chance that comes their
way.
We stand 17 points clear at the top of Div 5 with a big trip to second
place Geddington to come next week.
