Sunday cricket at Kibworth is all about club members doing extraordinary things. Today's clash at Bowden was just another example of that.
Paul Illingworth hit his annual six, a monsterous straight smash down the ground that only a tall tree stopped from going onto the adjoining railway line. He only then bowled the last over and took his first wicket of the year. The crowd went wild.
Curtis Harding pulled a real vote winner out of the locker by bringing ice lollies to the party and then took two wickets with his off spin. His team mates went wild.
Pete Moran took two wickets with his seamers, Chris Carson took a wicket too with a cartwheeling middle stump. Everyone (except the unfortunate batsman) went wild.
The real man of the match stuff was provided by Rickesh Patel. 105 not out from 75 balls. Wonderful stroke play, insane running in insane heat and Kibworth had a score of 220 which Bowden would not get close to.
Perhaps some more aggressive bowling changes would have turned to draw into a win but it was such a lovely day and the whole winning thing just seemed a nonsense.
