Match Report
Sunday 4 August -v- New Ash Green at New Ash Green
We returned to 'domestic cricket' with the short trip to New Ash Green, but unfortunately for a second year running had to endure a disappointing fixture. The Club offered a debut to Vinnie from the YMCA and also brought in Simon and Bill as replacements for some tired and incapacitated tourists.
Relentless drizzle put the game in some doubt and when we finally got under way, it was reduced to a thirty over format. Against the advice of some senior colleagues Gord inserted NAG after winning the toss, a decision that was fully vindicated. The moisture on what was basically a firm pitch, gave Timmo and Simon considerable assistance and both exploited it fully. Simon beat the bat regularly, but failed to find the edge (perhaps he should aim at the stumps), whilst Timmo helped himself to three wickets, in what was his most menacing spell this year. NAG never threatened to break from the shackles and their innings closed on 74 for 7 with Vince bamboozling his way to a brace of wickets. We took just over half the allotted overs to make the necessary requirement, with Jim remaining 36 not out, ably supported by another good knock from Simply.
