At
drew with
THORESBY COLLIERY 2nd (6) 114 for 6
Excuse only
a brief match report this week…………
Following
the heavy rain during the previous week, this was the greenest wicket seen at
Clumber
batted first. Hutchy took the early wicket of Gareth Beard. Billy had Delaney
snapped up at silly mid off by Ian. Jervis and Deaves then batted well against
some indifferent Thoresby bowling. Clumber skipper Tingle hung around a long
time. Jervis continued to a good 71, hit mainly over the top but that was
almost the only option on such a damp wicket. Wickets fell steadily from about
140 onwards, but the half time talk was that we had let Clumber get about 40
too many on that track.
Godders and
Casey opened up after last week’s excellent stand. Godders was out caught at
the wicket fairly early off Adwick. Halfpenny joined Case but last week’s
centurion fell not long after, soon followed by Rossington. Ben Marson once
again looked good but showed his inexperience on this type of wicket, trying a
wipe through mid wicket to a straight ball. Wood joined ˝p to defend staunchly
against the very accurate Adwick. Any chance of a real run chase was fading as
the slow wicket worked against the batsmen. The added pace of Michael Tingle
and Beard allowed Woody to free his arms and hit through the ball for a number
of wonderful boundaries. Only just back from his long-term hamstring injury,
running was out of the question for Brian and only very long ‘ones’ were
possible. He was finally out off Beard’s slower ball for 40 odd.
As the
match drew to a conclusion, Halfpenny cut loose with 3x4 off Beard’s final over,
to finish on a deathly boring 27 NO from about 40 overs!
In the end
those runs given away whilst bowling – lots of 4-balls – were the difference.
Chasing 130 / 140 would certainly have been within our reach, even on this
unusual Thoresby wicket.
