Abbots Langley IV v Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 3rd XI on Sat 30 Jul 2011 at 1.00pm
Match was Drawn

Match report On a hot summer’s day, Northwood Town’s 3XI team travelled to Abbotts Langley to face an opposition equally hungry to gain a critical win. Having lost the toss Northwood Town 3XI were invited to field.

Opening the bowling spell for Town was the reliable combination of M.Katira and M.Parmar. It was not long before the pair over powered the opening three batsman and sent them back to the changing room with just 38 runs on the board. Fresh at the cease the fourth and fifth batsman were subjected to the same pressures as their colleagues. Instantly, M.Katira and fellow cricketers were appealing for a LBW after the batsman attempted a shot slightly outside of his crease, with the ball slipping away towards point. Whilst the majority of Town’s players and the batsman, still outside his crease, were occupied with the LBW appeal a watchful A.Parmar jumped on the ball and with one clean flowing action ran out the batsman. At the drinks interval the opposition had completed 24 overs at a run rate of 2.5 runs per over with the loss of 4 wickets.

Not to be undone the opposition buckled down and staged a wonderful recovery with a fine display of masterful batting from W.Graves 113 (4s=too many) and A.Woodford 45(not out). This helped the opposition achieve a competitive score of 227.

Town’s openers, E.Johnson 20(4x4s) and A Parmar, got off to flying start and were scoring runs easily before A Parmar was struck in the face and had to be rushed to the nearest A&E to get himself stitched up. Town then lost both R.Patel and H.Patel to some uncharacteristic looking batting strokes. R.Ganisetti and S.Brenton provided some stability before they too were dismissed. This left M.Parmar 36 (4x4s) and S.Sundaralingam 18(not out) to save the day; with diligence and patience they masterfully steered Town towards a well earned draw.
