North Mymms II v Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 1st XI on Sat 11 Aug 2012 at 1.00pm
Northwood Town Cricket Club Lost by 4 wickets

Match report NORTHWOOD TOWN were defeated by four wickets for the second saturday in succession but will be content to have walked away with 16 points against promotion chasers North Mymms given the depletion of their side. They will also be encouraged that their batting form appears to have picked up after some poor early season form.

Winning the toss, skipper David Bushnell elected to bat and the now established partnership of Raj Ahluwalia and Akshay Loomba opened with confidence. The pair put on 62 in 18 overs before Ahluwalia (25) was dismissed.
Scott Walker has been showing good form with the bat and he settled in to continue the momentum as Town reached 101-1. Walker's (30) dismissal saw veteran Phil Carter enter the fray but his poor run of form continued
as Town wavered on 126-3. Loomba had been in excellent form and he reached his 50 before being dismissed trying to up the run rate. As in the previous week, Town's efforts to reach a big score saw regular wickets fall
but a cameo 30 not out from Craig Newman towards the end pushed Town up to a credible 206-7.

The pitch was clearly advantageous for a spinning attack and Bushnell took the option to turn his hand to spin alongside Raj Kotecha. Kotecha was the bigger success snaring 3 wickets but a missed opportunity to put Mymms on the back foot went when Crawford was dropped on 30 - he was to go on and win
the match with an innings of 93. Despite defeat. Town will be encouraged by the performance and will hope that availability improvements give them a big push for the end of season run in.
