Waltham X Rosedale II v Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI on Sat 13 Jun 2015 at 1pm
Match was Drawn

Match report Town arrived at Waltham Cross on a dismal day. Having been sent into bat on an awful wicket, Town lost Thakrar early, but rebuilt well through Ramaway and Cotton.

On a pitch that saw a 40mph bowler getting the ball up past head high a tremendous partnership and a slice of luck saw the pair add 117 to the total as Town began to dominate proceedings. Ramawat finally departed though. Like a number of batsmen, he eventually fell to the conditions as much as anything. But Haji and Cotton both forged ahead with some excellent shot motoring the scoring along.

Cue the traditional middle order collapse and subsequent tail end thrashing and Town ended up on a fantastic 212 all out.

In response, Daly and Malik opened brilliantly with the ball, Daly in particular charging in with biblical fury and venom. With Silva and Syed also chipping in, Town carved through the top order leaving the hosts on 46 for 5.

The conditions though were making hitting the stumps a near impossibility, with tennis ball bounce making it harder and harder to hit the wickets. To credit the home side though, they made the most of the situation and with some stern resistance and aggressive hitting, the began to pile on the runs. Although Khetia finally made a breakthrough, the score had raced along and Waltham X were still in the hunt.

As Khetia strived for wickets, they did come, but at a price. At one stage, the 5 close catchers in place for large parts of the game, became 5 boundary runners as the runs flowed a little too easily!

Again it was Daly and Silva who made crucial breakthroughs, and with 9 down, the hosts were forced to block out the last few overs for the draw.

Khetia was upbeat after the game though. "It was a game that we probably should have won, but I'll take 19 points if I can't get 30. Given the horrendous state of affairs out there, it was a great effort from the hosts to get the game on. Quick mention to the tea lady, epic teas!!"
