Scorecard

Potters Bar III v Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI on Sat 11 Jul 2015 at 1pm
Match was Drawn

Match report A 19 point draw was sadly all Town could achieve in a game they dominated from ball 1.

After a solid opening partnership, Ramawat was unlucky to play on after a 50 partnership. Thakrar went on to score another fifty along with the excellent Kunal Patel. Some excellent scoring along the way from Haji, Vanker and Maulin Patel saw Town amass an intimidating 260 for 7 declared off 50.

After an excellent tea, and energetic Town side took to the field determined to take early wickets on the road that lay ahead. A determined opening stand swallowed up the best part of 15 overs though and seriously dented Town's hopes. When Khetia and Malik eventually removed the openers, another dogged stand stagnated progress until some rebellious counter-hitting eventually fell to some crafty bowling,

With the target increasingly distant, Town began to press more and more men around the bat with wickets falling at regular intervals. The scoring stagnated and it seemed the 'free-spirited' wide balls were destined to be top score at one stage!

Though Town piled on the pressure and even around the bat for nearly ten overs couldn't break down a feisty tail in the end. Plucky and lucky were the two adjectives of the day as the home side clung on to bat out for the draw.

Khetia had nothing but praise for his team after the game - "We gave it everything today and were better side from the off. Credit to the Bar tail end though, they really showed some grit and spirit to hang on in the end - especially Franklin. Good game, good spirit!"
