Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 2nd XI v Boxmoor on Sat 25 Apr 2015 at 1:00pm
Northwood Town Cricket Club Lost by 30 runs

Match report Northwood Town II lost the toss and was asked to bowl. An aggressive opening partnership by Boxmoor was eventually broken by a smart caught and bowled by Awesome Tea Lady-cum-Vice Captain Jack Daly. A neat caught behind by Ravi Kotecha off Meeth Katira’s bowling broke a strong second wicket partnership.

What ensued was a brilliant bowling partnership between the Consistent Pradip Pandey and Wiley Ali Ghaffer, with the latter showing off figures of 7-2-15-3 and mixing his usual medium pace with some brilliant slower balls to fox Boxmoor’s batsmen. Boxmoor’s run rate as a result fell from 6-an-over to 4.5-an-over in a very short space of time.

As these bowlers ended their spells, in came Harshil Palan, complaining about an injured thigh, blablabla, and sent the batsman’s off stump cart-wheeling with his very first delivery. Supported by a tight line from Nic Patel at the other end, Palan ended up with figures of 5-1-8-3 as Boxmoor was bowled out for 130 runs.

One commendable element of Town’s performance was its fielding, with not a single catch going down, nor a single misfield... very impressive!

Chasing 130 off 40 overs, Town got off to a confident start, with Sandip Thakrar in particular looking in sublime form, and scoring a fluent 69. His strong pull shots and sharp running between the wickets were particular trademarks of his inning. Unfortunately, he received little support from the other end, with Town collapsing to an unfortunate 100 all out in just 31 overs.

Plenty of positives to pull early in the season, especially around the brilliant bowling and fielding. A little more application with the bat from all of us will bring us to our winning streaks soon enough, no doubt!
