MARLBOROUGH 3rds v BUSCOT PARK CRICKET CLUB 2nd ELEVEN on Sat 16 Jul 2016 at 13.00
BUSCOT PARK CRICKET CLUB Lost by 46 runs

Match report A tough week trying to get 22 players but we made it with Stuart Burchett's late inclusion into the side. Stuart arrived after 13 overs with the score on 38-3 but some good partnerships of 48, 76 and 48 unbroken meant that Marlborough finished on 194-5. This included a 90no by their 12 year old batsman O Whitely. Two run outs helped as wickets were hard to come by but the wicket was playing well so not out of the game yet.
John Slack was settling down to eating the best away tea of the season so far and then given the news that he was opening the batting and tried not to choke on his spicy samosa.
Unfortunately John's best batting run of his 2nd XI career (34 unbroken runs with scores of 6no, 17no, 9no, 2no) quickly ended causing John great frustration at being out.
Stuart started to smack fours regularly and Jason Court also in a 55 partnership which included Jason making Stuart run a three. Stuart was having no more running in that over so hit three 4's to finish the over. Another good 49 partnership between Stuart and Nick Edgington meant we were well up with the run rate. Stuart was then out for 84 with the score on 112-3 in the 25th over. Stuart obviously disappointed not to reach 100 but we tried to make him feel better by saying he would have settled for 84 at the beginning of the game. Matthew Lawrence quickly brought him down to earth by saying he isn't even top scorer in the game. At the 25th over, Marlborough were 70-3 with Buscot on 116-3 so well ahead of run rate at this stage. Dave Burke scored a quick 18 but at the other end we were suffering the Buscot batting collapse with 3 wickets falling on 130. We never recovered and finished 148 all out. Losing by 46 runs but still with 58 balls remaining.

Highest score of the season so far, 84 by Stuart Burchett.
Stuart's score of 84 is his highest in league cricket for the 2's beating his previous highest score of 31.

Daren Fisher's score of 4 is his highest in league cricket for the 2's in his short batting career for Buscot so far.

John Slack demolished the stumps by knocking over middle, off and leg stump but unfortunately this wasn't when bowling, but when reversing his car straight over the practise stumps to much cheering and applause by both sides enjoying the complimentary beers from the fridge.

2nd's all time record against Marlborough is now Played 20, Won 9, Lost 9, Abandoned 2.
