Town 11's bounced back to winning ways with a six wicket win over bottom of the
table Tiddington.
Batting first, Tiddington got off to a flying start against Town's opening attack of Sly
and seventeen year old debutant Smith on a lightening outfield, but the intoduction of
Valambhia's slow off breaks slowed the momentum down. As pressure was put on the
Tiddington batsmen they began to take more risks and wickets began to fall. Sly settled
into a good rythmn and collected 7 for 43 whilst Valambhia claimed 3 for 43 as the
visitors were bowled out for 139.
Town openers Taylor and Judd found the going difficult against an all spin opening attack
and with an old ball, low wicket and some turn runs were hard to come by.
The loss of both openers with the score on 60 meant that left handers Nick Board and Shiv
Talsania had to rebuild the innings. Talsania(19) played some tidy shots before he was
caught although it was left to the experienced Board to guide the team home undefeated on
47 with overs to spare. |
