Buckingham Town Cricket Club - June 12th 2006

Town's Harsh Jethra (34) and Dilshan Direkze (30) started carefully against accurate bowling from Anthony Carver and Tom North, before accelerating to 66 in 12 overs. Rob Laird (11) and Toby O'Neill (11) kept the momentum going before Nick Wilkes (26 not out) drove 6 fours in a 10 ball cameo to close the innings on 131 for 5. Alex Vaughan-Fowler bowled straight for his two wickets, while Andrew Humphries found sharp turn and good control with his leg spin.

Wicken were never up with the run rate but applied themselves well to finish their 20 overs on 60 for 9 (St John Karssens 16). Josh Goodey nipped the ball in to remove the leg stump three times in his 4 for 21, while Wilkes took 2 for 6 with off spin. Josh Mallett (1-11) and Luke Stafford (0-4) bowled accurately, Stafford starting with three maidens. The wicket taking was completed by two run-outs, a direct hit by Tom Jones and a smart throw by Direkze to O'Neill.
