Buckingham Town Cricket Club - July 19th 2007

Skipper Hutt won the toss and elected to bat.

Openers Kevin D'Silva(15) and Tom Jones(27) gave them a solid start and Adrian Johnson(24) continued the good work. The star performance then came from Town's overseas Kiwi, Jimad Khan who was in sparkling form with the bat. Coming in during the 11th over he hit an amazing 181 n.o. including 12 massive sixes.

Jimad also achieved the very rare feat of hitting six sixes in one over thus scored a maximum 36 from the over. A fantastic effort from Jimad very rarely seen in any cricket match and he was savage with the bat on the Erratics bowling.

Town closed on an impressive 283-5 from their 40 overs. On a quick outfield Erratics started well and were in front of the required run rate but from a winning position they were slowed down by excellent bowling from Jimad Khan and Lawrence D'Silva and eventually closed on 282-8 giving Buckingham victory by just 1 run. Dilshan Direkze and Jimad Khan both grabbed three wickets apiece.

A superb day's cricket.
