Buckingham Town Cricket Club - July 28th 2007Bicester & North Oxford vs Buckingham TownAndrew Holland writes:Town stay top!With so much rain around it was a welcome sight to see a full game of cricket played on Saturday. Rob Large won the toss, and continued Buckingham's aggressive tactics of bowling first. In good bowling conditions Jason Ell wreaked havoc as he knocked the Bicester top 3 over with only 20 on the board. Ex-Buckingham player Shiv Talsania was brilliantly caught by Dan Harris, before Sansome and Watkins went for single figures. Graham Savin and Doddapaneni began to rebuild, but scoring was slow and in the end Greg Pearson bowled Doddapaneni for 23. Krishan Talsania came to the wicket, but although Buckingham failed to find another breakthrough, after 30 overs the score was only 72-4. As batsmen got in however, scoring became easier, and a tired Pearson (approaching 20 overs on the trot), was attacked. Savin finally brought up his 50 from 101 balls, before a stupid second run saw him get run out. Talsania then got caught on the boundary for 41. Darryl Woods and Steve West continued the attack though as the hosts approached an unlikely 200. 4 wickets fell in the last 2 overs though to leave Bicester 198 all out.The Buckingham reply got off to a slow start as they experienced the same early problems with the conditions. Rob Large tried to go on the attack, but hit one straight up in the air and was caught for 18. After that, Buckingham took control as Leigh Tomlinson and Dan Harris found scoring easy. They added a quick 50 before both falling in consecutive overs, each caught at point. Jimad Khan took over though, and scored at a run a ball. Jonny Cater, having recovered from a knee injury, joined him and finally found some form as he batted calmly and helped Khan move the score on. Khans fifty took just 52 balls and although he chipped a ball straight back to the bowler soon after, followed by a duck for James Tomlinson, Buckingham were always in control, with Cater reaching 50 before the team reached the winning score.

Bicester batted first and scored a modest 187-8. Opening bowlers Ryan Spragg and Richard Pengelly bowled very tight and their good work was carried on by Lawrence D'Silva and Paul Sly. Dom Pritchard took 3-38 sending three middle order batsmen back to the pavilion. Buckingham in reply lost two cheap wickets before skipper Graham Judd (49) steadied the innings batting well. Russell Thompson batted very well showing a welcome return to form with 56 not out and Anant Peshavaria(25) batted well to give Buckingham a comfortable win. Innings of Bicester & North Oxford 2nds

Bicester & North Oxford 3rd XI vs Buckingham Town 3rd XIBob Hutt writes:Buckingham Town 3rds drew their match against their counterparts from Bicester & North Oxford. Skipper Wilkinson won the toss and batted and Town scored a respectable 192-6. Opener Nigel Norman with 83 not out batted well to give the innings a backbone and useful runs came from Callum Cater(25), Tom Hill(20) and Ian Wilkinson(18) who was unlucky to be run out. On reaching 100 for the loss of two wicket Bicester were going well but they could only close on 170-6. Callum Cater did well with 2-15 from his 8 overs. Opening bowlers Chris Colbourn and Steve Brunning bowled tidy spells. Andy Norman bowled well and Robert Davis took his first senior wicket for the Town. Innings of Buckingham Town 2nds
