Buckingham Town Cricket Club - June 9th 2007Buckingham Town I v Shipton IAndrew Holland writes:Town go top as Khan ShinesHaving suffered a heavy defeat the week before Buckingham came into the home fixture against second bottom side Shipton wanting a win. Rob Large won the toss, and despite conditions being good for batting, inserted the opposition. That was to be the only success for Buckingham in the first hour and half as opening batsman Paul Hemming and Charles Brain put the pressure on. Greg Pearson kept some control, but Chris Harris and Ben Stafford were being scored off at 5 an over. The wides continued from the previous week and were soon into double figures. It was however Stafford that found the first wicket. In the 21st over he had Brain caught at mid on for 29. Hemming continued strongly though, reaching 50 from 65 balls, and built another partnership with Danny Bishop. Eventually Rob Large turned to Jimad Khan who found the breakthrough, Bishop lbw for 22. From there Shipton never seemed like offering much resistance as no one else reached 10. James Gear took 2 wickets along with a clever run out from Jonny Cater, but Khan stole the show as he ran through the batting, including the wicket of Hemming, to finish with 5-39 from 11 overs. Shipton managed to reach 200-9 in their 50 overs.201 seemed a fairly straightforward chase but Omar Hussain picked up the early wickets of Leigh Tomlinson and Jonny Cater to have Buckingham 48-2. It was therefore barely an hour after his fifth wicket that Jimad Khan found himself batting. Other than taking 10 balls to get off the mark he went like a train and soon had the fielders running all over the place. It took just 47 balls for him to reach 50 and he was soon approaching a 100. It was an innings full of entertainment as Khan hit 13 fours and 4 big sixes, the last of which went onto the roofs of the neighbouring houses. It was Chris Panter in the end that ended his innings though when he had him caught at point for 92 (73 balls). It was a great innings, and overshadowed a fine 50 from skipper Rob Large as his return to form continued. The slow bowling of Hemming then accounted for Dan Harris first ball before Large holed out at mid-on off Panter. Adam Izzard and Greg Pearson saw Buckingham home though in the 40th over in what was always a comfortable victory.

Ryan Spragg was in fine form with the ball taking 5-37 and with Wolverton 63-7 Buckingham were crusing but a late rally saw Wolverton reach an amazing 184-10. Buckingham were adjudged to have bowled 37 wides which proved very costly. Most of Buckingham's batsmen scored a few runs but there was no major innings as skipper G. Judd(28) and Nev Pritchard(20) top scorer. Buckingham were at one stage 152-6 but Wolverton just edged home. Innings of Wolverton Town 1sts

Town won the toss and batted and made an excellent start with a partnership of 115 from openers Ian Wilkinson(38) and Nigel Norman(56) who both batted very well. A middle order collapse ocurred but Matt Dipple(17n.o.) and Andy Norman(21n.o.) both batted well scoring valuable runs as Town closed on 182-7. For Didcot Allen took 5-39. After a steady start Didcot lost both openers to Matt Dipple and then wickets fell quickly and they could could only make 107-10. Star performances with the ball came from youngsters Andy Norman 4-12 and Steve Brunning 3-19. Innings of Buckingham Town 3rds
