Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 19th 2007Banbury XX vs Buckingham TownAndrew Holland writes:Town record first win! After a quick shower had threatened the game BanburyXX captain David Clark won the toss and decided to bat. With both sides having lost their first game to rain, they wanted the 30 points to get their bid for Home Counties cricket underway. For Buckingham, it was a bonus as they soon reduced the hosts to 1-4, with 2 wickets a piece to Greg Pearson and Chris Harris. After 32 balls BanburyXX finally scored a run off the bat, only to then lose another wicket to make the score 8-5. Andy Grubich and captain Clark then began a fight back, despite Harris and Pearson, followed by James Gear, keeping up the pressure. By the ½ way stage they had managed to reach 68-5 before Gear bowled the captain followed by Grubich, after reaching 50, being beaten by the spin of Ben Stafford. At 86-7 the game looked over, but Buckingham relaxed and overseas batsman Darren De Bruyn took advantage. He hit 52 from 67 balls as BanburyXX reached 169-8 in 50 overs. In reply Buckingham made a terrible start as Keith Arnold had Leigh Tomlinson caught at slip followed by Jonny Cater being stumped off the keepers pad 1st ball. After captain Rob Large and Dan Harris had been removed the score was 20-4, and BanburyXX had some hope. Jimad Khan and James Tomlinson then added over a 100 for the 5th wicket and the game was won. It was then that Clark brought himself on to bowl. His part time slow bowling did the trick. Khan hit his first ball cover and was out for 74. Buckingham ended up 7 wickets down, but thanks to Ben Stafford and James Gear got over the line in the 44th over. Innings of BanburyXXWright+ b Pearson 0 Harrison c Khan b C.
