Buckingham Town Cricket Club - July 19th 2008Wokingham vs Buckingham TownAndrew Holland writes:Bad day at the office for TownBuckingham lost the toss at Wokingham on Saturday and were put into bat. They started strongly with Rob Large scoring a run-a-ball 26 before he was caught off the bowling of Martin Wilson. After that run scoring was slow. Wokingham brought on Simon Myles and Dan Doran who bowled wicket to wicket. Leigh Tomlinson (30) and Jonny Cater (14) both batted well but when they went the score was 88-3. Two more followed in the next 10 overs and the score was 105-5 at lunch from 42 overs with Dewayne Bowden 20 not out.Thoughts of Bowden batting on after lunch were gone when he clipped the first ball of the session to mid wicket off Wilson. Greg Pearson and James Tomlinson chanced their arms a little and added 43 in the next 9 overs as the score moved up towards 150. Tomlinson went for 18 when he mistimed one in the air, and that opened the door for the last 3 wickets to fall in 5 overs. Pearson finished on 36 not out from 55 balls. Doran took 4 for 35 from 22 overs as Buckingham were all out for 172. In reply Buckingham got off to the best of starts as Bowden had Doran caught behind in the first over for just 4. Wokingham skipper Martin Bushell came in and started playing his shots, but Town hit back as Pearson bowled Appiah for 7. Dan Reddyhough came in at number 4 and between them he and Bushell began to rebuild the innings. The Buckingham bowlers failed to get the same out of the pitch as the home side and the run rate moved along at well over 5. Ben Stafford, playing in his first game of the season, finally got the break through as, with the help of an excellent catch from Leigh Tomlinson, Bushell went for 47 from 49 balls. Reddyhough continued though, passing 50 and making a win by tea look highly likely. With 5 minutes to go till tea, 19 runs were needed and Chris Beales took 18 from a James Gear over, before Reddyhough hit the winning runs. Innings of BuckinghamLarge* c Thuava b Wilson 26 L.

Twyford won the toss and elected to field.

Great Brickhill 2nd XI vs Buckingham Town 3rd XIBob Hutt writes:Top of the table Buckingham Town 3rds drew their match against third in the table Great Brickhill 2nds. Town without Helps, injured, probably for the rest of the season elected to field first after skipper Ian Wilkinson won the toss. Brickhill with a particularly strong side after losing an early wicket scored freely to race to a massive 278-5 from 44 overs. G. McDonald was in fine form with 130 well supported by T. Turner(63), N. Cadman(34) and J. Blackwell(25). For Town Steve Brunning did well with 2-53 and Matt Dipple picked up 2-48. Town were restricted when bowler Chris Colbourn was injured after just two overs. Town made a steady start through A.Johnson(22) and N. Norman(12) but John Talbot next in batted superbly scoring 131. Useful runs came from Matt Dipple 36n.o. and Anant Peshavaria(19) as Town closed on 241-4 a respectable reply against a very strong Brickhill side. Innings of Great Brickhill 2nds
