Buckingham Town Cricket Club - July 26th 2008Buckingham Town vs FinchampsteadAndrew Holland writes:Town bounce back to go fifth!The sun was out as Buckingham prepared for their game with Finchampstead. Having won by 9 wickets when the sides met earlier in the season, Buckingham were hoping for a quick response to a poor performance the previous week. Rob Large won the toss and inserted Finchampstead. It took till the 4th over for Dewayne Bowden to find a breakthrough, as he removed both openers in the space of 4 balls. He then picked up his third wicket in the 8th over and the score was 18-3. Scott Patterson and Sam Taylor began to rebuild the innings. Patterson did the majority of the run scoring as he dealt mainly in boundaries. The two of them added 65 in the space of an hour, and home side looked under pressure. Taylor was caught behind 25 minutes before lunch off the bowling of Greg Pearson for 14 which triggered a collapse. Patterson reached his 50 before being caught at cover as the score slid to 100-7 at lunch, Pearson claiming 4 wickets.Matt Harper was the main stay after lunch. Nick Woodroffe offered some support with 22 before being bowled by Leo Churms. The last two batsmen also gave some resistance while Harper continued. Ben Stafford came on and picked up the last two wickets to end the innings 186 all out. Harper made 43 not out. In response Buckingham slid to 25-2 when both openers were out cheaply. Dewayne Bowden followed a few overs later for 10 and the game was evenly poised. Jonny Cater and Dan Harris came to the wicket, and although a few half chances occurred the two of them got through to tea with the score on 87-3, with 100 runs to win. 22 runs were scored in 3 overs after tea, but just as the game was looking comfortable for Buckingham, Harris was lbw off the spin of Nick James for 26. Cater was then run out in the next over for 43 when the batsmen attempted a needless single, and the score was 114-5. Stuart Parker contributed 16 before he went too. Greg Pearson and James Gear came together in a similar situation to two weeks previous, needing 50 to win with wickets falling. Both reached the 20s as got the total past 170. The return of Darron Augustus removed both of them though, before Ben Stafford struck 2 fours to win the game by 2 wickets with 8 balls to go, and move up to fifth in the table.
