Hertingfordbury CC 2nd XI v Flamstead II on Sat 19 Jun 2010 at 1.00
Hertingfordbury CC Lost By 2 Wkts

Match report Another home fixture for the 2's on fete day meant we had to play this game at a freezing OA's ground and on a mat. I duly lost the toss and we were inserted. We lost the customary early wicket, Del-boy, looking to play himself in, missed a slog sweep off the openers first ball and was bowled. The lively Inman bowled well from the other end and had us struggling at 20ish for 3. Marcus joined me and the rebuilding work began, I eventually departed for 40, to the unlucky Gray, bringing Simon to the crease. Simon was batting at the unusual position of 6 as he was "laying some track" when the first collasped occured. An excellent partnership ensued taking us pass the 170 mark, Marcus was the first to go for a patient, well-timed 44. He was followed next ball by Simon, in a exactly the same fashion, for a typically chanceless 65. The innings closed on 189-7.
In reply Flamstead started patiently and we struggled to make inroads, the Flamstead openers began to look comfortable and runs were easy to come by. The first wicket eventually fell with the score 100-ish thanks to a mis-hit Ambler full toss! After some encouragement form the skipper the fight back began and we began to take wickets at regular intervals, unfortunately we left ourselves with a little too much to do and Flamstead squeezed home with 2 wickets and 5 balls to spare. If we could have gotten the first wicket a little earlier it may have been a different story. Everyone bowled pretty well on a difficult track but the pick of the bowler was Kevin finishing with 3-45 - about time he took some wickets!!
