Tillingham v Little Baddow Cricket Club Saturday Ist XI on Sat 29 Jul 2006 at 1.30pm
Little Baddow Cricket Club Won 6 wickets
Fielding first and with the welcome return of Stuart from injury, all of the bowlers put in a decent performance to restrict Tillingham to 167 in their 45 overs. Chapman (61) and Roland (45) were the only contributions of note and both were dropped early on. Had the chances been taken, it's likely we would have been chasing an even lower score. Tom finished with 4-30 from 12 good overs.
In reply, some personal circumstances forced a change to the order (get well soon Natalie). Despite the loss of 3 relatively cheap wickets, we were well up with the required rate and always in control. When makeshift opener Charlie was 4th man out for a fine 54 with the score on 124, the game was almost over especially with the middle order of Mickey, Brad and Calvin still to come. Mickey and Brad made short work of the remaining runs, adding 42 in just 5 overs to secure a comfortable win in the 24th over.
