Totteridge Millhillians Cricket Club 2nd XI v Rickmansworth on Sat 22 May 2010 at 1:00pm
Totteridge Millhillians Cricket Club Lost by 5 wickets

Match report Rizwan and Aniket's efforts in vain...

On the warmest day of the year, TM2s having lost premier strike bowlers Imran Khan and Nozmul Hussain hours before the game, won the toss and elected to bat on what looked like a flat lifeless track.

With only 10 players it was our good fortune that Roger Luck came to watch....and then found himself dragooned into the 2s and putting on whatever whites were available.

After the loss of Vivek for 7, Aniket and Joe Askham settled down to blunt the visitors new ball attack. Joe was his usual belligerent self and mixed watchfulness with aggression in the right order to score a quickfire 33, Sarfraz Ahmed (46)and Hasan Ali(28) provided wonderful support to the classy Aniket who moved serenely on to a sublime , unbeaten 81 and thereby carrying his bat for 51 overs and leading the team to a total of 259-7.

Stand in skipper Rizwan decided that on this corpse of a track , spin should be the order of the day and commenced with Arun M and Yasir Khan twirling the old ball , unfortunately a combination of dropped catches and wayward deliveries meant the opposition were 90-0 in the 15th over.

Taking the new ball in the 16th over, Rizwan (11.2-1-49-5) immediately made a double breakthrough with two wickets in two balls , unfortunately the depletion of the 2s bowling attack manifested itself in little support from the other end and despite Rizwan taking a further three wickets it was a forlorn effort on a frustrating day as Rickmansworth chased down the total with six overs to spare.

The gaining of 15 valuable points eased the pain of loss a little and means we keep pace with the promotion hunters.
