Watford Town II v Totteridge Millhillians Cricket Club 3rd XI on Sat 07 Aug 2010 at 1:00pm
Match was Abandoned after the first innings

Match report A very dissatisfying game for all sorts of reasons, most notably because it wasn't, ultimately, a game at all, with the rain putting paid to any home of TMCC ramming home their first innings advantage.

I've not started a league game with only 7 players before, so this was a first, and it didn't do the club much credit.

Fortunately a full complement was achieved before long, and Tony worked his magic to get rid of 3 of the top 4 batsmen in no time at all. Nick Hughes weighed in as his impromptu opening partner, with Kamlesh taking the first of two caught behinds. The first rain interval arrived with the home team on 35-4 off 13 overs. The squall eventually passed, with Watford sportingly working hard to give the game every chance of carrying on on a very wet square.

When we did continue, wickets did keep falling, Shahrukh and PK taking over the destructive roles, and Shiyam bowled well in his last game before his return to Sri Lanka. At 80-odd for 9 we had the game by the scruff of the neck, but some premature relaxation in the field and a bad misjudgement at long off by the skipper gave their final pair the chance to add some useful runs and, crucially, use up time in the match.

When the 41 over innings finished at 135-9, we still felt we were in with a great chance, but someone somewhere had other ideas - the heavens opened, we ran out of time and the game was abandoned. How sad.

The 3s did manage to use this to increase their buffer over the relegation spots, but another win or two from the final 4 games will be vital to ease the nerves.
