Match report Old firm help secure first victory...

On a warm and humid day, Noz and Riz ensured the TM 2s picked up maximum points against newly promoted Div 4 Champions Wheathampstead on a sticky Rowley lane track with one of the highlights being the debut performance of hat trick hero Noman Ilyas.

Having won the toss the visitors had no hesitation in electing to field, perhaps they knew we only had two genuine batsman to call on given the late week cry offs. Saf and PK opened the innings and the latter immediately tucked into the bowling scoring 12 off the first over with three boundaries. However a rush of blood by PK in the 4th over led to a shimmy down the track and with the keeper standing up....the inevitable stumping followed.

The rest of the top order followed meekly and with the score on 49-5 the 2s were in familiar territory. It was at this juncture that Noz and Riz decided to take the attack to the opposition and a quickfire 40 run partnership ensued but just as things began to settle, it was ended by the tame dismissal of the skipper chipping a catch to mid on.

Noz (52)however was not to be denied and continued to hammer the opposition attack to all parts bringing up a well deserved and crucial half century....next ball, out. It was then left to debutants Selvam and Noman to continue playing their shots, Noman in particular impressing with a couple of wonderfully struck maximums.

The TMs innings finally came to an end in the 29th over with the score on 143 and an indication of the approach taken was that all but 15 of the 143 runs came in boundaries, apparently running between wickets is soooo 2010.

With Riz confident that tea was not quite ready , the TMs immediately took to the field and had a 40 minute passage of play to prise some wickets.

The 'new'...new ball pairing of Selvam and Noman (10-3-30-3)bowled well without luck, however with the clock ticking to the 4pm scheduled tea Noman finally struck with the final ball of his 4th over, a wicketless over followed from the other end and Noman began the final over before tea.

First ball, again cleaned bowled , now on his hat trick and the field closed in the young tyro speared in a yorker and to the delight of his team mates had his 3 in 3 with an lbw.

Tea was taken at the fall of the third wicket and the TMs were beginning to feel a little better about themselves. At the resumption of play they continued to apply the pressure with Rizwan grabbing a brace in addition to a run out.

The Wheathampstead lower order then showed similar recuperative powers as the home team but the recovery was soon terminated by a crucial run out effected by Noz at square leg. Rizwan (7-1-27-4) and Waqar Ali (4.3-1-15-1) then cleaned up the tail and the TMs ran out winners by 28 runs.

With plenty of new faces in the 2s it seems the more things change.....the more they stay the same!
