Thame draw with Thatcham: 10/05/08
A PARTNERSHIP of 35 runs but more importantly 50 minutes between Rob Brooks and Mitchell Meredith conspired to save the match for Thame in a nail biting finish.
Earlier in the day Thame won the toss and asked Thatcham to bat. Both Merry and Lachlan ran in hard but bowled with little fortune. Thatcham progressed to lunch on 86-2 on a wicket that the batsmen had to work hard on.
After the break Thame took the pace off the ball and turned to the experience of skipper Brooks in the belated absence of the new overseas, Jaydepp Bhatti, who failed to travel on Thursday due to personal reasons. Brooks bowled an accurate and patient spell to finish with figures of 6-32 off of 16 overs as Thatcham were bowled out for 194 in 59 overs.
In reply, Thame suffered too many early set backs to challenge, what proved to be a very good total, on a wicket that seemed to be doing more. Accurate spells from Skipper Harland and Naqui both took wickets and ripped the heart out of the Thame top order. As Thame battled hard to save the game through Brooks(43 not out), Thatcham turned to spin, Bird finishing with 3-16 from 11 overs.
Thame 9 points Thatcham 14
