BCCC v Nomads CC   - lost by 5 runs

Firstly, a big thank you to Claudia and Andrew for overseeing the teas.  A very good selection enjoyed by all who appreciate the finer things in life.

A vote taken after the match unanimously elected Claudia to be offered the position of Tea Director.  Personally, I cannot see what else could be a more pleasing and satisfying experience for Claudia than serving 22 slightly worse for wear cricketers on a lovely sunny summer's day and hearing our satisfied burps as we head back to the square with smiles on our faces to wreak havoc on the opposition players.  As they say, the decision is yours Claudia.

And also a big thank you to Mo and Anthony for turning up early to help mark the pitch and set up of the boundary markers.

Continental, our ground contractors, had neither cut nor marked the pitch, let alone cut the grass on the outfield.  If Graeme and I had not cut the strip on Friday as best we could with our hand held mowers there would definitely have been no match on 
Sunday.

Nomads 204 in 35 overs,  BCCC 199 all out in 34 overs .  BCCC lost by 5 runs !!

First match report of the domestic season.  BCCC having conquered Rome were bought down to earth by the travelling Nomads side on a barmy April afternoon.

The Two Beri's - senior and junior - combination worked well again.  With Beri senior doing most of the talking and Junior doing most of the scoring!!

BCCC  lost the toss once again and were put in to field on a hard but very green strip and overgrown outfield.  Nomads started slowly losing their 1st wicket for 10 runs in the 4th over, a sharp catch taken by yours truly at short cover off the bowling of Anthony.  Sid and Massey steadied their innings after Sid was dropped early on at square leg to put on 90 runs for the 3rd wicket before the ever reliable bowler, who has nearly mastered the art of a well disguised slower ball, came on to bowl and outfoxed both these bats to have Nomads down to 94 for 3 off 18 overs. Shawl took up the reins and lofted our spinners all over for a quick 51. Nik and Anthony bowled good opening and closing overs but unfortunately in the middle overs 2 of our bowlers  got hit all over the park and in their 6 overs they gave away 69 runs !!! Maybe one over too many !! Nik ended up with 7 -1-18 -2 , Anthony 6-0-22-1 , Mo - 7-0-34-0 . Sanjay - 4--0-16-2 . Yogi - 3-0-16-2 . Arun - 2-0-16-1 . Adi -3-0-43-0.  Imran - 3-0-26-0. 

After the lovely tea break, BCCC started to bat in a slight drizzle and were quickly reduced to 34 for 4 off 11 overs !!! Yogi, Nik, Andrew and Sanjay went cheaply.  Andrew was moved up the order to show us what he could do but unfortunately was given caught behind for nought !!! Maybe next time. 

Kiran, after a cautious start, a bit like his Dad's innings, started taking a liking to a few of the Nomads bowlers and finally started hitting the ball all over the park.  Ably supported by Anthony at the other end they put Barnes back on track with the run rate and put on over 130 runs for the 6th wicket.  Kiran before being caught out for 102 nearly put one of the Nomads players out of business when he hit a full blooded shot to short midwicket and luckily for the player he managed to get his hand between his body and the ball otherwise it would have turned quite nasty if his hand had not come in the way !! 
A great 2nd 100 for Kiran consisted of fourteen 4's and one 6.  Barnes in the end lost by 5 runs when Anthony was out for a very well constructed 46 as the remaining 4 bats only managed to score 6 runs between themselves.

Over 400 runs were scored on a very thick and overgrown outfield.  I think if the outfield was cut properly, over 500 runs could easily have been scored on the day.

Man of the match - Kiran for his 2nd century of the season.  A great knock under pressure as BCCC were 34 for 4 off 11 overs at one stage until Anthony and Kiran nearly bought us home. Took a bit longer to score his 100 this time compared to Rome as he took 48 balls this time !!! 

Catches  of the match -  have to give it to Alex, our extremely active , athletic and a thoroughly good sport for running from one cow corner to the opposite cow corner without  breaking into a sweat and for taking two crucial catches.  

Shots of the match - there were quite a few from both Kiran and Anthony.  But Kiran's one handed 6 over cow corner was quite impressive.
