Kew v Thatcham Town Cricket Club Thatcham 1XI- Saturday on Sat 15 May 2010 at 1.30pm
Thatcham Town Cricket Club Lost by 57 runs

Match report A stunning Ali Naqvi bowling display was not enough to save Thatcham from a disappointing defeat at Kew on Saturday.
Bowling first on a heavily grassed wicket, Thatcham struggled to contain Kew openers Friedrichs and Maier as they raced to 50 off just 8 overs thanks to a combination of aggressive hitting and some indifferent early bowling. Things were looking ominous, but when Naqvi bowled Maier for a quickfire 27, not even the most optimistic of Thatcham players could have predicted what was to come. A sharp Danny Williams catch saw Kew skipper Mistry depart without adding to the total before danger man Friedrichs followed shortly after. Naqvi was now proving almost unplayable as the Kew middle order had no answer to his pace and movement and 50 without loss rapidly became 85 for 7. With Thatcham now seemingly in complete control, Kew had to dig deep and tail enders Brett-Bowen (28*) and Foster (25) began to gradually rebuild towards a total. As the partnership developed, Thatcham became increasingly frustrated, with Jason Williams in particular finding little luck, and by the time Naqvi eventually took wickets 8 and 9, Kew had battled their way to a competitive score. Chris Bird (1-22) denied Naqvi (9-49) his clean sweep and with Kew closing on 162, it was definitely an opportunity missed by the visitors.
Thatcham’s response started badly as Danny Williams was controversially caught behind in just the second over and promising starts from Dan Stone (10) and Paul Jenkins (15) failed to develop into big scores. When Naqvi (22) was dismissed by the impressive Kidron Thomas (5-35) it was Thatcham’s turn to lose quick wickets as they soon slumped to 84 for 8. There was unfortunately to be no repeat of the Kew innings as Maier (4-22) swept through the tail to see Thatcham dismissed for a disappointing 105.
