Thatcham Town Cricket Club Thatcham 1XI- Saturday v MARLOW on Sat 12 May 2007 at 1.30pm
Thatcham Town Cricket Club Won by 5 wickets

Match report Thatcham Town CC opened their league campaign with a convincing five wicket win over Marlow CC.

Thatcham won the toss and elected to bat, on a day where play was expected to be broken due to rain. Surprisingly play was uninterrupted. Andy Harland and Jaime Bishop opened the attack, Marlow found the boundary early before losing a wicket in the 5th over for 25. Harland was punished for some loose early bowling both sides of the wicket. However Bishop bowled a very tight spell conceding just 17 in his 10 over spell and picking up two vital wickets.

Brendan Trump joined the attack replacing Harland and picked up the vital wicket of Aslam. This brought Hudson and Haq together with the score at 53-4. They formed a vital partnership and punished some bowling of varied width. However Duncan Johnson and Nick Bishop tightened their line and Johnson managed to remove Haq to reduce Marlow to 106-5, Hudson continued to do some further damage before Johnson removed Dickensen to leave Marlow struggling at 146-6 Johnson and Bishop maintained the pressure and closed out the innings for 150, with Bishop taking 2 wickets and Johnson an impressive four.

Thatcham started brightly in reply, facing the old ball. Rakesh Patel (15) and James Ettridge (26) both batting positively until Ettridge fell for 26 and Patel followed shortly reducing Thatcham to 45-2. Daniel Stone (9) and Steve Wyatt (16) continued in the same positive vein, but both found the going tough on a pitch that was not the easiest to bat on. Again falling in quick succession reducing Thatcham to 79-4. Bringing Duncan Johnson (40*) and debutant Drew McKenzie to the crease, Johnson was in fine form, punishing anything loose or full. McKenzie fell early to a great catch from Haq. Robb Fraser (21*) came to the crease with Thatcham in a bit of a sticky patch on 104-5, however Fraser batted sensibly to support Johnson and see the side home to deserved victory.
