11.8.2018 March Report - ODCC 3XI v Brackley 2XI
The 3rds last ‘home’ match of the season was played at Didcot’s new ground at Great Western Park on Sat 11th Aug against Brackley 2nds. The captain duly lost the toss again (13 out of 15 this season!) and Downs were asked to bat, something the first few of us then forgot to do as we quickly fell to 17-5 after 8 overs.
What then followed was a mixture of extremely classy batting from Toby Collins and some dogged blocking by Warren Sheehan, Mat Bowden and Stuart Cope with a handy 19 from Dan Cook.
Toby was eventually out in the 44th over for a magnificent 110, including 17 4s. We finished on 173-9 from our 45 overs. Given the conditions we felt a score of 130 would be competitive, so were delighted with where we ended up. In damp, gloomy conditions and with rain expected we aimed to keep things tight and build pressure on the Brackley batsmen. Peter Bello and Swiley bowled superbly, taking wickets steadily.
At 17-3 from 14 overs, Brackley’s chances of mounting a challenge were gone and we knew the intermittent rain presented the biggest barrier to us winning. After a break for rain with the score on 45-7 from 26 overs, we could only manage a further 15 minutes of play in deteriorating conditions but were unable to claim further wickets.
A winning draw netted us 18 points and although we have dropped one place to 4th in the division, we are only 10 points behind 2nd placed Challow, with three very winnable fixtures remaining.
