Didcot CC 2nds vs Buckingham

Didcot 2nds started their season at the shiny new rebuilt Field of Dreams.Hopes and expectations were high.Captain Viraj won the toss and elected to bat on what was a dull grey and damp first Saturday in May.The calendar may say it was May but it felt more like February.Conditions were tailor made for seam bowling but with the Cherwell league points system as it is batting first was the only option.To say what followed was a disaster is an early contender for understatement of the season.Probably no need to include the gory details here.Didcot were all out for 52 with only Brad and Ross reaching double figures.Buckingham knocked off the runs in quick time.Rob Keat was the pick of the bowlers taking the only wicket to fall.He should had an another but Prasad dropped a relatively straight forward chance at gully.Tea which followed after the game was fantastic what with three different choices of home made cakes.If only we spent as much time at the crease as eating the tea we could have reached a respectable score.Kimble 2's is the next game surely there is only way the team can go.
