Ticknall Cricket Club Ticknall CC 1st XI v Stainsby Hall CC 1st XI on Sat 20 Jun 2009 at 13.30
Ticknall Cricket Club Won by 8 wickets

Match report Once again Ticknall won the toss and elected to bowl first against visitors Stainsby Hall. Ticknall's pace attack of Shahid Khan (0-29), Sam Jubber (5-68), Graham Chamberlain (2-22) and Ryan Cowley (2-29) used the hard, bouncy track to their advantage taking Stainsby from 43-0 off 11 overs to 81-6 in the 24th over ably supported by some good catching in the field (7 catches in match). Unfortunately Ticknall then let Stainsby "off the hook" by not being ruthless - there was a Captain's dilemna as Ticknall were behind the over rate which meant that Ticknall turned to 2 slow bowlers to bowl in tandem to catch-up - and which allowed Stainsby to play themselves back into the game finishing their innings on 212 for 9 off their 50 overs.

After the break Ticknall opened their innings with the regulars of Luke Harvey (115*) and Jonathan Thompstone (49) who batted sensibly and put on a fine partnership of 128 before Thompstone departed. Captain Harvey continued to display excellent discipline throughout his unbeaten innings and recorded Ticknall's first individual century of the season off 109 balls in 114 minutes. Khan (26*) helped Harvey take the hosts score to 218-2 off 35.5 overs to register a convincing 8 wicket win.

This was a much improved bowling performance by Ticknall's pace attack and headways made in the fielding with only 25 extras (20 bowling, 5 fielding) being given away and with the home team taking 7 catches. The noise level in the field was slightly better but there is still much room for improvement in this area of Ticknall's game. The batting continues to improve with every match too. Ticknall have started to string some wins together and must continue to do so if they wish to give themselves the chance to catch the leaders and gain promotion this season.
