Match report
The 3XI travelled to Abberton for a match against a strong Essex side. The wicket had patches of dampness so it was no real surprise that Abberton won the toss and decided to bowl first. Andy Francis and Neil Clark started brightly and scored quickly in the first 10 overs. However, overs 10-20 saw the run rate begin to decline and Francis was the first to go as he was LBW for 19. Mick Saunders was unlucky to face a delivery early on his innings that popped off the surface and hit the shoulder of his bat. The ugliest of the Taylor’s (James) in the physical and batting stroke making sense joined Clark and together they began to establish a reasonable partnership. Neil Clark was back to his best as he swept and pulled his way to one of his best innings in several years. Clark was eventually out for 67. Taylor took up the run scoring responsibilities and showed an improvement in his personal form. Taylor was run out for 53 off the last ball of the innings. Mildenhall’s total of 163 was not an imposing one but was a great improvement considering recent batting troubles. For the home side Scott was the key bowler with 3 wickets off 12 overs for 40 runs.
Abberton started well with experienced pair Grant and Abrey making life difficult and frustrating for the Mildenhall bowlers. Andy Zajac struck eventually by removing Abrey for a pretty horrible 35. It was horrible in the sense of his ability to play shots that are much not included in the James Taylor coaching manual. I personally don’t like to see what I would term as pure ‘scunges’ through fine leg off inside edges. I accept that runs are runs but I prefer to see runs scored in a slightly more Emma Watson (pretty) fashion. Grant however was more difficult to remove. He took the sensible approach to chasing down the runs required. Gabe Jones eventually dismissed Grant for 68. Best batsman in the league (according to such an esteemed judge as yours truly) was dismissed to a self-professed wonder catch by Zajac. After taking the catch Zajac felt the need to scream ‘What a catch, lads, what a catch!!’ Andy, to quote my friend Martin Taylor…’We will be the judge of that – and not you’. Abberton reached their target for the loss of four wickets. The wickets were shared between Zajac, Jones, Ellis and Cameron Francis. Despite the result the performance was much improved from the 3XI and the team look forward to another away match next week against fellow strugglers Hadleigh.
