Match report:
The CCC season kicked off with a real nail-biter against Essex 2nd XI at The County Ground in Chelmsford.
With some light drizzle in the air, Essex won the toss and opted to field on what looked a very decent wicket. The opening attack of Tymal Mills and Maurice Chambers would give most pro batters the hurry up and both bowlers struck a blow each to have the CCC at a precarious 20 for 2. From there, aided by some wayward bowling and some solid partnerships, the CCC moved along at a very healthy run-rate and at 133-4, had laid a platform from which to post a very competitive total. The mainstay of the CCC innings was Aaron West who had looked extremely comfortable until a reverse sweep off Tom Craddock’s leg-spin brought about his downfall for 41. Soon after CCC’s captain, Wes Morrick, who was otherwise playing a superb cameo, was out in identical fashion for a 38-ball 47. This was the catalyst in the CCC being bowled out for 201 and committing the most cardinal of all sins in one-day cricket by leaving 6 overs unused.
In reply, after Chowdhury had bowled Saif Imitaz for a duck, it looked as though Essex may make short shrift of their reply. Browne and Sole pounced on anything offline and the boundaries were being clattered with some regularity. Morrick bought himself on to bowl in an attempt to stem the tide and had immediate success dismissing both batsmen. From here, small but valuable partnerships were being broken with timely efficiency to the point where Essex were 9 wickets down and still needing 31 more runs for victory. Essex Academy scholar, Aron Nijjar then played an innings that showed great maturity and composure and with excellent support from number 11, Thomas Moore, guided Essex to victory.
A fantastic match starts what promises to be a busy but hugely rewarding CCC Representative season.
