Match report:
CCC: 200 all out (39.1 overs)
Kent: 206 for 4 wkts (38 overs
Kent won by 6 wkts
A flat hard track. The sun's blazing down, and you win the toss. Perfect. Let's bat. It's probably a 240/250 wicket, so lets make hay while the sun shines. The opening partnership was Walford and West, both from Brentwood. Runs were easier to score from the bowling of Shaw, but Hartley was more miserly, until his final, nine run, over. The introduction of MacVicker saw Walford immediately bowled, and Slough's Waqar Hussain pottered; most unlike him. A few overs from Kemp, and neither batter was able to significantly advance the score. Hussain made little of the spin of Cowdrey, and departed while Aaron West reached his fifty, and steered the CCC past the hundred mark, but with 20 of the forty overs used up, hopes for a large total, faded. Yet again a bowling change caused the immedate loss of a wicket, this time West was bowled by Pickering, swiftly followed by Ahmad Elech, caught by Favian Cowdrey, an very busy captain indeed. Waltham's Tanweer Sikandar and Will Stickler from Tunbridge Wells batted well togehter but runs were mainly restricted to singles, and Kent continued to ring the bowling changes, taking a wicket here and there. Sikandar broke out of the straight jacket with several boundaries before offering a fatal catch, and with a few attempted lusty blows from Wes Morrick the CCC stuttered up, but did not pass 200.
An Excellent repast was enjoyed by all, before the start of the Kent innings. Williams more than Lilley, was busy at the crease. Lilley settled down to bat through. When Maruf Chowdhury ran out Williams it came as a surprise, and the only way, so far, that the CCC looked like taking a wicket. With the arrival of captain Cowdrey, Lillay became more aggressive, as was the running between the wickets. Sharp singles were frequently taken and often one became two, while Cowdrey also acquired several boundaries. Left arm spin, two varieties, bowled most of these middle overs, and when a boundary was not on offer Cowdrey was happy to play "inventive shots" to keep the score ticking along. The occasional slog sweep being used as an alternative to the reverse lap or reverse sweep. At the other end the now very active Lilley was running three's to pass his half century, before succumbing to Ealing's Ahmad Elech, rapidly followed by his captain, stumped from the bowling of Qayyum. MacVicar, who was the pick of the Kent bowlers, now proved his allround abilities by scoring a rapid thirty two, to leave no doubts about the result.
Kent deservedly won by six wickets, with time to spare
