British Police won by 58 runs
Celebrating their 40th anniversary, the Police won the toss and decided to bat. CCC, under captain Daniel Yarnley (Chessington), threw the ball to Abhishek Kulkarni (Stanmore) 1-51, and Ed Wharton (Horsey CC) 3-56 from his allotted 10 overs, who had a good opening spell with good carry to his brother Richard, behind the stumps, and was rewarded with the first wicket. In his second spell he was fortunate to have two towering hits with the deep well caught by Ravi Panchal (Stanmore CC), who later picked up a third towering catch. Waqas Hussain (Slough CC) was brought into the attack and soon had a wicket caught behind from a ball which appeared to leave the right hander. Michael Payne (Tring CC) bowling his off spinners (1-48) showed his experience in two good spells. Gurveer Singh (Henley CC), a last minute replacement, bowled his 10 over spell capturing one wicket with his left arm spinners, and a very good change of pace and a good arm ball.
Sajid Ali from Farnham Royal opened for the CCC with Tim Handel (East Molesey) and between them put on 61 for the first wicket. Ali particularly showing good aggression to compose 37 when was first to go. Tim Handel showing that his winter move of clubs is having the desired effect. Richard Wharton certainly looked compact until he was done by a quicker ball and caught behind off spinner, Morris. Ahmed Elech was going well when he was dragged down by spinner Davies and stumped – same for Michael Payne, but give credit to the British Police spinners who dominated the CCC innings. Skipper Yarnley battled with skills of higher position than no.7, but then again you often do that when you are captain.
195 all out represented a disappointing result against British Police, who played their cricket very well.
- Bill Bigmore, 7/6/13.
