Dead Rubber Defeat For Third Team

The toss was won by the hosts and they decided to bat. Taplow were 231 all out from 41 overs with James Darraugh the pick of the bowling with his 6-43 taken from his six overs including two wickets in two ball as the leg spinner teased the batsmen with bounce and spin. The wicket also played it’s part with some indifferent bounce causing wicket-keeper Josh Camm some tricky moments.

The Third Team’s batting started poorly with regularly wickets falling and only flickered through the veteran Alan Sheppard and captain Mark Bater who shared a 70 run partnership. Eventually the Third Team were bowled out for 155, which was disappointing considering the run of results that the Third Team had in final weeks of the summer.
