Not too many games to go at today with quite a few rain offs on this day over the years, so a slightly shorter edition than has been the norm of late, welcome news to some I'm sure!
11 June 2006
A couple of games to kick us off, starting with the Sunday 1sts away at Cutthorpe. The home side won the toss and batted first and I have memories of fielders lined up next to the car park as Asadullah Butt was reverse sweeping it over their heads for a few sixes. Cutthorpe made a decent first innings score of 217/9 from their 40 overs. CACC got off to a poor start to the run chase and were therefore always behind the rate. Despite a half-century from the skipper Rich coming in at number 7, we ended up all out for 188 trying to catch up at the end.

Meanwhile the Sunday 2nds fared better at home to Clipstone. Bowling first we managed to bowl them out for just 122, unfortunately the fall of wickets isn't on there but judging by the late flurry of ducks, I reckon we might be looking at another batting collapse. Wickets were shared around but Clark's 4/11 are the standout figures. We took our time with the run chase, eventually knocking them off in 34 overs with Barry Eke guiding us through, finishing with 66*.

Always an entertaining trip away to Blackwell on Sunday, a ground that holds the world record 9th wicket stand of 283, in a game between Derbyshire and Warwickshire in 1910. On this day CACC batted first and a 65-run opening stand between Dan and Si set us up for a decent first innings total of 184 with decent contributions all the way down.
We would need as many runs as we could get as it appears that we were short on bowling with Locky the first choice option. Luckily we were able to pick up regular wickets and Blackwell ended up bowled out for 109, giving CACC a comfortable 75 run victory.

A high scorer for the Sunday 1sts at home to Eastwood. CACC won the toss, batted first and a quick 50 from Coops took us to 79/2 with a good platform to build on. This was then followed by a 221-run unbeaten partnership between Nick Tye and Dave Rodgers to take us up to 300/2 at the end of the 40 overs. Dave finished with 131* off just 77 balls, including 18 fours and 5 sixes, Nick ending up 104* off 100 balls, with 12 fours and 1 six.
Eastwood were up for making a good fist of the run chase, and there are some good strike rates on their batting card but they were ultimately unable to keep up with the required rate, falling short at 249/7. Mahesh picking up 3 wickets in his second spell after taking some early punishment opening up.

Another honourable mention to finish in a rained off game from 10 years ago, when Eliot opened the batting and finished with 113 at home to Cuckney in a total of 222/5. Unfortunately the game was abandoned in just the 2nd over of the 2nd innings so CACC were unable to finish the job.
Back next week for more, and look out midweek for another player interview if possible.
