Andover Cricket Club 3rd XI (Sat) v Ventnor II on Sat 29 May 2010 at 2:00pm
Andover Cricket Club Lost by 6 wickets

Match report On Sat the 29th of May Andover III's hosted Ventnor II's in a wet and windy game that had plenty of surprises to follow. Andover lost the toss and was put in to bat first with what probably will be the strongest side of the season. Due to the weather the overs were reduced to 38 per side.

Andover didnt get off to a good start at all and lost 5 wickets in the first over. The only top order batsman that stood his ground or mud shall we say was Jeremy Blackburn. After a few more overs J Blackburn received a ball on the tp of the foot and needed a runner. But with no one managing to hold their wickets in the opposite end Andover soon was on the last batsman, John Walsh. The two batsmen managed to put on a partnership of 38 before J Walsh was dismissed for 12 and J Blackburn not out on 37.

After tea Andover had their some hard work in front of them. Opening bowler Josh Clarke managed to get the first wicket in the last ball of the first over and Andover's hope grew. Three overs later J Walsh striked and bowled the other opener out and Ventnor were on 11 for 2. With another rain break and the required total dropping to 88 off 36 overs we started to think tactical. With another bowling change Dan Turner took a wicket and then followed by Dan Cope. The opposition was on 65 for 4 wickets down when the rain came once again and the target was reduced to 86 off 34 overs. Ventnor managed to get the total with 15 overs spare.

Tommorrow Andover III's travel down to Wellow and Plaitford in hope of runs and sunshine.
