Thame Town Cricket Club beats struggling Burnham
THAME produced three excellent sessions of cricket to eclipse a Burnham team that needs to rapidly improve to avoid any thoughts of relagation.
Thame were invited to bat and got off to an excellent start with some fine batting from Manog Parmar(82) and 15 year old Michael Beard (64).
On a difficult pitch Parmar and Beard laid the foundation for a magnificent 241 with a partnership of 135 for the first wicket. With the middle order all pitching in with useful contributions, Thame set what was to be a formidable target of 241.
In reply Burnham could not find any momentum on a pitch that wasn?t getting any easier on the batsman. Merry(5-58) and Lachlan (4-41) were supported by some excellent catching and in particular some very tidy work from Mitty behind the stumps.
Burnham stuggled to come to terms with the accurate Thame attack and lost wickets at regulat intervals to finish 111 all out in the 37th over.
