Bishop’s Hull v Timberscombe May 9 2009
Timberscombe put Bishop’s Hull in on a lively looking wicket. So it
was to prove as wickets fell on a regular basis on a day when ball
dominated bat. Hoddinott was the pick of the Bishop’s Hull batting his
positive approach enabled him to hit his way to 19. Bowlers Rob Golding
and Will Giblett used the conditions well and worked their way steadily
through the Bishop’s Hull batting line up, they were ably backed up by
Ben Bowman.
In reply Timberscombe’s batsmen found the going no easier and found
themselves losing wickets at key moments. Well taken catches and
accurate bowling, especially by England and Holman made the going
tough.
Paul Sparks was the only batsmen to show any kind of sustained
resistence. He battled his way to 46 before being the last man out. The
innings ended with the visitors 29 runs short.
