Match report against Baggie's 1st XI fixture against Burnham 2's

So we finally buried the hoodoo against a quality overseas bowler and also never winning away at Burnham in this division.
Toss duly won in 30 degree sun we batted first but lost Chris second ball to a Waqar inswinger, imminent birth of Hollely jnr no2 no doubt on his mind and much more of a priority. Willo and JG settled things down before another jaffa clipped the top of Willows off stump and at 31-2 things were in balance. Mikey joined Jack and began to slowly build partnership and took us to second drinks break at 34 overs two down for 126. The last 16 overs saw a masterclass in running between wickets as Jack and Mikey put on a magnificent 216 for the third wicket before Mikey was bowled for 97. Rummage joined Jack who had reached his maiden league century and clubbed 19 off six balls with James B and Chris Searle completing the innings as we declared on 276-5 off fifty overs, 150 coming in last sixteen overs.

We set about the task of collecting ten wickets well Will and I took two early ones, then Mark stepped up as he has done so well recently and nabbed four with a great spell. In between Adam dismissed the dangerous left hander before we bought on young Searle who took a wicket first over and finished the match off with the tenth wicket with 12 overs to go. Three catches each for Mikey and Chris Hollely capped a fantastic team display and one of the best Bagshot performances i have ever played in, Chris and I tried to think of any better and only winning at Wokingham ones may have been better?

Hopefully a breakthrough day for the club and shows our faith we have placed in the youth and future may be paying off, definitely my proudest and happiest day as captain in the three years i have done the job.

25 points and we move a bit clearer from the bottom two with two games to go.
