Sun 24 July Warborough & Shillingford Won by 4 wkts
They: 262/3 in 39.3 overs (Tom Osborne 100*, James Tilley 69, Adrian Zagoritis 41*, Mark Roughley 1/19, Amit Shanker 1/23)
We: 263/6 in 44.3 overs (Amit Shanker 92, Preetinder Singh 61*, Andy Stokes 46, Fred Evans 30, Junaid Hassan 4/53)
All results were still possible in the final over of this match – a great advertisement for declaration cricket. A missed run out, a dropped catch and a 4 cracked over midwicket later, KCC emerged victorious. In truth, winning and losing were twin impostors. As Mark Searle warmly articulated post-match, a fantastic gastro-socio-athletic experience was had by all.
Unusually, David Behar won the toss and after judging the pitch true, the outfield fast and KCC’s bowling resources thin, inserted Warborough & Shillingford. Reprimanded for tossing with his cap on backwards, baseball-style, all was smiles when he explained it was to keep the sun off his neck, not a fashion statement. Reprimanded again by his own team for bowling first on a hot day, he had to make clear to the team that leadership is about making the right decision not the popular one.
Amit Shanker bagged Jamie Firth early, a superb low catch taken by Sid Baveja at square leg. Mark Searle and James Tilley then shared a 53-run partnership for the 2nd wicket. At 61/2, the game was evenly poised. Tom Osborne, in partnership with James Tilley, proceeded to take the game away from KCC. With strong shots all around the ground, particularly over midwicket and extra cover, Tom raced to his hundred with barely a chance offered. Once James was out for a well-paced 69, Zag added to KCC’s woes with a typically stylish 41, full of trademark deflections and cover drives, to carry W&S to an imposing total of 262. So high was the run rate, W&S were able to declare well ahead of schedule and leave themselves plenty of overs to bowl out (10 man) KCC. Not too much to write home about the KCC bowling. Freddie Evans made a solid debut and opened into the gusting wind without complaint. Of the other 6 bowlers used, only Amit and Roughers had economy rates of under 5.
That KCC managed to chase the target down was largely down to a scintillating opening stand of 126 at a little under 6 runs an over between Amit and Stokoe, one exhibiting long levers and supple wrists, the other yeoman-like heft. Preet continued the charge with his standard mix of classy drives and sweeps. Amit fell 8 runs short of a well-deserved hundred, the first wicket of a near hat-trick in the middle of our innings (3 wickets in 4 balls). The young Freddie then contributed a crucial 30 to a partnership of 66 with Preet. Mighty Sarwar, with a well-struck 4 down the ground, and Roughers, with an 8 ball 18 that included that final cracked 4 over midwicket, provided the finishing touches to the chase. Preet was up the other end, 61 not out. Junaid Hassan was the pick of the bowlers with 4 for 53 in his 10.3 overs of tricky off spin.
MoM awards were presented to Amit and Tom Osborne respectively. Both sides then repaired to the Six Bells for beers and to finish off the remains of the delicious home-made tea, the gastro-socio taking over from the athletic.

We: 185/6 in 46 overs (Jai Singh 65, Stefanos Nayar 48, Preetinder Singh 19, Jamie Firth 2/38)

Lunar landing thwarted by Iswariah
The KCC XI may have felt that there was something written in the stars after a set of morning WhatsApp messages that ensured all players arrived at 12.30pm in time for a 1pm start, apart from skipper David Behar who had seemingly arranged his own start time of 2pm with the opposition and who therefore strolled onto the green at Warborough at around 1.40pm. Perhaps the Kensington top five, the majestic Jai Singh apart, were all affected in their preparation by this uncertain start.
Whatever the reason, Matty Syddall fell for just 3, bowled by a ball that used the Warborough facilities to perfection, pitching a foot outside off stump and hitting the top of leg. Preet Singh began solidly but departed for 19 and was swiftly followed by Harsha Gandadi. At 79/3 there was a slight steadying of the mother ship by Jai Singh who continued to reach for the stars at one end, with Sarwar Chowdari’s stubborn support at the other. Meanwhile Rohan Iswariah had been peddling his wares with difficult-to-hit lobs at the far end. He had bowled almost 9 overs for just 19 runs when he lobbed one a little higher to the imperious Jai. Imperious until this moment, that is, for Jai appeared to be bamboozled by the stratosphere into which the lob had entered and once it had made its landing it slowly passed the bat and gently cannoned into the stumps. Jai was distraught after making a hard-fought 65 and marched off the pitch claiming that he had been bowled by a “moonball” that should never have been allowed to stand as a legal delivery (in truth no one really understood what he was talking about).
Stefanos Nayar filled the breach and both he and Sarwar began to rebuild the innings putting on a partnership of 73, with Stef scoring most freely and getting the team closer to a declarable total. Sarwar’s valuable occupation at the crease finally ended (17 runs in 58 balls) and was soon followed by Stef for a well-made 48. Amit Shanker hit some breezy shots to enable David to declare on 185/6. Whilst this was seen as a reasonably par score on the uncovered and therefore slightly uncertain Warborough wicket there was much to do in the field after the delights of the first “real” tea of the season (thank you, Warborough, it was truly appreciated)!
Amit and Rohan Prasad began steadily with the new ball and the first 7 overs went for just 19 runs. The pitch was undoubtedly flattening out however, as is usually the case at Warborough, and there followed an opening stand of 70 between Halvorsen and Mallik, the latter making 51 before falling to Hassan Hammad’s accurate medium pace. Hassan’s second wicket was more spectacular, a caught and bowled chance taken with aplomb to complete a promising spell of 9-1-21-2. At three wickets down, Mark Roughley having accounted for Halvorsen earlier, and with 72 runs to defend in the 14 overs remaining, KCC fancied their chances. However, Tom Osborne’s arrival at the crease signalled the difficulties ahead for Kensington. Having started slowly but nevertheless looking accomplished, Tom opened his shoulders to play the shots that began to take the game away from KCC. Skipper Behar introduced his own brand of bowling before resorting latterly to Matty and then finally Stef in attempts to get the breakthrough. Matty prised out the wicket of Aziz, but Osborne stood firm with 45 not out from just 35 balls, including 2 sixes and 6 fours, to see Warborough home to a 6-wicket victory with 4 overs to spare.
Stefanos was justly awarded the KCC MoM award for his up tempo 48 and Tom for his match-winning innings. Disappointed at missing out, the moon-struck Jai wagged his finger sternly at the bemused Iswariah, and the teams retreated to the Six Bells to discuss amongst other things the etymology of the word “lunatic”.

Sun 12 July Warborough & Shillingford Drawn
They: 185/5 in 41.4 overs (Adrian Zagoritis 49*, Marcus Ward 31, James Tilley 24, Sunil Amar 2/11, Seethal Tharakan 2/16)
We: 177/7 in 42 overs (Matt Syddall 49, Preetinder Singh 35, Stefanos Nayar 34, Junaid Hassan 3/50, Lucy Johnson 2/18)
“Yes! No! Maybe?” is a paradigm with which KCC’s finest are all too well acquainted. Yes-no-maybe also characterised the start of the cricket season in this year of Covid-19. Was the cricket ball a ‘natural vector of disease’, as Boris claimed? Could we maintain adequate social distance (and not just between bat and pad)? What about tea and post-match beers? Finally, faced with the prospect of condemning a key segment of the electorate to spending all their summer Sunday afternoons at home, a sufficiently complex set of rules was agreed, and the powers that be gave the green light for the season to commence.
And we could not have started at a nicer place than Warborough & Shillingford. Andy Stokes was given the KCC shirt along with the customary cap as he made his KCC debut, and we got a thorough briefing from our hosts on the new sanitation and social distancing protocols that were in place, complete with a live demonstration of how to run between wickets, which KCC should really have paid more attention to.
W&S won the toss and motored to 68/2 in the first 15 overs, as the effects of the lockdown’s diet and exercise habits clearly told on KCC’s opening bowlers Wajid and “Seethal-X” (the agreed hybrid of Seethal and his new name of Alex). The bowling change of Nav and Saurav failed to make much of an impression, and it finally fell to KCC to pull out its ultimate big gun – El Presidente Sunil Amar – who, supported ably by Neeraj, took 2/11 in his 8 overs. Andy Stokes took 2 good catches on debut while, for the opposition, Adrian Zagoritis was left stranded on 49* as W&S declared at 185/5.
Matt Syddall and Stefanos Nayar opened the batting for KCC, putting on 74 for the first wicket before Stef departed, caught at mid-on by a fielder who he didn’t realise was there. Matt fell for a well-made 49, but with Preetinder Singh going steady in his blue India pads (this was clearly an important game), KCC were nicely placed at the halfway mark. The famous “port effect” manifested itself even in the absence of port, as KCC showed that the lockdown had dulled none of our legendary talent for a good old middle order collapse. With 4 overs to get 22 to win and only Seethal-X and Sunil to follow, it fell to Neeraj and Saurav to bat out the draw, a befitting end to a hugely enjoyable match. Junaid Hassan (3/50) bowled almost unchanged for W&S, and was ably supported by the rest of the bowlers, particularly young Lucy Johnson who took 2/18, one of her victims being Andy Stokes – bowled for a debut duck.

Sun 7 October Warborough & Shillingford Lost by 6 wkts
We: 199/4 in 37.4 overs (Chetan Malhotra 55, Rohan Ghosh 53*, Preetinder Singh 37, Raheel Khan 24*, Lucy Johnson 1/29, Ian Potter 1/36)
They: 201/4 in 39.1 overs (John Schubach 90, Ian Potter 47, Extras 26, Tabrez Khan 2/37, Seethal Tharakan 1/29)
A new verb for the dictionary: to be Zagged – to be beguiled and bewitched by the opposition skipper to the extent that you agree with anything he suggests.
Maybe it was playing cricket in October that wrongfooted KCC skipper David or maybe it was lack of sleep after a late night, but whatever it was David was well and truly Zagged – hook, line and sinker – by opposition skipper Adrian Zagoritis, or Zag, during the course of this fixture played out under a wan autumnal sun.
Part 1 – the hook
As the 2 skippers are walking out to the middle to conduct the toss, Adrian explains to David that due to the unseasonal nature of the fixture, he has lots of his regulars missing, 3 kids playing and only 3 batsmen in his team. David ‘sportingly’ offers to bat first on a damp pitch ‘to make a game of it’.
Kensington proceed to negotiate the ensuing variable bounce creditably with only Sledge failing to make double figures. He will impact the game spectacularly in the field instead. Preet unfurls some textbook cover drives. Chetan Malhotra cuts and pulls ferociously on his way to 55 before rashly getting stumped. Ro bats with increasing authority as his innings progresses and finishes 53 not out. Lucy Johnson, a 12-year-old county cricketer, holds her own with the ball. If we’d only hit her bad balls for runs, as requested by Zag, we would have had very little to score off. Raheel Khan sets up the declaration with an elegant 24 run cameo.
Part 2 – the line
KCC reach 199/4 with 2 balls left of the 37th over and 2 set batsmen at the crease. The question for the captain is whether to push on for a further 3 or 4 overs to secure an extra 20 or 30 runs to make the run chase a bit harder, or declare early given the ‘weak’ opposition and fading light to come? With Zag’s pre-match words that a 3 o’clock tea would be well timed, David calls his batsmen in and sets Warborough a target of 200 to win.
Part 3 – the sinker
As it turns out, Warborough only require 2 of their 3 recognised batsmen to reach our target. Ian Potter sets up the chase with only a direct-hit run out from David seeing him off. The mainstay of the innings is John Schubach who plays with authority all round the wicket to score 90 before finally being bowled by the returning Tabby. Zag comes in to finish things off and Jonnie Bradshaw is not even required to bat. There are handy supporting innings from Arran Ryde and especially young Barney Mason to hold up an end and see his team home with nearly three overs to spare.
Neeraj and Tabrez apart, the KCC attack could not stem the flow of runs. Tabby’s brace – both bowled – means he ends the season as KCC’s leading wicket taker with 19. Well bowled Tabby. The champagne moment belongs to Sledger’s acrobatic wrong-handed keeper style catch over his head at mid on to remove Arran Ryde. Never in doubt, Chris.
Post-match presentations and beers at the Six Bells follow. Zag is encouraged to lead Brexit negotiations. Surely, we’ll have access to the Single Market and yet have satisfactorily exited the EU if he does. Here’s to next year.

Sun 18 June Warborough & Shillingford Won by 2 wkts
They: 197/9 in 41 overs (Adrian Zagoritis 63, Chris Ward 43, Marcus Ward 33, Sid Chhibbar 4/26, Matt Syddall 2/27)
We: 198/8 in 36.2 overs (Jai Singh 76, Matt Syddall 41, Sid Chhibbar 26*, Chris Ward 4/63, Rohan Ishwariah 2/46)
A minute silence was observed in memory of the victims of the horrific fire at Grenfell Tower in Kensington.
Stand in tosser Jamie called heads, tails came up and out into the broiling heat not seen since the summer of 76 we went. Given the conditions, David decided to mix up the bowling to minimise the chance of heatstroke. Saikat was excellent, knocking back the pegs in the first over. However, this only brought Zag, the Warborough skipper, to the crease who was soon caressing the ball through the covers seemingly at will. Matty Syddall’s leg breaks got us our breakthrough bowling the young Marcus Ward (76/2), but Zag continued on his merry way along with a dogged Iswariah. Self-appointed vice skipper, Jamie, decided to make his feelings known. A hastily convened mid-pitch conference between captain, bowler and self-appointed vice-captain went something like this:
Jamie – “Put your fielders back for Zag, get him off strike, bowl at the other fella. He wants boundaries. He’ll be frustrated and get out”. Captain and bowler – “Ok Jamie”.
As we all know, sound leadership is often about giving those under you their heads. A good captain will acknowledge correct if unsolicited advice and turn it to the team’s advantage. Matty, Sid and even the Skipper had a go at containment, and it was Sid who got our frustrated man, starved of the strike. Sid claimed 3 other scalps to be the pick of the bowlers. Some late hitting from Chris Ward and Tim Chamberlain got Warborough to a respectable 197.
Tim Keleher spliced a pull early in the chase. Then Jai and Matty set a solid 89 run foundation seeing off the dangerous Chamberlain (who in an earlier match had taken all 10 wickets). Once Matty went, for a well-made 41, wickets continued to fall but Jai stood firm. When he was fifth out for a handsome 76 the chase was well set up with 61 wanted off 9 overs. The lower order chipped in to keep the run rate up and it was left to Sid, coming in at number 9, to see us home in the last over with a classy 26 not out. There was barely an alarm apart from the inevitable succession of near run outs.

Sun 14 June Warborough & Shillingford Lost by 4 wkts
We: 144/10 in 41.4 overs (Tabrez Khan 30, Saurav Sen 28*, Matt Syddall 23, Chris Ledger 20, Alan Tilley 5/26, Chris Grogan 2/34)
They: 145/6 in 44.3 overs (Jonnie Bradshaw 64, Matt Thompson 23, Saurav Sen 2/39)
At Warborough, winning strategy is plain and simple – win the toss and bat second. Shahzeb it is not rocket science, why do you always get this one wrong!
Matt Syddall and Chris started cautiously and did well not to lose quick wickets. Unfortunately, our brave openers struggled to score freely on a very tricky, uneven wicket. The introduction of Alan Tilley, Warborough’s in-house doosra specialist slowed the innings even further. Once Chris and Matty departed with the score on 45 Nitin, Shahzeb and San did not bother the scorers a great deal. Alan wheeled away taking wickets at regular intervals. With our innings in disarray, it was left to our swashbucklers Tabby Khan, with a fighting but careful 30, and Dada (Saurav) Sen with an unbeaten 28 to give some respectability to the score. All out for a well-below par 144, but at least we had a total which we could, hopefully, defend.
As expected, the track played much better in the second innings. Even so, Saikat and Bernard tied their openers into knots conceding just 22 runs in 17 overs and missed the edge on several occasions. At 58/1 with 20 overs being called we fancied our chances. But with master blaster Jonnie Bradshaw at the crease, it became a totally different ball game. Having started carefully he later smashed our bowlers around the park for a fiery 64. It would have really helped if our fielders had held the chances when Jonnie began to accelerate. Within sight of the target he was well caught in the deep by Chris off the indefatigable Saikat. But their skipper James Tilley (15*) ensured they crossed the line with 15 balls left and 4 wickets in hand.
Next year, hopefully we will toss with our own biased coin and bat second!

Sun 15 June Warborough & Shillingford Won by 2 wkts
They: 165/4 in 41.1 overs (Jonnie Bradshaw 78, Rohan Iswariah 29, Extras 38, Amit Shanker 3/20, Matt Marshall 1/27)
We: 166/8 in 37.3 overs (Akhi Shailendra 45*, San Gore 21, Shahzeb 19, Thompson 2/9, Winch 2/32)
For some mysterious reason (was it the World Cup football scheduled for late Saturday night?) this sought-after all-day match was reduced to an afternoon game, sans the traditional lunch and port under the oak tree.
On a sluggish wicket due to mid-week rain the home team started cautiously at under 3 an over with Wajid and Khush mostly unplayable. Akhi and Matt Marshall took over the attack and it was Matty who drew first blood bowling Freddie Iswariah for 10 in a stand of 83. His dad, Rohan, joined Jonnie Bradshaw who was now finding the middle of his bat and together they built a solid platform. But the expected batting assault did not happen, despite the many outfield catches being dropped, as KCC plugged on and the overs ticked away. Finally, Jonnie’s innings ended as Akhi caught him in the deep off Amit Shanker who then picked up a further two wickets before the declaration.
166 was not a difficult target, but with the slow pitch it proved to be a challenging one as wickets began to fall at regular intervals. The cream of KCC batting appeared quite unused to the ‘sticky wicket’ conditions as the top seven batsmen crumbled to 85/7. With 12 overs to go and defeat staring us in the face, San with his experience played a captain’s innings eking out twos, and pushing singles to stay on strike to shield no.9 Akhi. But Akhi showed that he could cope too and began confidently hitting lofted drives for 5 fours and a six. 16 runs were required with 2 overs left. San was then run out in trying to give Akhi the strike. It was left to Wajid in the last over to finish the game in style with two brutish fours.

We 205/4 in 49 overs (Ajit Ramsagar 129*, San Gore 30, Matt Marshall 20, Leach 2/37)
Ominous skies and cool conditions greeted us as we arrived at the Warborough village common, in rural Oxfordshire. The forecast had looked dodgy all week, but the draw of lunch under that beautiful oak tree amidst idyllic movie-set surroundings is always strong.
The Warborough pitch is never easy to bat on, especially early in the day. A bit up and down. And very, very slow. So upon winning the toss, skipper Rohan had no hesitation in inserting the opposition. Bernard (13-5-32-1) and Saikat (12-3-22-1) opened the bowling and utilised the conditions brilliantly, conceding less than 30 in the first fifteen overs, whilst picking up a wicket. But No. 3 Bradshaw and No. 2 Leach batted with gumption, taking plenty of balls on the body off a length, playing and missing several more. Particularly Leach, who eked out nine hard-earned runs before being bowled by Khush in the 22nd over.
After a fine lunch, sadly taken indoors due to the constant drizzle, the match resumed. The sun suddenly appeared, almost instantly paralysing a well-fed KCC. Warborough wasted no time in stepping up the tempo as Gabriel and Eddy, strayed in length, clearly still getting over the shock of curry, port, plenty of wine and cheese. Bradshaw (49) smashed one to extra cover going for his fifty, where Rohan took a superb catch to dismiss him off Bernard. However, his erstwhile partner no 4 Ishwariah (62*) carried on bravely, taking Warborough past 200. The innings was then declared at 202/5 off 51 overs. Good effort boys. Never mind the 31 extras!
The KCC run chase was a comfortable one, dominated as it was by a thoroughly classy 129 not out by Ajit Ramsagar. Watchful at first, Ajit timed his innings beautifully, opening up his shoulders to stroke 16 fours and a six, guiding KCC to victory with 3 overs to spare. San (30) and Matt (20) provided good support. As did Bernard’s younger brother, Dan, visiting from South Africa. Much to the pride of Mum van Vuuren, who watched patiently all along.
Last week, I finally saw the telly commercial that was recently shot at the Warborough ground. The pitch still looked dodgy. But what a ground!

Sun 27 May Warborough & Shillingford Drawn
We 250/4 in 49.2 overs (Jai Singh 101 rtd, Hemang Badani 76*, David Behar 33, Chris Hall 3/28)
They 211/8 in 45 overs (Leach 53*, Bradshaw 35, Crossdale 28, Khilnani 4/72)
There are several reasons for calling the oppo before the game. Primarily it is to ensure everybody agrees that there actually is a game, that all is well and to ensure an intelligent call on the weather when the forecast looks bit iffy. It is also right and fair to inform the home skipper if you are suffering a few late call-offs and need to field 10 men; or 9 men and a boy; or a girl. In any case it is better all round if these things are out in the open. And of course you have to tell people each and every time you are going turn up with a Test player. Matt may have used the words ‘first class player’, but really meant ‘Test player’. Recent Test player, not Ted Dexter in a corset.
So, thanks to Neeraj, Hemang Badani was added to the teamsheet for the annual trip to Warborough, the perfect game for a guest – all day, wonderful setting, lunch under the oak tree – delightful.
It’s a delicate balance of course. You don’t want to show up and watch your guest eclipse the whole match, but they must get a shot. Be a shame to show up and not get a shot. None of these worries surfaced as Jai Singh battered a classy 100, using his reach to hit good length balls through the covers, murdering anything short and keeping the Indian international on the sidelines. When he did reach the crease, Hemang (inset with Jai) was watchful, almost scratchy, for 2 or 3 overs before timing the ball exquisitely to all parts on what was a slow wicket.
250 was always going to be a big chase and, despite Bradshaw and Crossdale both getting starts, Aditya zipped it about off the seam and used his height to great effect in taking all of the first four batsmen and putting KCC on course for the win. Regular wickets fell to the other bowlers, including Kinder who had threatened with some big shots, but the young W&S tail was stubborn. David Leach in particular, mixing defence and aggression as required, reached a deserved fifty, and, supported by Marcus Ward, saw off a Test star’s hugely turning left arm spin, punctuated with the occasional quick arm ball, to secure a well fought draw and win bragging rights for the rest of the season.
Thanks to Warborough for being such gracious hosts and to Hemang, who played in exactly the right spirit and showed us what a classy player he is. We wish him every success with his cricket academy in Chennai; would love to have him back anytime.

We 203/9 in 49 overs (Shahzeb 85, Beg 31, Oppe 20, D.Leach 4/73)
They 204/8 in 42.5 overs (Bradshaw 57, J.Tilley 40, Nayar 4/50, Shanker 2/26)
A close game in this traditional all-day fixture at this pretty Oxfordshire village ground. San won the toss and chose to bat first, but soon rued his decision as we crawled to 9 runs in 7 overs before Amit Shanker was caught behind. The tempo did not pick up and wickets began to tumble, Gabriel and Rohan falling cheaply. Neeraj was fourth out at 24/4 having edged his way to 6 in 43 balls. Although dampish, was the wicket that bad? San looked a million dollars as he stroked his way around, but then unaccountably missed a straight(ish) ball and was undone by an lbw decision. Shahzeb and Mark Oppe began to repair the damage and KCC went to lunch (under the oak tree, of course) at a precarious 87/5. Once Mark and Tabby fell Shahzeb finally found his rhythm, reaching his 50 with the first six of the innings then racing to 85 in 11 balls before holing out. The 71 run stand with Mirza Beg brought respectability enabling San to declare with prospects.
But despite an early wicket the hoped-for crunch into Warborough’s top order in the 12 overs before tea did not materialise. Bradshaw and James Tilley provided a solid foundation and looked to be cruising to an easy win until Neeraj Nayar stopped them in their tracks with his stuttering off-zeaters, bagging 4 wickets in all. Suddenly the game was wide open. Two good catches in the deep off Amit and we needed 2 more wickets with 15 to defend. Well, actually only 1 wicket as their 11th man had left early. But Fitchett played it cool and saw Warborough home with 4 overs to spare.
