Match report 🏏 Burnham Blaze Past Crowthorne Despite Cartledge & Mansfield’s Heroics

Thames Valley Division 6A St Sebastian's Playing Field May 24, 2025
Crowthorne 2nd XI endured a tough outing as Burnham 3rd XI posted 212 and then skittled the hosts for just 87. But within the defeat, there were flashes of fight — especially from the bowling unit.
🔥 Bowling Bright Spots
Electing to field first, Crowthorne’s bowlers worked hard on a flat deck:
- John Cartledge (3-36) led the charge with classic control and clever variations.
- Sam Mansfield (3-43) struck key blows, including a sharp catch by Brundish and a stumping.
- Prakash Singh (2-20) chipped in with a double strike, while Dan Finucane grabbed an early scalp.
- Burnham’s Khurram Saba (48) and Ismail Afsar (39) provided the backbone of their innings, pushing them to 212 all out.
😬 Batting Collapse
Crowthorne’s reply never got going:
- Early wickets fell in clusters, with only Prakash Singh (17) and Michael Brundish (14) reaching double figures.
- The top order was undone by tight bowling from Eisah Saba (3-22) and Abdul-Raheem Aslam (3-13).
- Extras (18) were the third-highest contributor as Crowthorne were bowled out for 87 in 32.4 overs.
