๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ SO, ABOUT EARLIERโ€ฆ ADMIN MESSED UP.

The excitement of the last league weekend got slightly confused with the last weekend of cricketโ€ฆ and consequently, the wrong match ball sponsor was thanked.

This weekendโ€™s real Match Ball Sponsor is Mr David โ€˜Bigglesโ€™ Little! ๐Ÿ

Itโ€™s probably a good job Iโ€™m not left in charge of anything important, right? Like the scoringโ€ฆ

Luckily, thatโ€™s safely handled by Biggles. Thereโ€™s hardly a cricket rule our resident scorer doesnโ€™t know, and if we could clone him, weโ€™d also have the perfect umpire โ€” mainly because heโ€™s frequently left confounded by some of the decisions made out on the pitch! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Biggles had an exciting first this season when he witnessed an opposition batter hit the ball away with their hand, resulting in a non-fielding dismissal. Such a rare occurrence that even Biggles had to get the rule book out! ๐Ÿ“–

Heโ€™s also still on the hunt for an elusive โ€˜smudgeโ€™ over - where every ball is somehow different. Weโ€™ve come close, but four games remain, so thereโ€™s still hopeโ€ฆ

Although, if we donโ€™t manage it this season, it looks like Biggles will have to dust off the scorebook and weโ€™ll try again in 2027. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ SUNDAY 1st XI

Another friendly to round off the weekend โ€” although we suspect thereโ€™ll still be plenty of competitive spirit!

Good luck to all three teams, and thank you to Biggles for sponsoring the match balls! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ WEEKEND ROUND-UP โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›
A slightly soggy end to the weekend, but plenty to talk about!

First up, a huge thank you to Brian Goodger for sponsoring our match balls this weekend and supporting local cricket! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ SATURDAY 1st XI - Carrib United CC won by 7 wickets

A few unfortunate early departures left NBCC needing someone to settle things down, and Prakash duly stepped up with 64 off 69 balls, including 6 fours. He played it a little safer this week after his recent attempts at sixes have ended rather too frequently in the fielders hands! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Josh Hobson added a speedy 30 off 21, with 4 fours and a six, before being caught โ€“ was it another full toss?๐Ÿ‘€

On Friday, we asked three very important questions:
๐Ÿ‘€ Would Perkins score more than 3 not out?
๐Ÿ’ฅ Would Brad hit another couple of sixes?
๐Ÿ Would Shaggy bat at 4 again?

Wellโ€ฆ Perkins certainly delivered, finishing 19 not out! He faced 40 balls though, so we're not quite getting the same strike-rate excitement as last week. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Brad produced one beautiful six, finishing on 7 - we'll generously call that a success. ๐Ÿ˜‰

And Shaggy? Well, he didn't bat at 4. He came in at 9, scored 6, and was bowled. What would have happened if he had come in at 4? Weโ€™ll never know.

With the ball, Brad was outstanding, finishing with 2-32 from 10 overs and taking the first two wickets of the innings. Andy O picked up the only other wicket, removing the opener towards the end.

All three wickets were catches - two for Darran Gillions and one for Andy.

A great team to play against and a thoroughly enjoyable day, just a shame we couldn't bring home the result!

๐Ÿ SATURDAY 2nd XI - Kislingbury Temperance CC won by 9 wickets

The top order struggled again, with Captain Alex Dโ€™Souza the only batter to reach double figures before Ajay Mittapelly came in at 6 and steadied the innings.

Ajay top scored with 48 off 50 balls, including 7 fours and 2 sixes, seeing four different batting partners come and go along the way!

Will Rayner-Thompson added a rapid 35 off 28, with 6 fours and a six, while James Coleman contributed 23 off 24.

NBCC finished on 153, but unfortunately couldn't defend it.

In fact, Kislingbury's opening batter clearly decided there was absolutely no reason to rush home - putting on 105 off 87 balls against our bowling attack. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‚

We'd like to say our bowlers made him work for it, but with only one wicket falling, we'll probably leave that particular story for another day!

Will RT took the only wicket, a catch by Saikumar.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ SUNDAY 1st XI - Abandoned

The 1s left a perfectly dry and warm Milton Keynes, drove 20 minutes down the roadโ€ฆ and arrived in the middle of a downpour. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒง๏ธ

With the ground too wet to safely play and no consistent break in the rain, the match was abandoned.

Which also means our three junior players will have to wait a little longer for their 1st XI debuts. Sorry lads - blame the British summer! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ

Another weekend done - and we're now heading into the final league matches of the season! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Thank you to our concerned neighbours who messaged us this week to say the ground had been vandalised againโ€ฆ

Donโ€™t worry - this time it was us! ๐Ÿ˜‡

Last weekend saw our final home fixtures of the season, and Poppyโ€™s Garden Care wasted no time getting to work on the square.

After years of simply topping the square up with loam, weโ€™d been left with some rather sizeable saddles at either end of the square. So this year, we took the plunge and had the whole square Koroโ€™d to reduce them.

then removed a huge amount of material before applying fresh seed, fertiliser and loam. Everything has now been dragged and matted in, and weโ€™re hoping this work will give us a fantastic playing surface for the 2027 season. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ

Now comes the important bitโ€ฆ

Cricketers and friends, itโ€™s your job to pray for rain! ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Little and often, please - enough to get the square established without turning it into a swimming pool!

And if youโ€™re unsure how to make it happen, Will has apparently got a rain dance routine all worked out. ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

Sure heโ€™ll be happy to teach us all at Presentation Nightโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ WEEKEND TEAMSHEETS ARE IN! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›
A huge thank you to this weekโ€™s Match Ball Sponsor, Brian Goodger! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘
Brian is no stranger to a bit of local pressโ€ฆ although perhaps not always for his cricket!

One evening, enjoying a quiet drink in a country pub with a lady who, shall we say, wasn't his wife, Brian was minding his own business when the Kent County Cricket Team arrived for a benefit function.

Naturally, there was a local press photographer there.

A few days later, Brian discovered that the local paper had featured a photo of the teamโ€ฆ with Brian and his lady friend conveniently visible in the background. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ฐ
Not quite the sort of cricketing coverage you normally hope for, Brian!

๐Ÿ SATURDAY 1st XI

๐Ÿš— Away at Carrib United CC
Captain Josh takes the 1s on the road, with Andy O back as vice captain and plenty of familiar names looking to make their mark on the honours board.

The important questions this week:
๐Ÿ‘€ Will Perkins score more than 3 not out?
๐Ÿ’ฅ Can Brad produce another couple of sixes after his heroics against Stony Stratford?
๐Ÿ Will Shaggy be batting at 4 again?

There's only one way to find outโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ SATURDAY 2nd XI
๐Ÿก *Home against Kislingbury Temperance CC - at the Cublington ground!

Captain Alex is still hoping to get the FrogBox up and running so we can still bring the action to the screens. ๐Ÿ“น๐Ÿ˜‚

With the 2s looking to continue their winning streak, hopefully the technology behaves itself and the cricket does too!

These are the penultimate Saturday league fixtures of the season - good luck to both teams! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ SUNDAY 1st XI
๐Ÿš— Away at Milton Bryan CC - Friendly

Captain Chris and vice captain Josh lead the 1s into a friendly Sunday fixture, with three of our juniors making their 1st XI debuts! ๐Ÿ‘

Friendly it may beโ€ฆ but we all know there's still going to be someone keeping score like the Ashes are on the line. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good luck to all three teams - and thanks again to Brian for supporting local cricket! ๐Ÿโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

A huge thank you to Brian Goodger for sponsoring this weekendโ€™s match balls! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Brian scored his first fifty at an early age, although sadly nobody from his team was around to witness itโ€ฆ because they had all disappeared to the ice cream van that had just arrived. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ˜‚

After college in Walsall, Brian moved to Kent and continued playing for Stoke and the Old Anchorians, where his talent was clearly not going unnoticed.
His highest score? 191 not out. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

And why no double century? Well, Brian was captain and decided to declare the innings closed - putting the team before personal milestones. ๐Ÿ‘
Apparently, this remarkable display of selflessness even made the local papers. ๐Ÿ“ฐ๐Ÿ˜‚
Thanks again, Brian, for your support of NBCC - and for giving us a very respectable 191 to aim for! ๐Ÿโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

Weโ€™re heading into the penultimate fixtures of the season for both Saturday sides - so thereโ€™s still plenty to play for before we put the whites away! ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ SATURDAY
๐Ÿš— 1st XI Away at Overstone facing Carrib United CC
One of the final league outings of the season. Time to finish strongโ€ฆ so that Admin has fewer complaints to listen to ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ

On a winning streak, the 2s have another chance to finish the season on a high. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ SUNDAY
๐Ÿš— 1st XI Away at Milton Bryan CC

A Sunday friendly to round off the weekend. Because apparently, 20 weeks in, we haven't quite had enough cricket yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good luck to all three teams! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

See you Friday for the teamsheets! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ WEEKEND ROUND-UP โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›
Another weekend, another mixed bag of cricket, questionable decisions and plenty to talk about! ๐Ÿ˜‚

A massive thank you to Brian Goodger for sponsoring this weekendโ€™s match ball and supporting NBCC! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ

Brian first picked up a bat in Thornborough, before eventually finding his way to the New Bradwell Sunday 2nds - where, back in 2001, he somehow managed to hit an unbeaten century against Printers. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Brianโ€™s also done his bit to preserve local cricket history, having written a book about the history of Thornborough Cricket Club, as well as another about growing up in Thornborough during the 1950s and 60s. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ

So, from scoring centuries for Bradell to literally writing the history books, Brian has certainly left his mark on local cricket!

Weโ€™d love to see a proper NBCC write up one of these daysโ€ฆ until then, youโ€™ll have to make do with this admin ๐Ÿซก

๐Ÿ Saturday 1st XI - Lost by 6 wickets
In true Bradell fashion, we won the toss and elected to bat โ€“ after all, the grass had actually seen some rain for the first time in months and green was poking through!

Pri top-scored with 47, followed by Captain Josh with 36 off 33, including a six that came very close to one of our solar panels. Thankfully, it survived. โ˜€๏ธ Will Smith added a steady 34 as NBCC reached 182.

Only one duck โ€“ progress considering the start of our season! And Perkins was delighted with his 100% strike rate and not-out percentageโ€ฆ scoring 3. ๐Ÿ˜‚

After a very healthy lunch organised by Faisal and Mrs Faisal - mostly Mrs Faisal - featuring sausage rolls, pizza, cookies and doughnuts, the team headed back out into the afternoon heat. ๐ŸŒญ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฉ

The first wicket didn't come until the 19th over, in total Chris Wade picked up 3 wickets and Dan Thompson 1 as Old Northamptonians chased down the total with overs to spare.

๐Ÿ Saturday 2nd XI -WON BY 3 WICKETS! ๐ŸŽ‰

Despite losing the toss, the team certainly took home the win! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜‚

A brilliant bowling performance saw Sai Gireesh take 4-17, with Saikumar taking 3, Amit 2 and Brad 1, as the 2s kept the pressure on throughout the innings.

With the target set, Amit top-scored with 35 before David held his nerve to finish unbeaten on 31 and guide the 2s over the line.

That makes it another win for the Saturday 2s, who are continuing their excellent winning streak - and once again, they were our only winners of the weekend! ๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ Sunday 2nd XI - Lost by 25 runs

The 2s restricted Road Runners to 204 all out, with Muneeb taking 3, and Oliver, Buddy and Ryan Lambert picking up 2 each.

There were some excellent moments in the field -including Muneeb and Will Smith removing the opener in the first over, and Oliver Goodall running out another batter before he could reach his 50.

With the bat, after a few early departures, Will Smith steadied things with an excellent 55 off 65, while Ryan Lambert added a quick-fire 50 off 40, including 8 fours and a six.

Unfortunately, the chase fell 25 runs short.

๐Ÿ One win, two losses - but plenty of cricket, good food and another weekend in the books.

Now, who fancies explaining to Perkins that 3 not out isn't technically a batting masterclass? ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ WEEKEND TEAMSHEETS ARE IN! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

After last weekendโ€™s rain, weโ€™ve had a full week of watching the forecast like a batsman watching the umpire for a no-ball. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€

With the weather doing its best to interfere with the fixture list again, weโ€™re hoping the clouds can stay outside the boundary line this weekend! ๐Ÿ˜‚

A big thank you to this weekendโ€™s Match Ball Sponsor, Brian Goodger, for supporting NBCC and local cricket. ๐Ÿโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ SATURDAY 1st XI
๐Ÿก Captain Josh Hobson leads the 1s at home against Old Northamptonians CC, with Chris Wade stepping in as vice captain.

Plenty of talent in the squad this week - now let's see if they can turn that into a win! ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿ SATURDAY 2nd XI
๐Ÿš— The 2s travel to S&L Corby CC, with Captain Alex and, naturally, the lucky coin leading the way. ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ˜‚

Brad Ratcliffe is back in the squad after helping secure the Sunday 1st XI's second win of the season last weekend. Can he bring some of that winning energy with him?

โ˜€๏ธ SUNDAY 2nd XI
๐Ÿš— The 2s are our only Sunday fixture this week, travelling to face Road Runners CC.

Plenty of the usual faces are back from their holidays and ready to get back into their whites - primarily so they can show off those hard-earned tans. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

And facing the Road Runners? Better keep an eye out for any Acme Corporation equipment mysteriously appearing around the boundaryโ€ฆ ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Good luck to all three teams - may the weather stay dry, the catches stick and the rain stay firmly off the square! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

New month, new week, new fixtures - and somehow weโ€™ve reached the final month of league cricket! ๐Ÿ˜ญ Where has the season gone?!

After last weekendโ€™s rain had other ideas, weโ€™re hoping the forecast is finally on our side. ๐Ÿคž With Saturday looking considerably more promising, the teams are hoping to actually play some cricket this time! ๐Ÿ˜‚

A big thank you to this weekendโ€™s Match Ball Sponsor, Brian Goodger, for supporting NBCC. ๐Ÿโค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

โ˜€๏ธ SATURDAY

๐Ÿก 1st XI host Old Northamptonians CC at Bradwell Road.

๐Ÿš— 2nd XI travel to S&L Corby CC.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ SUNDAY

With temperatures forecast to hit around 26ยฐC, the Sunday 2nd XI head to Dunstable for a friendly against Road Runners CC.

Weโ€™re keeping everything crossed for a weekend of sunshine, cricket and significantly less staring at the forecast ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ

We hope to see you this weekend at the club! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›
