We at Ewell CC have seen the local news coverage of a fire at Chessington Cricket Club’s clubhouse. The photos are devastating to view. We await news, but at this time we send our collective prayers and best wishes to our friends at Chessington CC, their players and members 😔

Away vs Hampton Wick Royals 2nd XI
Lost by 3 wickets
Ewell won the toss and chose to bat. A steady 59 from Irfan Ahmed and 35 from Sikandar Naqvi before a late regular fall of wickets saw Ewell score 186 all out. Hampton Wick slowly pushed their way to the score, despite some quality bowling which saw the Royals struggle to score quickly, but a 68 partnership for the 7th wicket saw Hampton Wick hit the target with 10 balls to spare. Khurram Naseer the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 37 off 10 overs, while I should shout out Adil Tahir, whose left arm bowling was superb and was most unlucky not to get a wicket, despite testing the edge of the batters very regularly.

Home to Cheam CC 2nd XI
Lost by 34 runs
Cheam win the toss and chose to bat. This didn’t appear to be the correct call, as Ewell bowled them out for just 133 in 43.5 overs. Mazhar Hussain, opening the bowling and taking 4 for 42 off 8.5 overs and GG taking 3 for 24 off 10. However, Ewell despite a lower target, Ewell came up short, shuttled out for 99 in 29.3 overs. Shahrayar Bajwa scoring 46 and Ata Mubashar with a solid 23 off 66 were the only players to score double figures.

Away to Maori Oxshott CC 2nd XI
Lost by 126 runs.
Well, if there’s a one man team award, then it goes to Maori Oxshott. Winning the toss and choosing to bat, it became obvious why. Their opening bat scored 157 off 98 balls with 22 fours and 7 sixes. One player scored 30 and everyone else scored under 15, with 7 scoring single figures. Aneeq Khan took 4 for 23 off 9 overs, which was very respectable. Oxshott totalled 263 for 9 off 45 overs.
Ewell finished 137 all out off 28.5 overs, with Shuja Ur Rehman top scoring with 31 off 38 including 2 fours and 3 sixes

Home to Chessington CC 3rd XI
Won by 3 wickets
Our new 4th XI won their second game in a row, either side of last week’s washed out draw. Winning the toss and putting Chessington into bat, we restricted Chessington to 148 for 9 off 40 overs. The third wicket partnership of 81 was the only defiance against Ewell’s regular wicket taking. Joseph Seager taking 3 for 19 off 8 overs, under 15s captain Rafi Thompson taking 2 for 12 off 5 and Rafay Hasham taking 2 for 22 off 5. Ewell reached the target with 8 balls to spare. Rafi following up his fine bowling performance to then score a patient 54 off 101 balls, and scoring his third ½ century of the season, two of those in adult cricket. Rafi now has 207 league runs this season at 41.4 average, as well as 349 runs across all teams this season (see below for Sunday 2nd XI summary) and has 1103 runs for the club going back to 2021 at an average of 29.

Ewell won the toss and chose to bat and then scoring 185 for 8 off 40 overs. Under 17s and under 19s player Sarvesh Govindarajan scored 60, Asmar Khan 34. Magdalen were always behind the curve, eventually Ewell getting them all out for 129 off 31.4 overs. Under 15s player Luke Jacobs taking 3 for 15 off 5, GG with 2 for 28 off 7 and Sreejit Govindarajan with 2 for 26 off 6.

Home to New Beckenham CC 1st XI
Won by 8 wickets.
A convincing win by our academy XI again, who are really shining now. Winning the toss and putting the opposition into bat and we were rewarded by bowling them out for 153. Captain Ewan Carlin opening the bowling took 3 for 15 off 8 and u17s player Arman with an impressive 2 for 3 off 4 overs. Ewell took 31.4 overs to reach the target, at just under 5 an over. Ewan, opening the batting, carrying his bat to 80 not out. U15s captain Rafi Thompson scoring 43 not out off 63 balls, to give him weekend adult total score of 97 and out once. Ewan’s 80 not out gives him 100 runs across the match weekend after his 20 for the 1st XI yesterday. Ewan now has 378 runs for the season at 31.5 average. This innings also passed the 2,000 club runs for Ewan. He now has 2077 runs in his 8th season at an average of 24.4
