It was difficult for them from the start with excellent, tight bowling and fielding from the visitors. Despite a few extras, Køge could not get the bowling away. All bowled exceptionally well including Mads Henriksen (his action, not the same as, but re-kindling fond memories of Michael Holding for the author) with 2-14 in two good spells from both ends and Bobby with 4-17. Another highlight was Toke Larsen. With the author witnessing from point and covers, the home team did not know whether to go forward or on the back foot to his perfect length deliveries…under each and every ball! The tight bowling and fielding continued with Asam Khan 1-16 off 4 overs and Huktar Fahad1-10 to enable Køge only to muster 99 all out off 31.4 overs In summary, bring on Taastrup, Thursday, 9th,June at 5pm! |
