If you skipped the 84th Dinner you missed a KP-inspired treat

Posted on March 2, 2014

Over 40 Buccaneers enjoyed a convivial evening at the 84th Annual Dinner, held at the East India Club in St James’s on Wednesday 26th February, which followed the now traditional pre-Dinner AGM.059_edited-1

At the AGM, the club welcomed new Committee members Subir Chakravarti, Paul Hobson and Simon Leefe and thanked Adam Wyartt for his previous service.

Buccaneers and guested enjoyed the traditional Dinner fare, topped as ever by syrup sponge pudding and ‘creme anglaise (old boy)’.

After dinner, President Simon Woolfries was delighted to announce that Sujay Chakravarti was the 2013 winner of the Geoffrey Moore Award for his commitment throughout the season with the bat, ball and gauntlets. His mileage on the Jag also suffered.

Andrew Miller, fellow Buccaneer and Editor of The Cricketer responded to the toast of cricket. ‘Funky’ explained how he had broken into the hallowed world of cricket hackdom via Pakistan and bacon sandwiches, as well as choosing in his speech to lead a spirited defence of KP. His stand on this subject ensured he had to survive a barrage of bouncers from a number of fellow diners who all chose to come off their long runs. He left in slightly better shape than Piers Morgan managed in Aus. The Committee would like to thank Andrew for agreeing to speak.

From no show to fine show in season closer

Posted on September 23, 2013

All 22 Buccaneers assembled for an 11.00am start, but there was no grounds man to open the pavilion and provide the stumps. After a hasty phone call and minor heart palpitations from James, order was restored and the first ball was delivered at 11.30am at Betchworth.

Richard Manyon tore in from the wood end and accounted for Sujay very quickly and then Matt Luxford (who may not have remembered much of his innings as he was still enjoying the previous night’s party). The quality of Will and Mel started to shine through, but an all run four was Mel’s undoing as he spooned one to mid off and was shocked to see Andy Close hang on to it. Patrick Hole enacted a brief (very brief) cameo role and before the Royals knew it they were four down (all due to Mr Manyon). The senior pro, in the form of Andy Morgan, steadied the ship and a strong partnership changed the face of the game. Will controlled proceedings (an impressive 80 not out) and when Andy departed, Muktesh took up the challenge which included an entertaining two runs to first slip. The forty overs were up with 172 on the board, which Rob, the skipper, thought was just above par.

And so to the Stringer Superkings innings. Leading from the front was James partnered by Pratik (who made a mighty fine impression of Virender Sehwag). It was just like old times with Hole dropping a catch in the slips off Rob. No such let off for James when he swung one of Alok’s deliveries to Mel. Kim started rather scratchily and was dropped twice by the two best fielders out there, but then started to show his class. Pratik was caught over the shoulder off Will and Subir didn’t stay much longer than his brother. With Kim and Jim at the crease, the runs steadily started to flow and things looked rather bleak for the Royals until the old campaigner was brought back. Rob accounted for Kim and then Jim and then gallantly allowed Will to come on and clean up the tail. There may have been a triple wicket maiden in there (Rhino, Closey and Hack). Richard M hit a few lusty blows but died by the sword. The total was being chased down with seven balls left, but the coup de grace summed up the day nicely with Hobbo being dropped on the boundary, and Adam being run out as the throw came in. Plenty of beer flowed in the Red Lion as the season was put to a close.

Man of the match: Will Noble (just). ‘Thanks for coming award’: everyone else.

Hobson & new boys clinch thriller at Henley

Posted on September 2, 2013

Buccaneers 227-7 (40 overs) beat Henley 214 (38.2 overs) by 13 runs

Having enjoyed a rejuvenating transfer window, a new-look Buccaneers side featuring 4 debutants and two teenage sons of committee men rode the wave of youth to clinch the club’s 4th successive victory with a rare win at Henley on Sunday.

Opting to bat first in the sun on an idyllic ground, the Buccs suffered the early hiccup of a rejigged batting order and the early loss of Crispin Vollers. However, debutants Elliott Cloy and Matt Bennison soon made themselves at home, cracking the ball to all parts to bring up the 100 before the halfway stage.

After the curse of the drinks break had undone Bennison just short of his half-century, Matt Luxford sauntered in to continue the runfest with his high backlift redolent of Goochie. Sujay Chakravarti enjoyed the freedom of No5 to play an elegant cameo before Cloy was run out for a stylish 79. Rydon and Marsh scampered the last few runs but this wasn’t the time-honoured Rydoni/Marshetti duo of yesteryear
but their sons aged 16 and 15. However, a total of 227 in the allotted 40 overs was felt to be slightly below par.

After an excellent tea, including samosas, onion bhajis and chicken satays, skipper Rob Rydon gave his side a bright start with a wicket 2nd ball. Will Noble wobbled the ball at the other end and soon bowled the other opener.

However, with Henley’s powerful No3 Davison punching the ball impressively, the Buccs played cat and mouse to try to deprive him of the strike. The club’s youth policy was employed with good effect, Alex Rydon swinging the ball with control and Archie Marsh ripping his leg breaks, which bamboozled two batsmen and would have removed Davison but for a dropped catch at mid on.

One of the Buccs more mature swingers then entered the fray to dramatic effect as Paul Hobson took a wicket with his first ball. Hobbo added two more scalps, one with a brilliant
over he shoulder diving catch by Matt Bennison.

Another Buccs debutant, Josh Hume, a nephew of the skipper, then bowled one of the 3 Chappells while Davison continued to blast the ball over the boundary. As the light dimmed, Noble returned to snatch another wicket to set up a
cliff-hanger finish.

In the penultimate over, Henley needed 14 with just one wicket remaining. Hobbo swung one away in the gloaming, No11 swung his bat and the ball flew to the captain who pouched the catch at mid off to clinch a well-deserved victory.

Mel’s 137 spearheads epic run chase at Hurst

Posted on August 19, 2013

Buccaneers 294-7 beat Old HurstJohnians 290-5 dec by 3 wickets

Sunshine, a shirtfront of a pitch and winning the toss; no wonder Buccs skipper Rob Rydon got some funny looks from his team after deciding to bowl first at Hurstpierpoint on the last day of the Old Boys cricket week.

Anyway, Rob was happy as he was able to open the bowling with his eldest son, Tom.
After Rob’s first delivery, just short of a length on middle stump, had been summarily despatched to the boundary, the Buccs looked set for a long day chasing leather. However, Tom showed his resolve after another dismissive stroke by eliciting a sharp chance to 1st slip which Mel Ragnauth pouched with nonchalance. Tom wasn’t so fortunate after the next chance fell to earth, the first of several catches of various degrees of difficulty dropped by the five Shirburnians*.

Rotation of the bowlers brought on Tom’s brother, Alex, down the hill for a steady spell
of seamers until the scorers had to change more than just an initial as Simon Leefe became the first non-member of the Rydon family to be introduced with fellow left-arm spinner Ben Graves. This pair bowled exeptionally well in tandem and enabled Buccs to rattle through an impressive 37 overs before lunch when OHJs had reached 140-2.

Ah to lunch; an imposing 3-course affair with port on offer. Predictably the post-lunch session was less dynamic with fielders diving over balls and President Simon Woolfries,
who had partaken of the port, extending the buffet. Leefe, however, remained sharp in the field and his second direct hit on the stumps left the in-form batsman well short.The confident appeal was inexplicably turned down but Hall evidently felt so guilty he immediately spooned a catch to Hack at midwicket. Alex picked up another wicket
before Mike Harrison began regularly clearing the boundary to bring up a quick-fire 50 and prompt a very fair declaration at 3.30 on 290-5.

Buccs openers Sujay Chakravarti and Ben Atwell saw the shine off the new ball with some aplomb before Sujay was caught behind. Crispin Vollers joined his fellow Shirburnian* in building a promising platform of 70-1 with plenty of time left after tea. However, tea proved our downfall with both departing immediately after the interval. (Sir Geoffrey of Boycott came to mind with his Yorkshire mantra of “look at your score and add two wickets”).

Enter Ragnauth and Leefe who immediately began to strike the ball powerfully and scamper quick singles (particularly impressive from Mel who had ankle ligament problems). After Leefe had been caught off a full toss and Alex Rydon adjudged lbw, Ben Graves provided stylish and sensible support for Mel, who was driving the ball all round the ground in a magnificent reprise of his record match-winning stand of 300 at Hurlingham in 2006.

After Graves had become another lbw victim, the Buccs skipper joined Ragnauth in a display of awesome power which levelled the scores with 14 balls remaining.
Sadly, Mel was given out lbw for a thrilling 137 to enable Hack to face two bals before
Rob appropriately struck the winning boundary.

Rob’s brave decision to bowl in such batting-friendly conditions deserved to end a run of 12 consecutive defeats at Hurst with one of the most impressive run chases in Buccs history.

Buccs crowned Maharajahs of Maidstone

Posted on August 15, 2013

Buccaneers (295-5 dec) beat The Mote (107) by 188 runs

The Buccaneers arrived at Mote Park in Maidstone knowing they had to deliver a good performance to make up for the disappointments of previous years at this famous old ground and show the Kent club they intended to provide them with more than just batting practice.

As The Mote pitch is now usually slow, low and offering turn, very similar to sub-continental tracks in fact, skipper Kim Ross was delighted to be able to call upon 3 players who learnt their trade in India.

The Indians did not disappoint. Having been invited to bat first, the Buccs made a solid start with Jeremy Milne playing some delightful cuts and Sujay Chakravarti providing staunch support. Following a classic dialogue of “yes, no, yes, maybe, no” Milne was run out for 27 with Sujay caught behind for 18 shortly afterwards.

Freddie Greenish showed his intent early on with some impressive driving down the ground before being bowled for 40. Subir Chakravarti joined Ghatak and they quickly showed that their experience of Indian pitches would prove helpful in Maidstone. Ghatak, in particular, illustrated the importance of waiting for the ball to come on to the bat and showed how to be “wristy” on slow pitches.

This pair lifted the score to 228 before Ghatak departed trying to up the tempo for a well-played 69. Ross and Subir took on the spinners and added some quick runs before
the Buccs captain was caught and bowled for 37. Ludo Milne and Subir continued the attack until the declaration at a handsome 295-5, Subir finishing unbeaten on 61.

Richard Manyon and Paul Hobson opened the Buccs bowling impressively with Hobo taking a wicket in his first over after tweaking an arm muscle and completing the over with leg spin. The jury is still out as whether this was a tactical ploy or a genuine injury as Hobo proceeded to bowl another 10 overs of medium pace showing no sign of injury and picking up a total of 4 wickets.

Spinners Milne and Greenish also took a wicket apiece as Milne bowled 5 successive maidens. Manyon returned to the attack and got a memorable scalp with a jaffa which pitched middle and hit off before young Milne wrapped up the Mote innings.

The whole team made valuable contributions to one of the Buccaneers’ biggest victories over the renowned Kent club with Ludo Milne keeping very tidily and promising a bright future with bat and gloves.

Handbags fail to stop Buccs victory at Lindfield

Posted on August 5, 2013

Lindfield vs Buccaneers 28th July 2013 – 40 over game

With the skipper fielding his preferred make-up of “age before beauty” – added to this year by the “properly injured” – Buccaneers arrived mostly on time for this annual showdown with some of the best young Sussex has to offer.

Oppo skipper Matt won the toss and elected to bat on a track which had clearly seen plenty of the previous night’s rain. Wyartt immediately bamboozled the well-drilled and helmeted Lindfield openers by kicking off both ends with the gentle turn (and laser-guided accuracy) of Brandes and Leefe. After the initial shock wore off, both openers moved into their twenties (which they will not do in age terms for a good three years) with some ease until Brandes employed keeper Chakravarti to have Lawrence caught behind.

Sensing a collapse, the skipper unleashed Woolfries up the hill who struck with his first ball, Ragnauth showing admirable falling-and-catching skills at first slip. This tempted Wyartt to have a trundle down the hill and, with the enormous pace this generated, he soon accounted for Lawson and O’Brien – with shades of the Betchworth Red Lion sticky wicket in evidence.

Scoring slowed, helped by uncharacteristically diligent fielding as led by the mightily enthusiastic Mike Best, and the Buccs remained miserly. As the inevitable charge came, Wyartt turned to Leefe who responded magnificently with a tight spell and two great caught and bowleds. Meanwhile John Bryant tied down the other end with almost imperceptible variations of pace.

Lindfield, at one point heading for a total over 200, returned to the hutch (and an extremely fine tea!) 165 for 7 wickets.

Stringer and Sujay Chakravati had the privilege of opening and faced two Sussex junior bowlers. James seemed the more awestruck as Sujay set about displaying his swashbuckling approach to one-day opening, quickly reaching 25 before holing out to young Wilkes. Stringer, supported by Best, found his own form and used the pace of the bowling well to guide, tickle and drive his way onto the scorebook. As Best fell, Subir Chakravati joined the fray and enjoyed similarly trouble-free batting as Stringer reached a hard fought 50, to the growing chagrin of the “rather vocal” opposition skipper.

At the halfway stage, Buccs were nailing the run rate, Stringer and Subir pulling back any maidens with powerful hitting and running. Subir departed, the only timbers of the day, and Ragnauth defied medical wisdom by stepping out to the middle. A display of controlled aggression followed which was the last straw for the brittle nerves of the opposition skipper – failing to match Mel’s wit and repartee in the square – and a brief spot of handbags ensued, soon quashed and play continued. Buccs appeared to be Saga-cruising to a win but a flurry of last minute wickets thanks to the tall arm of O Morgan brought in D Close in a rare cameo, making a nerve-steadying 11 leaving Rhino and Woolfries to bring the Buccs home with an over to spare.

Lovestruck Harcourt misses OD loss

Posted on August 5, 2013

A rather chaotic squad was announced (for the first time in 2 seasons) to play Oxford Downs. The usually reliable James Harcourt was absent, after he informed the captain that he was going on a ‘date’ instead.

A huge effort from the Rydon and Robertson clan ensured we had a competitive X1 to take on OD. After losing the toss the young Buccs were invited to bowl first. The City boys did not disappoint, with Rydon and Noble bowling a very testing opening spell restricting Oxford to very limited scoring chances, usually behind square. This was followed by Wigley and Alexander Rydon who continued to turn the screw, Wigley’s 7 overs going for 15 runs and Noble’s 12 overs going for 24. Robertson Hamish and young Sam Collins also bowled very well, with Sam (guesting from Downs) removing the Sunday skipper. The never say die attitude of the Buccs had a knock on effect of meaning the home side batted on; perhaps a little too long, for 201 for 8 off 55 overs.

A confident reply looked like we would knock off the runs. Two new Buccs in Wigley and Luxford taking us to 45 before tea without trouble. The introduction of the slow bowlers on the warn pitch was a key intervention: Watts and Collins, in particular, slowed us. A loss of 4 quick wickets turned the game on its head. Will Noble and Alexander Rydon then counter-attacked, with Alex particularly fluent with 32 and Noble 42 in taking us towards 150. Sadly it was not to be, once both perished – Noble throwing away his wicket while in pole position. The innings ended at 161 all out.

Dropped catches sink Buccs in Framlingham thriller

Posted on July 10, 2013

Gentlemen of Suffolk 273-9 beat Buccaneers 272-9 dec by one wicket

Old adversaries Mark Nicholls of The Gentlemen of Suffolk and Simon Woolfries both knew the shape of the match when Mark, on winning the toss, bravely chose to field in perfect batting conditions at Framlingham College last Sunday.

The opening overs were somewhat bizarre with Harry Franks sending down a volley of wides from one end while Roger Luxmore-Styles purveyed very slow, but accurate, left-armers from the other.

David Bugge settled in to make the most of his opportunity after a long journey but two early LBW decisions reduced the Buccs to 49-2. LBWs were to be a feature of the day with four in each innings. Sujay Chakravarti strode in at No4 and struck the ball impressively before failing to pick a googly from Alex Carlisle during a lengthy spell of testing leg spin. With Sujay departing for 40, the Buccs lunched at 135-3.

With Bugge sailing serenely on into the afternoon against a toiling Stephen Willis and more spin from Carlisle and Luxmore-Styles, the timing of the declaration loomed as a pivotal point in the match. Although Bugge finally fell for a fine 105, No8 Andy Morgan kept the score moving with an enterprising 43. Woolfries finally called a halt after 66 overs at 3.50pm on 272-9 which, he calculated, gave the Gents a target of about 6 runs an over for around 45 overs.

Richard Elston and Nick Hasler opened up with some tidy seamers but Taylor and Carr were in no great difficuly on this pitch until Carr was LBW to Elston. Hasler. unfortunately, pulled a muscle so Bugge, despite his long innings in the heat,
took over and delivered 9 accurate overs.

Harry Franks came in at No3 and the Buccs knew what to expect from the tall right-hander who had taken two rapid hundreds of them in previous encounters. Franks was soon unleashing drives of great power although most of them were
in the air so the introduction of John Bryant’s flighted off-spin
was likely to be a significant moment. So it proved, as Franks
hit his 2nd ball straight to a carefully-positioned long off who promptly dropped it.

Woolfries brought himself on just before the start of the last 20 overs and quickly had Taylor well caught by Hasler for 54.
At this stage the Gents had 8 wickets in hand and were well up with the required run rate but their attacking approach was producing regular chances, particularly of the patient Bryant.

Although Sujay Chakravarti held two well-judged catches at long on five others went down of Bryant. He was finally rewarded with the vital wicket of Franks who was stumped for a thunderous 107 at which stage any result seemed possible.

Tim Sheldon and Will Nicholls contributed twenties but Woolfries and Bryant worked their way through the Gents batting to set up a tense finish. Ian Collett finally saw his side home in the penultimate over in company with with the exhausted No11, Stephen Willis.

Such a close ending had seemed extremely unlikely an hour earlier when Franks was going strong. It was a great day in the sun and a triumph for declaration cricket!
