Thame Town produced an unusually poor bowling display as they were batted out of the match by Division 2 West basement boys Farnham Royal in the Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier Lleague.

Put in to bat, Farnham got off to a flier on a good pitch with fine knocks from Daniel Simpson, Duncan Bradshaw, Ollie Clayson and Javed Khan.

Wayward bowling helped them rack up a challenging 257-6.

In reply, Thame tried to remain positive, but could never get any momentum.

Cameos from Pratik Patel, Manoj Parmar and overseas player Vandit Jivrajani helped them reach 170-7 by the close.
