Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club 1st XI v Goresbrook on Sat 05 Jul 2025 at 12.30pm
Match was Drawn

Match report In a hard-fought Essex League encounter at Oakfield Parkonians, Goresbrook CC and Oakfield Parkonians CC played out an entertaining draw, with both sides putting in commendable performances in a match full of momentum shifts.

Having won the toss, Oakfield Parkonians elected to bowl first on a sunny afternoon. Goresbrook’s innings got off to a measured start, with opener Imon Ahmed (43 off 61) anchoring the early stages. He was supported by Jordan Calverley, who produced a standout innings of 111 from 112 balls, anchoring Goresbrook’s total. Calverley mixed patience with aggression, hitting 16 boundaries and a six, holding the innings together as wickets fell around him. Goresbrook’s middle order chipped in with useful contributions — Shane Barwick added 31 and Kane Messenger 25 — but it was Calverley’s composed hundred that formed the backbone of their 255 for 8 from the allotted 50 overs. For the visitors, Taranpreet Bhatia was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4 for 83 from 15 overs, while Paran Kalley impressed with 3 for 58 in a tight 16-over spell. Oakfield’s fielding effort was tidy, highlighted by a smart run-out and some sharp catching behind the stumps.

Chasing 256 for victory, Oakfield Parkonians had a shaky start, losing two early wickets including a duck for Eknath Dinesh Kerkar. However, a resilient 93-ball 61 from Faisal Bhatti steadied the ship. Bhatti played with maturity and patience, building a vital 110-run partnership with Umar Choudhry (52), who played fluently to keep the hosts in the hunt. Just as Oakfield looked to be in control, Goresbrook struck back through Shane Barwick. The all-rounder turned the game with a brilliant spell of 4 for 61 in 12 overs, removing Choudhry, Shahariyar Chaudhry, and two others in quick succession, derailing the chase. From 128 for 2, Oakfield slumped to 137 for 6. A late counterattack came from Paran Kalley, who smashed a rapid 48 off just 24 balls, including three fours and four towering sixes, injecting life back into the game. He was ably supported by Klain Fernando (31* off 20), but the required rate proved too steep as the overs ran out.

Oakfield finished their innings at 225 for 8 after 45 overs, falling 30 runs short of the target with two wickets in hand, resulting in a draw. Both sides showed resilience and flashes of brilliance. Goresbrook took 11 points from the contest, while Oakfield Parkonians earned 7. It was a match that showcased competitive league cricket at its best, with moments of individual excellence and tactical swings throughout — fittingly ending without a clear winner.
