The 2nd XI travelled away today to face Falcon, who made 260-6 from their 40 overs. Unfortunately, the 2nds fell just short, being bowled out for 2 and giving Falcon a narrow 258-run victory.. Therapy will begin this week for those involved. @SkyCricket @bbctms

It has to be noted that Buckden batsmen did not even score one run and handed over a victory of massive 258 runs to Falcon. The two runs that came were due to a wide and a bye.
After facing the embarrassing feat, the skipper of Buckden CC Joel Kirschner stated that he had certainly got more grey hair after taking the role of captain. He added that many players could not make it to the match as they had some family commitments.
"We only had eight at the start, aged between 15 and 50 – and Graham Pearce arrived 30 overs in because he'd been working. We had 15 players unavailable, two or three were injured, the others had family commitments – and there was one no-show. We are genuinely not a bad team. When we played Falcons before we only lost by nine runs," Joel told BBC Sport.
Joel had won the toss and decided to put Falcons to bat first. Buckden did not start poor, but lost track of the game but managed to put good 260 runs on the board.
Faheem and Murad Ali stitched a 132-run stand and it became substantial in pushing the Falcons towards a respectable score in 40 overs.
