Ah well – it had to happen eventually (after last year’s record) – matches get rained off! Both the First and Second XI got well deserved (but not wanted!) rests whilst the Third’s struggled on through the weather.
At least some got a run out on Sunday, in weather more commonly associated with the mid-Atlantic Ocean, blowing Gale Force 8. Against Leicester Banks, Amateur batted first and posted 203, which, given the conditions was a decent total. In reply, Banks were struggling until their middle order came in and upped the tempo. The game went into the last over with Banks needing 7 from 6, Amateur needing 2 wickets. Runs were taken from the first five deliveries, leaving Banks needing 1 to win from the last ball, bowled by Mick Butterworth. Fortunately the ball didn’t go far off the bat, enabling Steve French to complete a run-out, meaning the game ended in a tie with Banks on 203-9.
p.s. come on people – start posting again!
