For the umpteenth time our attempt to win the Edinburgh Parks Trophy was ended by Edinburgh CC. A superb 100+ from Raja Javed led Edinburgh to 168-5 against a weakened HX bowling 'attack' (Skipper Smith turned his arm over, taking three wickets - but, like most of us, conceding plenty boundaries) -Bonfield, Russell and Andy G the only bowlers to avoid serious tap.
Excellent knocks from Keith F (70+) and Calum (40 +) had Edinburgh rattled before Keith finally fell to a catch by MOM Javed near the square leg boundary. We finished on 156-8.
Because of tonight's match, attendance at nets on Wednesday may be smaller than it has been. Can anyone free in the evening make every effort to attend (even if for just part of the evening) -we don't want to lose the momentum we had in the early weeks of the season.

I'll apologise now for mine (and Andy G's) absence as we have a uni match tomorrow

ReplyDeleteWhat was so impressive about these fine innings was that the bowling was of a high standard, as one would expect from three regular SNCL bowlers who bowled 12 of the 20 overs.
'three regular SNCL bowlers'
ReplyDeleteI thought they were only allowed 2 of the SNCL players?-or has one of them only begun playing in their 1st team this season?
