Heavy rain brought our match vs Dundee High FPs at Arbo to a premature conclusion.
The competition rules would suggest that we were ahead of the run rate at the time but....
we'll leave it to Cricket Scotland to sort out...
Holy Cross 238-5
C. Ellis 118, E. Smith 81
E. Parsons 2-25
J. Landwehr 2-23
I believe that the partnership of 193 between Smith and Ellis may well constitute a new 1st team record-beating the previous best of 174 (though that remains the league record) achieved in 1978 (PVB and HK, can you double check...). It's certainly the most these two batsman have put on together: beating the 146 they put on in the same competition at Forfar last year and the 132 they put on at Goldenacre in 2005.
Dundee HSFP 54-2 off 13 overs
K. Kyles 35*
S. Bonfield 2-19

HJK has confirmed that 193 is a new record - there were 50 century partnerships up to 2008 with the best being 174 on July 1st 1978 for the 3rd wicket by Dennis Cartwright (98 with 11 fours and 4 sixes) and Barry Acutt(69); they took us from 39-3 to 216-4. HJK and PVB both played. Castings were 86-8 with 26 overs to go, but they held out for a draw; they folded in 1981.
ReplyDeleteIn that case, Congratulations to Charlie and Euan. I look forward to participating in the drinking of the several 'jugs' that now need to be bought to celebrate the fact!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, well said Ziggy!
ReplyDeleteAnd well done to the guys, may not be the most ideal circumstances, but you could argue that the 2 outsanding performances deserved the win
