If Steve Rouse reckons that the Edgbaston test pitch is currently like 'Jelly', then we played on one resembling a custard coated biscuit (this was no fault of the groundstaff at Peffermill; just the weather)
In a match shortened to 13 overs per side:
Holy Cross 97/3
K. Fraser 33*, A. Quinn 30 *
Edinburgh University Staff 66/6
C. McGill 2/9 (3 overs)
U. Shazad 2/11 (3 overs)
C. O. Smith 1/15 (3 overs)
HX total built round a good partnership between Fraser and Quinn after early wickets, featuring some good back foot play. Usama was the pick of the bowlers, showing good control given the slippery footholds and sodden ball.
