Result from SCU Trophy Semi:
At Arboretum.
Holy Cross Academicals 185-6 (50 overs)
C. Ellis 54, S.Pickering 29
NOSCA 186-5 (34.3 overs)
R. Main 45
D. Wolton 43
More details to follow once I've calmed down a bit.
In summary, on a difficult wicket (on which 185 should have taken some getting), the first 7 overs from the Newfield end went for 76 runs with a mixture of full bungers and slow long hops and full bungers and full bungers ... As bad a series of overs that I've seen bowled at Arbo (and I've seen plenty Dyer efforts). Rather frustrating given the hard work we'd put in to get our runs.
Apologies to our supporters (Coco, pvb, Mark B, Mahmood, Michael) who had to witness such garbage.

Heads up chaps.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that there is no truth in the rumour that pharmaceutical giants Pfizer have been in touch with Euan this morning with an offer to harden up the Team with a week's worth of their main product in a bid to help them raise their game and get past a semi next Sunday...
perhaps i need some to toughen up my thumb...
ReplyDeleteFat fingers, but happy girfriend!
ReplyDeleteIt was only Charlie's thumb - mind you, who knows if a swollen thumb is a suitable substitute for Lady Ellis!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all recorded - X certificate - not suitable for those of a nervous disposition.
ReplyDeleteWell bowled Dougie - and very well batted Simon & Charlie.
