On a sun drenched Newfield the Cross succumbed to Accies in the the newly named Activcity 20:20 (formerly Cow Corner).
Haven't got the book so details are scarce but on a very good batting track Accies posted 186 batting first mainly thanks to a very good innings of 73* from the wicket keeper No3, which included a big straight 6 off the advice of KF. 40 odd from the no4/5 and some very ropey ground fielding also helped them on their way to a decent but not impossible total.
Cross started well in reply with EC and Pickering making 20/30 odd each and we were in touching distance of the run rate after 10 overs. Wickets fell regularly and despite a 30 odd from Calum we needed a good partnership to emerge to keep in the mix. Unfortunately this didn't happen and we were all out for 150 odd.
Our midweek hopes now rest with the upcoming Masterton 2nd round and hopefully our luck will change.

ReplyDelete'which included a big straight 6 off the advice of KF' ???
ReplyDeleteTo cut a long story short KF took control of the gloves for the game. Midway through one of Dougies overs he chirped up that he should "give it some air".......as the ball swiftly crashed into the sight screen he was heard to utter that KF should take the runs against his name 0-0-0-6
