Saturday Results Digest.
1sts
Edinburgh 2 80ao (Obeid 40, Bainbridge 5/27, P. Kumar 3/14) lost to Holy Cross 81-1 (S. Pickering 31*, N. Metha 21).
Getting Mazhar (700+ runs this season) for 0 was key (top delivery from Bimbo: top catch from Spick). After that, good spells from Bimbo and Praveen pressurised an understrength Edinburgh batting line-up into some 'ambitious' shots. A useful partnership (assisted by a few fielding lapses) between nos 9 & 10 showed that the pitch was perfectly playable before Milly ended it with one of his signature submarine balls. New boy Pat ended the innings with his third ball - a useful delivery that hit the top of off.
Runs efficiently knocked off (against some decent bowling, with the pitch doing some odd things) by Nipun, Spickers and cje.
Surprisingly early finish meant we could enjoy the Bates and Bailey show at Arbo and the BBQ (cheers to Bainbro, Mandy and Michael for their organisational efforts).

Well worth reading the quirky Carlton report - here's an excerpt
ReplyDelete"Legendary clean air enthusiast Colin McGill was now Burning Down the House at the top end and in a haze of tobacco smoke had Grant for a priceless and top drawer 45. McGill didn't need a cigarette break before castling Fantasy Bob for a big blobby 0.

ReplyDelete'Well worth reading the quirky Carlton report'
agreed-seems like Carlton also have a safety committee...
CoCo was also described as "Sex Bomb McGill" - although, to be fair, there was a bit of a Tom Jones theme going on ......
