Losing Start for the MidWeek XIJim Nicholson Wednesday, May 02, 2001 10:01 GMTAfter last week's abandonment due to the weather, the EUSCC midweek side played their first game of the season against Drummond at Peffermill on a glorious evening. Drummond won the toss and batted first, making good progress against good bowling that unfortunately suffered due to the slow but reliable pitch. Only two of the Drummond batsmen made decent scores but they did so quickly and at the end of 18 overs they had reached 100 for 7. Matt C was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets from his 4 overs, while Chris, Stewart and Nick L also chipped in with wickets. The EUSCC reply found the first few overs difficult in the face of very accurate bowling. However, once the Drummond wicketkeeper had been taken to hospital and the change bowlers were called upon, runs became easier to find and the score picked up. Despite a frantic last few overs, EUSCC couldn't quite keep up with the ever-increasing required runrate and in the end fell 5 runs short of their target. Pick of the batsmen were Stewart and Paul E who put on 30+ together, and then later on, Nick L and especially top-scorer Mark who took us close to Drummond's total. Hope that everyone enjoyed the game and that there will be many more close games such as this one, with everyone getting to take part. Thanks too to Matt and Douglas for their emergency fielding for the depleted opposition (great catch Douglas). |
