Eleven Wickets Against 8-Man H&HJim Nicholson Wednesday, June 06, 2001 09:43 GMTI don't quite know what it will do for this season's averages but EUSCC bowlers had a fine time on Tuesday night when they managed to take 11 wickets against Scottish Home & Health, despite only 8 of the opposition turning up! Chris and Jim opened the bowling in the 18-over match and proved to be EUSCC's most expensive bowlers as the H&H openers made a solid enough start. However, both finished their spells with double- wickets maidens which changed the complexion of the game totally. It was decided that H&H should bat for the full 18 overs, with second innings allowed, so as to give everyone a proper game and to set us a target. Richard C and Ewen came into the attack and both took a wicket (Rich's first for the club) and Nick was unlucky not to get one in his sole over. Dave F and Raghu finished the innings and each got wickets, as well as a run out off the last ball. H&H had made it to 40 off their overs, for the loss of 11 wickets, one unfortunate batsman collecting a pair. The EUSCC reply was opened by Paul D and Martin and they sensibly went about accumulating the 2 or 3 runs an over required to reach the target. Paul certainly had to rein himself at times as he resisted the temptation to dispatch every bad ball to the boundary. Both batsmen went with the score on 23, and both to lbw decisions. Dave B and Richard replaced them and kept the score ticking along. Unfortunately Richard didn't get to see the winning runs scored as he was dismissed for 7, instead Nick was at the non-strikers end when Dave hit the winning 4. A good and friendly match which everyone seemed to enjoy - apologies to those who didn't get a great deal of batting or bowling - your time will come. |
