Wednesday 12 th December v Old Woodridgeans Sports Club.

The day was gloomy with fine mist and rain hbowever we decided to go ahead on time with another 50 overs game starting at 10.00. We used the conditions well ( the opposition kept remarking that we must have felt at home bowling with a wet ball!) and they were bowled out for 189 with only Grant Lockhead scoring effectivley - he must like playing against us, this time he scored 69, on the last tour as a school boy he scored a century against us altho on that occasion he was dropped 4 times!. Pick og the bowlers was Shameel Khan 1 for 16 off 8 overs, Abhi Bothra 3 for 26 off 7 overs and Faiz Khan 3 for 27 off 9. Johnny Russell not only took an excellent catch in the deep but also ran out one of their opening batsmen with a direct hit. Bancroft's batted well in better conditions. Anand Patel scored a good 69 and was well suported by Visakan Balakumar 21, Faiz Khan 29 and James Tuplin 24 not out. A good victory after which the team was taken to Port Elizabeth where they enjoyed any one of a variety of eating places in the Broadwalk shopping mall.
