EUSCC Freeze Against StudentsJim Nicholson Friday, May 11, 2001 15:55 GMTThursday night's game against the Uni 3rd XI was played in a bitterly cold wind and with the haar rolling in off the North Sea - quite a shock to the players who had been looking forward to an evening' of warm sunshine after a very pleasant day. Paul B, captain for the day, won the toss and put the students in to bat. As usual, the students didn't take things too seriously and reversed their batting order. Thus hopes were raised as Gareth claimed two wickets, both clean-bowled, in the first over and Stewart got in on the act with another in the second. 10-3 off 2 overs soon became 40-6 off 8 and then 90-9 off 17. By now though they had their class batsmen in and they rattled 30-odd off the last three overs to finish somewhere in the vicinity of 130-9 from 20 overs. Naturally this was all a bit demoralising for the staff and the target set never looked likely, especially with the students performing so well and energetically in the field. Once again though it was left to only one or two of their players to do all of the damage. The staff innings made it to 80-something for 6 off their alloted overs - before everyone headed off home to try to warm up as the mists closed in. We will be looking for revenge on the 7th June. |
