2) Cincinnati v Caribbean at Tooting

Team sheet: Oliver, Dan, Adam, Andy O, Rockie, Tim M, Tim R, Simon, Ed, Steve, Will.
Hmmm, a funny one this. For the second season on the trot, our opponents from Tooting only managed to muster 8 players. The most honest result would be 'Cincinnati win' after we dismissed all of their players for 80-odd. In order to give ourselves a challenging total to chase, however, we invited their batsmen to try again. The outcome was a target of 222.

We saw some good bowling displays again from Ed and the two chairmen (past and present). Debutant Will put in a tidy performance behind the stumps and we took some difficult catches in the field.

In reply, CCC had difficulty in getting going. After some early listing in the face of good bowling, Selfish Batter and Tim M steadied the ship with a carefully crafted partnership. SB selflessly conceded his innings one short of a half century, which brought Will A to the crease. Will showed us all how to pick holes in an 8-man field i.e. by hitting the ball over them all for 6. He was last man out for 31.

We ended up with a total of 150ish all out. Which was less than 222, or more than 80, depending on your perspective.

Thanks to the Skipper for umpiring all day.
