Eastcote CC v Hornsey Cricket Club 3rd Team on Sat 11 Jun 2005 at
Hornsey Cricket Club Lost 7 wickets
The Hornsey line up on paper looked the best of the season, yet they would have looked more at home in a police line up, their crime woeful batting. The opening four going for 31 runs, middle order 68 runs and the tail 58 runs.
Jaz Cable continued to show promising form batting patiently with some stunning strokes, Jamie Duff after a casual start suddenly plundered 17 runs of 5 balls but it was the young
(Browne) and the old (Emmerson) who exhibited the only real resistance. Darren Browne scoring 29, 28 in boundaries of 34 balls. Emmerson 27 not out contributing to a 21 run 9th wicket partnership with Peters and 20 run 10th wicket partnership with Giles who failed to score.
The Hornsey innings closed all out for 157...but the score was not the only casualty. Disco keen to get some additional batting practice in the nets with Duff, who sent down a delivery that Disco top edged on to his left minced pie, first blood to Duff and a call to Captain compassion for medical advice.
With Disco nursing his wounds and looking, with his good pie, for a hospital. Hornsey went into the field with ten men before possible Hornsey’s youngest player ever came to the filed, Jack Bruce. However it was not sufficient to stop Eastcote from getting stuck into the Hornsey attack. McKinnon pushing the ball through at blistering pace but failed to pick up any more that the one wickets despite vociferous appeals. In a desperate attempt Peters mixed up the bowling Vara picking up a single wicket and danger man Duff collecting an L.B.W with the scores level. With Emmerson failing to notice the change of over and possibly the end of the game Eastcote knocked of the total in 30 overs with their number three Bramble scoring 71 not out.
