Harpsden Thrash Mortagees

On a warm summers evening, Harpsden tort the Mortagees a lesson. Brown cross examined the technique of N. Weston and he was judged to be out despite evidence to suggest the ball never touched the bat. After S. Gosper was well court by Bradley at cover, it was a case of polishing off the long tail which was done quickly. Eventually the Mortagees were dismissed for 61 runs thanks to the excellent bowling of the Browns and Welford, who exhibited prodigious skill in removing their 10 and 11.

The result looked a foregone conclusion but after Cary was guilty of throwing his wicket away in the first over, the jury was out. Ian Brown and Adam Birkett restored order with a stand of 30 and the match was won after just 13 overs.
