Lovely hot calm day, calm sea Pre-arranged toss (i.e. we batted first) Rich and Adrian immobile throughout the game, which made fielding difficult We had just 10 players again 35 overs was decided, due to 2:30pm start We batted first Rich in tonking form, Jimmy looking really good Rich caught one-handed at long-on! A shame…as he was just starting to open up Fast outfield Jon G and Vinay got in and out...we all got ourselves out DP yorked by a beaut They bowled pretty well… We were 60 runs short of a competitive total Great tea as always...scones, roast spuds, pasta… We took 4 wickets, bowlers really tried hard and bowled really well Esp. Tim, Grant, Vinay and Dave G One very strong lbw from Tim was turned down! That decision deflated us. Good guys….enjoyable game, but disappointing performance overall Then a quick pint, and DP selected Tim Moore as recipient for the Devon Tourist award - well deserved for his massive bowling efforts and some useful runs Then back to London. It was a great tour.
