The final day of the Devon Tour started off nice enough, and a brisk walk on the pebbly beach provided our weary heads with a refresh. It was the annual family day at Budleigh Salterton CC, so the club was busy with locals. India vs. Australia at the world cup provided some additional interest on big screens in the club house. We batted first, and JG promptly slammed his first ball for a sumptuous four through extra cover, and was then cleaned up two balls later. However, more criticall, after 5.3 overs heavy rain set in, as forecast, and that was pretty much that. We decided not to award a tourist of the year, due to the lack of cricket, and made early our journeys back to London (except the Gower bros who went off for some sea kayaking).
