MH reports: It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce Pacific
CC¹s first glorious victory of the 1999 season.
C: 160-8. R Maher 39* D Roberts 11-0-38-3 N Wilkinson 11-2-26-3
P: 162-2. D Murray 61* A Duthie 39 Rapley 6-1-20-1
C were crushed in a massive
onslaught in which David Murray again proved what an asset he is to the club
with a comfortable half century. P having lost the toss & being asked to
field, it was not long before young Darryl Roberts had notched himself 3
wickets (the second a beauty to behold). Cracks were already beginning to
appear in the C defence. In 3 hours batting they had achieved a modest 160-8
declared. The fielding was still rusty but the quality bowling & creditable
catching from Adrian Duthie & Tim Mileham ensured this gettable target.
Adrian & debutante Colin Chance wasted no time in ripping into the C attack
& it took a questionable lbw decision to render the opening partnership
asunder, Cue David Murray. text book cutting & driving on his favourite hard
wicket & before too long, P had romped home & all were on their way to the
White Lion & Mortimer for Dave¹s 50 jug.²
