The Fixture List indicates an 11.30 start but with only 85 overs bowled that looks unlikely. Also Whiteway and Blumberg began batting at 5.30pm. So we must assume an afternoon start or a rain effected match.If anyone can remember the match do let us know. For the skipper it was one of his marathon efforts!
