Tuesday September 2nd v Norfolk Seniors
Cancelled due to Horrendous Forecast which surprised some as it was sunny until 3.30pm whereupon the first deluge hit Diss followed by an even greater one at 4.30pm! So decision justified.
The team was -Bill Johnson, Andy Marshall, Jeremy Lascelles, Adrian Houston, Gerard Soames, Arvind Joshi, Nigel Bloch, Eric Davey-wkt, David Loveridge, Vamsi Sukhavesi, Sunny Fernando. Umpire Mark Williams, Scorer-Vic Devers
Henry Blofeld was due to join us for this game. When told of the cancellation he remarked ” My word if ECB cancelled matches because of the forecast we would never have had a Test Match at Old Trafford Manchester!”
His eminence ‘The Pope’ alias Andrew Gregory had flown to USA for some Academic Event. Presumably the Rain Gods were displeased by this absence!
