| Report : What an interesting match this turned out to be. Heavy rain overnight, a damp morning, but a well-covered pitch saw a host of runs scored. In fact Greenmount declared after 38 overs, while Heaton's innings lasted 42 overs and nearly stole an unlikely victory. Another solid batting performance by Greenmount led by pro Shetty, resulted in another 200+ total. The question is, who in this league can bowl out this team? Heaton replied with John Fearick in fine batting form and good support from the middle order which nearly saw them reach Greenmount's total set confidently by captain Mark Fallon. The small crowd where highly entertained, so were the cows in the adjacent farmers field ! |
