Blindley Heath

Sun  6 June                                Blindley Heath                      Abandoned (rain)

    We    101/4 in 20.2 overs    (Azam 38, Gore 24*, Kidwai 21, Oppe 10*, Eden 3/35)

    They    -

A sharp shower (and a drizzly aftermath) on the uncovered wicket midway into our innings put paid to any hope of continuing the match.  Furquan Kidwai and Usman Azam started like an express train scoring 47 in 6 overs before Furqui was bowled.  Usman’s enterprising innings of 38 in 29 balls ended when he too had his stumps shattered this time by Eden, who then took two further wickets.  Skipper San Gore and Mark Oppe kept the momentum going until the heavens opened.  Bags were packed, Cobras opened, and that was that.
