THE PRESIDENT'S XI
CRICKET CLUB

v. MILLFIELDS
2 SEPTEMBER 2006

LOST BY 174 RUNS

The Presidents played at 'home' (but at Dundonald Park instead of the usual Haydons Road venue) and against a new opposition Millfields on a gloomy windy afternoon. A combination of these three facts may help to explain how the team conceded its largest ever total in a 35 over match when Millfields batted first.

Millfields innings of 289-3 was dominated by opener Tom Collis who accumulated 129 not out through the 35 overs. Ravi was the best of the President's bowlers, winning two very good LBWs to stem the tide in mid-innings but Millfields renewed their assault on the bowling to leave the Presidents with a daunting total to chase at above 8 an over.

After Tea, Prabha and Jey gave the innings a bright start before wickets starting falling. Raheel top scored on 24 with some strong hitting and Guy and Tony also played some good shots. But the target was always much too much and the innings closed on 115 all out leaving the President's men to reflect on what proved to be the second largest defeat in the Club's history - lost by 174 runs.
