CCC pulled off another spectacular win, this time against Paddlers at a gloomy Bates Cottages last night.
Starting with only 8 players CCC bowled first and saw the home team off to a flyer with the ball fizzing to the boundary with regularity. Paddlers were 101-2 after only 6 overs when Majid and Mudassar arrived. With neutral league umpires the rule book was applied accordingly and Majid was unable to bowl until 35 minutes had elapsed. This left Greg to take the bowling plaudits with 2-21, an excellent performance in the circumstances, as Paddlers were reduced to 148-5 from their 12 overs. CCC's deep catching was again excellent with Nick, Simon E, Majid and Greg all taking good ones.
It transpired that Paddlers themselves only had 8 players. Greg initially took advantage, hammering 43 from 22 balls whilst his brother got going. In the end excellent hitting from Nick (72 not out) and Majid (27), in almost pitch darkness, saw CCC home by 8 wickets with 11 balls to spare.
