On a warm Wednesday evening in the middle of a heat wave, BA was outclassed by a strong Genetics side at Blue Flames. BA batted first, and were unlucky to get a dubious caught behind decision go against them in the early overs. Worse was to come, and some excellent catching by the Genetics team, and the fact that a weakened BA only had nine men turn up, meant that they could only manage to score 54 all out. Chris Mee bowled well with 3 wickets, and was well supported by Grant Mason. Brian Taylor (2 wickets), and Gary van Doorn (3 wickets) wrapped up the tail with a minimum of fuss. With 10 points within grasp, and a strong batting line-up, the Genetics team went all out to overhaul the small target, only losing 2 wickets on the way. Andrew Porteous used up several more of his nine lives (25 not out), but batted well to see the target reached in just over 6 overs. So maximum points attained, and there are just two more league games left in the season to gain promotion.
