Old Edwardians Cricket Club

Old Edwardians v Studley Birmingham & District Premier League - Division Two (East) - 2nd XIs Memorial Ground, Streetsbrook Road, 25 May 2002 Result: Match drawn. Points: Old Edwardains 10 pts; Studley 6. Toss: Studley elected to field. A damp afternoon resulted in an uninteresting draw in which Studley made no attempt to chase an achievable target. Even when Terry McMichael attempted to buy wickets towards the end of the game (sorry Phil!) Studley were only interested in a draw. Earlier John Evans scored his first century, with good support from Dave Lowe and Paul Roberts. Having been 14 for 4, 186 was a decent total which should have produced a close finish. Although Roberts and Fletcher then bowled tidily the game drifted to a draw. The most bizarre aspect of the day was that Keith Lowe, once again, bowled a good spell without taking any wickets. He has now played nearly all the matches this season and won't take a wicket until June (at least!).
