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!).
