ZAMI CAMBRIDGE TOUR REPORT, Wednesday 13 July 2011
As the spinners came on VRA’s late middle order showed some resistance as Dekkers (21), van Mierlow (25), Jaffri (21) and Noronha (27) each found some rhythm - particularly against the bowling of Granta’s new signing, a certain Mr Louis Collignon (5-0-35-0)! However, it all seemed to be too little and too late as the day’s cricket ground sadly to its close, like an old clock that has forgotten how to chime. VRA closed on just 156 for 9, a full 79 runs short of Granta’s total, and the hosts were worthy winners. One feature of note, in a side full of VRA’s misfiring finest, the Zami gentlemen held their own (an all too frequent habit amongst Zami cricketers!) as Joost, Willem, Abbas and Ronald contributed 3 of the 4 wickets to fall and 94 of VRA’s runs. §
