Having enjoyed a welcome dry spell, the ACG’s outfield presented a good opportunity for runs to be scored, and this prospect was voraciously seized upon by Cows Ali Khan, hammering 137 not out, off just 48 deliveries to utterly demoralise the day’s opposition.
The game’s proceedings began with Cows captain Joe Ninan winning the toss and deciding to bat. Ninan and Jeremy Bootsy marched to the middle, with Bootsy making good use of the new ball in finding several early boundaries behind square on the off side, while Ninan (33 off 39) aimed for a less dramatic start.
