Match Report

Match report Eltham CC Vs Petts Wood CC

Eltham lost for the first time here but in truth were beaten by the better bowling team on the day.

Nonetheless, a very enjoyable match against a good oppo. Chief memory for your correspondent however is the spectator who decided to stand behind me while scoring and have a chat about the match. Just as Pad got out, chipping one to midwicket, the spectator (clearly used to watching a much higher level!) asked me "Why did he play that technically inept shot?" I had no answer to this, but felt that if he considered our top 2018 batsman to be technically inept, he probably shouldn't hang around for my own innings!
