Match Report Date - 12/08/07 Oppo – Capricorn (h) Type – 40 Overs Report by Dave Revell The O's freshly back from an undefeated tour and with a weakened side, soon slipped back into natural ways. Getting smashed all over the park by some excellent batting from Capricorn. With Z Patel carrying his bat for 122 NO. Skipper S Patel also getting 97. O's responded in fine form with an opening stand of 159 between Bob James and Liam Mulholland Both going on to get 74 and 75 respectively. Unfortunately after Bob's dismissal, the following batsmen could not keep the momentum going and the O's soon fell behind the run rate, but still achieving their highest score of the year so far. A good game played in excellent spirit by both sides. Champagne moment....A good debut was made by Rees Martin for the O's, who bowled very well against a good batting team.
