A hugely
weakened Goodwill side traveled to Ickenham under the joint
leadership of Messers Smith and Hughes. Ickenham III were
to provide the opposition, but an amazing transformation saw the
Goodwill facing Ickenham II with a few of Ickenham I.
Goodwill needed a
bit of luck, but none seemed to be forthcoming, as Ickenham
racked up 310 in their 40 overs. One opener hit 99,
another got a century.....a nice afternoon chasing leather round
the park. Despite the figures, some good bowling went
laregely unrewarded.
Chasing
the mammoth target, the Wanderers got off to a poor start, with
opener Correa going second ball to what was described as the
best ball he'd ever faced. In other words - he missed a
straight one. A few people got starts but most were out
trying to play scoring shots. Dush Sharma with 26 and some
aggressive stroke play by Mike Wallace
with a career best 32 saw the Goodwill to a usually half decent
total of 141.
