NOTES
1. The entire match was played in the rain. Why do we do it?
2. The early Erratics’ batting collapsed (John Truscott fell first ball to a diving left-handed catch at backward point by Rivington); at one point the score was 19 for 6. Tony Richards rallied the lower order; when he was the ninth man out, tailenders Hywel Roberts and Richard Heller hung on for the draw.
3. The Erratics team in full: Parsley, Hattam, Truscott, Bush, Berrigan, Russell, Meller, Richards†, Evans*, Roberts, Heller.
