Notes:
When Tony Poulter, flying in from exotic parts, failed to appear, the next member of the Green dynasty, 13-year-old Simon, was gratefully signed up.
A 35-overs game.
The Erratics won the toss and elected to field.
Max McKay celebrated his first-ever wicket for the Erratics.
Debutant Simon Green made an early bid for both the Fielding Oscar and the season’s Champagne Moment with his amazing one-handed catch on the long-on boundary.

Notes:
Tristan Ward tweaked a hamstring, thereby cunningly avoiding having to run many of his runs.
With five needed to win off the last over, David Brook calmed Erratics’ nerves by smashing the first ball for four ... then patted back two dot balls, before scrambling the winning single.

Erratics won by 6 wickets
