Wouldn’t it be more interesting if we collapsed now?

| NOTES |
| Simon Davie was donated to Tar Barrow, to make it eleven a side. |
| James Rivington’s catch of a scorching drive at mid-off, plucked with the fingertips of his left hand, received an oscar nomination. |
| Please study the “Fall of wickets” above to appreciate the true scale of the Erratics collapse, just as a comfortable victory was in sight. The scorebook reads: “Dispute exists as to whether winning run was scored on final or penultimate ball. But either way, damnably close!” |
