| NARRATIVE |
| A ten-a-side match. |
| Chris Dunabin earned an oscar nomination for a catch diving forward at fly-slip. Richard Heller and Don Brind combined to reduce Chesterton from 149 for 6 to 150 for 9 (all out). |
| The first two Erratics wickets fell in the 7th over, with the score on 17. Then in four overs of mayhem, the Erratics crashed from 24 for 2 to 28 for 6. At this point, with Jeremy Walker and Richard Heller at the crease (and with only a couple of lads to follow), and with a Chesterton victory likely to follow all too soon, the opening bowlers were taken off. |
| Big mistake. Jeremy and Richard accumulated 124 (a new record for an unbroken stand) to win the match. In the process, each scored his maiden fifty for the Erratics. Truly heroic. |
