It is easy to get consumed with frustration, disappointment and anger at the things we think went wrong particularly in this game gone by.

Nevertheless, accolades to the following:

1.⁠ ⁠G.Tunnacliffe - Great personnel management, outstanding cameo and deserved a century as well as excellent enthusiasm in the field under the "cyclonic" circumstances

2.⁠ ⁠A.Johns - Warm welcome accorded along with a terrific middle order counterattack featuring exemplary Tendulkar'esque shots, including 1 late cut which flew over the slip cordon

3.⁠ ⁠L.Nieboer - For a La-bus-change'esque middle order rebuild of an innings as we look forward to a wonderful season from this emerging young talent and Saturday league feature player

4.⁠ ⁠L.Parks - Many congratulations for reaching 6000 runs milestone and for holding the 1st half of the total setting together when the "tremors" were felt as the CCC left arm Trent Boult'esque seamer was sizzling

5.⁠ ⁠T.Lonnen - Veteran and "rock of Gibraltar" when the bowling was faltering under the Sunday sun and the CCC openers were far too good in the run chase

6.⁠ ⁠S.Carson - Reliable off spin at the end of the bowling innings and deserved a few wickets

Sincerest acknowledgments accorded to CCC for their hospitality, conviviality and sportsmanship. An out-of-London fixture not to be discounted.
