Interesting game yesterday.
We played the second oldest touring team in the country, I Zangari. A great group always good fun and play the game in the correct spirit.
They always bring a gun team to the HAC and yesterday was no exception.
They had a Kenyan International, Rhageb Aga (Rags) who the other day (apparently) smite the Dutch to all parts. He came out to bat at 4, after Fastereddie had seen off the openers, 1 middle stump flattened by a quick yorker, and the others off stump clipped by a let cutter.
I was at mid-off and all I saw for a while was the full face of a bat bought down at speed and with easy timing. my hands are sore and I ran a lot.
He nicked-off at 60 odd, thank-god. Our skip knows him as did the bowler who got him. They both said after that they expected him to get 150!! A bit good.
He then opened the bowling and a fair lick.
A really good game, cracking pitch, rock hard but a tad slow, but that's by county standards.
If you get a chance to play I Zengari, take it. They are always charming, heck they are Old Etonians!
A great day.
Oh, we started at 1130, lunch and tea (amazing catering but £39 a head! for subs!). 120 overs (I think), pub by 7.
