Balmain Wanderers

As was expected by all, the Rest of the World team romped home in the annual cricket derby despite the some favourable umpiring. Extras topped the scoring charts for the English in a sad state affairs, while the ROTW boys recovered nicely after pace spear head JP Duminy Quail was called for an illegal action. His 22 ball opening over was dripping with controversy but the ROTW kept their heads up and proceeded to drive home the advantage.

A strong performance from the Engine, who let his numbers do the talking (25 runs, 1 wicket and 2 catches) ensured that the English will have to wait another year to avenge themselves. This was all despite their resplendant blue kit making even the most pale team member look dapper.

Kick the new season off with a bang with the annual cricket match at the home of football cricket, Easton Park.

As usual the pale brethren of England take on the swarthy might of the Australians Rest of the World in a contest that is rarely even. Can the English recover their pride after some stinging defeats from past years.

The game is a 10.15am for 10.30am start, see you all there…
