Scorecard

Babbacombe CC v Crane Cricket Club Crane on Sun 10 Jul 2005 at 1.30pm
Crane Cricket Club Won Win by 62 runs

Match report
The final game of tour was at the very concave ground of Babbacombe CC - a ground that would be perfect for any golf hole with its dips and bends – in an area of Torquay that is a resort in itself. The cliff-top promenade (the highest in Britain) enjoys stunning views of Petitor Beach and across Lyme Bay that, on a clear day, can stretch as far as Golden Cap in Dorset.

Batting first again, vice-captain Amo at the helm, Crane got off to a solid start with Zubin and Jim scoring 73 for the first wicket off 17 overs. The opposition bowled 10 bowlers and Crane pressed-on to make their third successive score of 200 with all the batsmen contributing, without a single duck made.

Babbacombe came out to bat chasing a score that was 30-odd runs higher than the average score made on the pitch. They got off to good start but soon buckled under the pressure of chasing a huge score.

Crane returned the bowling favour and for the first time in Crane’s history all eleven players bowled (with Romy taking over keeping duties as Anoop got into the action).

Crane went on to victory with 60 runs to spare.

Another fun day out for all. Well done to Babbacombe for a pleasurable game and a special mention & thanks to them for their great hospitality and for providing a lovely tea and drinks to all, on what was a very hot day.

A final appreciation for Crane’s overseas Spanish star Zubin who, with the help of his Fan Club and his own aching body, brought a smile to everyone’s face with his enthusiasm, cricketing fiesta (he made 35 runs, took 3 wickets and caught 2 catches) and by playing the entire match in his ‘Thanks for Coming’ t-shirt, which he can keep.
