The Erratics finally ended a June drought with a win against Newton St
Cyres in the Cheriton Fitzpaine Big Bash. The victory was characterised
by our very own brand of 'sensible T20 cricket' - eschewing the 'swing
for the fences' approach generally favored in this format we tapped and
nurdled our way to a modest and respectful 110, followed up by some old
fashioned consistent line and length bowling, which was sufficient to
secure a 34 run win. It may not be what the crowds flock to the CP 'Big
Bash' for (it was suggested it might be rebranded the 'Gentle Nudge'
when we play) but our low-scoring, play-to-our-strengths approach has
now won us 3 out of 4 games in the tournament and secured a place at
Finals Day. Read Matt Crawford's match report
