Scorecard

Erratics Cricket Club Erratics v Tipton St John on Sat 27 Jun 2009 at 2pm
Erratics Cricket Club Lost by 16 runs

Match report Question: You need just 150 to win, though it is a bit of a tricky wicket. You are 127 for 4 with some 10 overs remaining. Let's make that clear - 23 to win, with 6 wickets in hand and an run-rate of about 2 an over, comfortably within the 5 an over at which you have been scoring, thanks not least to a stylishly violent 54 from Martin Weiler. Indeed, as Andrew McRae, one of the batsmen at this point in the game said to me as umpire, "I really don't see us losing from here." So let's get back to the question: How do you manage to lose from this position?

Answer: It's easy, really. In the space of four overs, you lose 6 wickets for just 4 runs, only 1 of which comes off the bat. 127 for 4 turns into 131 all out and defeat is seized without difficulty from the jaws of seemingly inevitable victory.
