Dundee Uni Staff, 23rd June 2010

St AUSCC (159 for 6, D. Bransden 58, D.Petrie 1/19) beat Dundee Uni Staff (155 a.o., Varun 35*, T. Hine 4/32) by 4 runs

A very satisfying Ferrier Cup win last night against Dundee Uni Staff. They made 155 a.o. (Tom Hine 4/32) from their full 25 overs which we chased down inside 23 overs (Dom Bransden 58) with the now apparently compulsory three run outs making it a little nervy towards the end!
With the light fading and accurate bowling from Dundee, Dom and Stan slowly gathered runs without too many alarms until Dom fell in the 11th over for 21. Tom Hine introduced some much needed acceleration to the chase with some fine running between the wickets. He enjoyed the running so much that in a moment of some calling confusion he made it down to the strikers end then back into his own ground without getting run out - a remarkable feat! However, with a comfortable victory in sight, we contrived to make things interesting as Tom went LBW to Bailwal and Vikash was run out by Stan - his first victim of the year, but surely not his last :) Abdul then departed LBW to the very promising 11 year old Khalil, ensuring that the game went into the final over, Stan cracking a 4 to seal the game and his own 50.
