Ringwood were bowled out for 16 by Fawley seconds – before four of their players had even arrived !
They pitched up on Waterside for the Hampshire League Regional 2 South West match with only seven players – the missing four having been delayed en route from Birmingham, where they had stayed after watching the second day of the ‘pink ball’ Test between England and the West Indies.
Fortunately, Ringwood won the toss and batted, but with Dean Godden taking 5-5 they lost six wickets in ten overs and were dismissed for a meagre 16 – with still no sign of the Edgbaston Four.
Ironically, a few balls into Fawley’s innings, Ringwood’s missing players arrived – just in time to do a spot of fielding and watch the oilmen canter to a ten-wicket win.
