FAIR OAK 49 ALL OUT - AND ALMOST WIN !

18/7/2017

Eighteen wickets fell for less than 100 runs at Holbury – but neither Fawley captain Callum Earl nor Andy Mash, his Fair Oak opposite number, pointed a finger at the pitch !
“Just some very good bowling and some very poor batting all round,” the two captains agreed after a bizarre British Gas Southern League Division 3 bottom of the table scrap.
Fair Oak were shot out for a club low 49 but came close to defending their meagre score as Fawley’s batting similarly fell apart.
Adam Freeman (4-11) and spinner Wayne Smith (4-17) did the damage for Fawley, who looked as though they would stroll it when Matt Brown and Ernst Knacke eased their reply to 26 without loss.
Astonishingly, Fawley lost eight wickets for 18 runs before a relieved Alistair Bryers got them home.
Statistically, 18 wickets fell for an all-time low Premier League aggregate 99 runs, the match taking 48 overs to complete.
