Ash Cruickshank reporting The Peter Guthrie's promises of early wickets seemed more than just talk from a bloke still smarting from All-Blacks humiliation earlier that morning as he took a 2nd ball wicket and three more in quick succession to give the This wicket saw the complexion of the game change faster that a kid reaching puberty as Burt (1 for 39), the Colonel (2 for 36) and Guthrie (6 for 62) continued to capture wickets and keep the pressure on Aldenham. The run rate slowed to a miserly rate for the next 15 over's as the Wash turned the screws but in the end, 146 simply wasn't enough to defend as Aldenham once again triumphed with a 1 wicket win. A disappointing day on many counts but particularly for this commentator as it was a glowing testament to that ridiculous form of the game known as declaration cricket. Man of the match - Peter Guthrie who produce a multi-wicket haul for the second week running Packing the kit - Whoever that fool umpire was who fired Brian White and thus caused the batting collapse
