2006/07 Annual Report - Melbourne Cricket Club

The MCC Reds missed the finals as well however they played in one of the most exciting games of the Cuptournament.As reported in the local newspaper, the Bangkok Post, “The match of the series was also one of the lowest scoring,featuring a clash between Thai Thevandra and MCC Red. The match started in sensational style when Thevandrabowler Jackson took a hat-trick in the opening over, which had MCC Red reeling at 3/3 after the first over.Jackson also achieved a hat-trick in this tournament a couple of years previously. More tight bowling byThevandra saw MCC struggle to 5/45. With Peter Goodchap and former Australian Test star Colin “Funky”Miller going well, the Thai side appeared to be coasting along. Then in an amazing fourth over by Australian starbowler Mick Lewis, Thevandra lost three wickets all caught behind by wicketkeeper Ron Shugg, one handed,diving down the off side, the third catch being a particularly brilliant effort low down to his right. However theThai side hung in there to grab victory.”MCC REDS Results.Game 1. MCC Red 3/44 (Rahul 1/7) lost toCommonwealth CC (Rahul 19)Game 2. MCC Red 4/27 lost toKCC Woodbines 1/80Game 3.
