Instead it was cool and windy -and more than 12 inches of rain had fallen in the previous week. The Queensland team had alreadycalled it quits so the NSW and Vic teams decided we needed to do something. Earnest discussion tookplace with the Caloundra groundsman who spent time on Saturday and early Sunday morningpreparing what had been a very damp track.We got started late after Tom Hickie won the toss and put CC of NSW in. They made a slow start andthrough good bowling their run rate was kept down to a total of 5/165 off 40 overs. This seemed likea very gettable target on a quite difficult track.Unfortunately we started very badly, 4wickets for 18 until Ron Shugg (29) joinedGraham Butler (13) (cousin of Max Butler)and the start of a small revival. However,when this partnership ended it became asorry progression and the team was all outfor 91 off 36 overs.Two very good nights at the “SomethingBlue” and the “Thai Restaurant” whereplayers and supporters from both teams,along with a few from Queensland,enjoyed one another’s company. Lots oftalk about past glories and washed downwith copious amounts of good food anddrink…..Parties went on into the small hours.27
