t’s a windy day at Cranleigh and captain Baines has been bowling short all game. Following
an impressive batting display, the Win Coll bowling attack has fallen to pieces and Cranleigh,
chasing a huge total, are slowly creeping towards victory with a run rate of over seven an
over. Having scored 22 in the penultimate over, the final over arrives with their in-form batsman
needing only three runs from it. All-rounder Edmund Bourne steps up, perspiration dripping
from his forehead, and begins to bowl. Dot. One. Dot. Dot. One. Dot. Cometh the hour,
cometh the man, and the game is tied.
