Notable events
58 players turned out for the Mandarins
(2019,53) of whom 26 appeared just once. Mandarins took 86 catches and 8
stumpings. Baxter had most victims, 8+1, at least three of which were
sensational. Worst collapses were 6-9 vs
North Enfield, 5-10 vs Hornsey, 5-10 vs Taplow, 5-11 vs Millfields, 5-12 vs
Heber. Against Abinger we fielded possibly the most experienced team ever, with
an estimated 2,726 caps between them. By only modest contrivance on tour we
managed a father and daughter (Hurst) batting against the bowling of a father
and daughter (Porter). Vs Norfolk and Suffolk over 70s we recorded the largest
age margin of 64 years between our youngest (Josie Eastaway) and oldest (David
Lowen) players, and the largest margin for an opening partnership, 59 years
between David and Harry Forman.
