THE BACKLASH!

Mallorca Cricket Club's Sunday XI were unfortunately to feel the "backlash" of the Saturday team's victory over Chorleywood CC's. After a bright start where MCC held the opposition to less than 30 runs in 10 overs the floodgates opened and Chorleywood posted a monstrous score of 287 for 3 off 40 overs. Rice and Malinowski made 100s and then retired and Hinds belted a swift 50. In reply the shell-shocked MCC Sunday XI tried to make a game of it but were bundled out for less than a hundred. However, once again Sascha Goonerseraka showed what a good player he is becoming with a sturdy 31 runs to his name. Hey, someone should tell our "touring" sides that Sunday fixtures are strictly "social". Fat chance when they have been beaten by the MCC 1st Team on the Saturday!
