October 1997

Cricket World XI in Spain

Thanks to a long delay on the Piccadilly Line several of the party missed the flight from Heathrow and departed the next day. CW XI lost both games at the Colombus Oval Albir but with some reinforcements from Sporting Alfas defeated Javea on Monday, a match in which Kelvin Sutherland hit a fine century. CW XI was seriously short of any seam bowling.
