The Spirit of the Game

    Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsbility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains.

    Cracking game of cricket, an opening stand of 89 by Tiann Theron (80)
    and Adam Parkins (44) set the side up for a bigger total than was finally
    achieved. In reply two early wickets gave the HECL side the advantage
    whilst, quaility knocks from Ardleigh Green's Rob Smith (45) and Ollie
    Wagstaff (66) kept the visitors in the game and with 1 wicket remaining
    they needed just 5 runs from the 45th over. Jason Green with 4-30,
