Match Report (Ian Callender)

FOR THE SECOND game of the series the Irish team showed one change from the side that defeated Wales on the opening day. Peter Gillespie came in for Jason Molins. Morning rain meant that the match did not start until after the scheduled luncheon interval and the game was rescheduled to a 42-over match. Further heavy rain caused an abandonment shortly after 4.00 p.m. and for the first time in the competition two teams faced each other to determine the result of the match by a bowl-out, introduced this year instead of the run-rate formula which was used on the two previous occasions at the end of the competition to separate those teams that had finished level on points.

Before the actual cricket was abandoned, Scotland had been put in to bat by Lewis and had reached 77 off 25.1 overs for the loss of their openers. The inital breakthrough came in the 15th over when Patterson tried to hit Graham over the top and was taken by Harrison running from mid-on. Five overs later Ogilby, with a sharp stumping off Doak, made up for an earlier miss off Patterson when the score was 15. Alan Lewis won another toss - for the bowlout - and decided to bowl first. With five players to bowl two balls each at an unguarded wicket the 4-2 reverse meant that Ireland could not win the Competition even if they defeated England Amateur in the third game.

In the other game at Downpatrick no play was possible until 2.30pm and when play did start England Amateurs restricted Wales to 129 for eight after their forty overs but the downpour between innings prevented further play.
