Back to list

Tuesday, 12th December 2006


The PAOCFC Red Juggernaut's amazing inaugural 20/20 win over the PAOCCC Invitational XI yesterday at Park 15 is sure to bring the crowds in numbers for this week's Twenty 20's at Park 9.


PAOCCC 9 for 160 (Richardson 85, Phillips 20, Heitmann 5/18 including a hat-trick) lost to PAOCFC 8 for 161 (Boucaut 52, Jackman 45, Spencer 30, Sundries 30, Roberts 2/18, Siciliano 2/18, Larkins 2/25)

Heito about his hat-trick

First one in the shortened short version of the game. It was however very similar to my last hat-trick in 2-day cricket ... certainly the third wicket ... lbw ... a big in-swinging yorker ... certainly hit in line ... but was going to miss leg stump ... it was the most impressive appeal I have ever made let alone the support from the rest of the team ... our umpire Simon Butler certainly lived up to the name I gave him, "Noel Keen" ... and like the umpire of my last hat-trick ... he also got "taken away with the moment" and raised the finger ... I'm lead to believe the celebrations were phenomenal ... but I wouldn't know as I was on my knees with 10 blokes on top of me ... couldn't see a thing!
