Quidnuncs Match Reports

Quidnuncs v Harlequins May 9th 2010

In these times of current social and political uncertainty, it was refreshing to see a display of absolute dominance as the Quidnuncs lined up against the Harlequins at Arundel. Whilst the Quidnunc effort did not quite hit the lows of the BNP in this recent election (they did actually take some wickets and score a few runs), the performance was a poor one. Chasing 229 for victory on a typically good Arundel wicket, the coming and going of Quidnunc batsmen certainly did not resemble the situation outside many a polling station at 21:50h on May 6th, in that the flow of personnel was frequent and regular. Harlequins’ Amit Suman, Paul McMahon and James McAdam all took 3 wickets as the ‘Nuncs were skittled for 70.

Earlier, the Harlequins were twice pegged back by the accurate and at times hostile swing bowling of Matt Friedlander (Guest – 5-56); initially finding themselves at 40-5 and again at 168-8 – Neil Millar (73) and Paul McMahon (28) putting on 84 for the 5th wicket. A late onslaught of 53* by Amit Suman took the Harlequins score to their respectable total.

Overall, The Harlequin’s performance was a thorough and savage one – resembling something of the competition between the invading ladybird beetle of the same name and its British relatives.
