Cambridge University Cricket Club

Run Feast on Day 1 at Fenner's

Wednesday 30 June 2010

The MCC enjoyed the first of their three days at Fenner's, piling up 380 for the loss of just 4 wickets before declaring shortly after tea. However the Blues found batting similarly easy, progressing to 70-0 at the close. It appears some creative captaincy will be required to force a result.

The performance of the day came from ex-Cambridge MCCU player Eddie Ballard, who amassed a career-best 190 in what was a dominant batting display from the Visitors.
