Scorecard

YMPC (Barbados) v Belhus Cricket Club Senior Tour on Thu 18 Nov 1976 at 1pm
Belhus Cricket Club Lost by 127 Runs

Match report YMPC 235-4
Belhus Tour XI 108

We arrived at the ground of YMPC (Young Men's Progressive Cricket) to be advised that Joel Garner (West Indies & Somerset) and Roland Butcher (England & Middlesex) would be playing for YMPC.

Opener Luther Wilsher scored a century before retiring and Roland Butcher stroked a fine half-century as YMPC posted a very respectable 235 off their allotted 35 overs. Tony Pope was our lead wicket-taker with 3 for 56.

In our run-chase after tea, against other first-class players Bill Bourne (Barbados & Warwickshire) and Hartley Alleyne (Barbados & Gloucestershire) only Chris Cox (40) had any idea with the bat and we were bowled out for a lowly 108 to lose by 127 runs.

We were simply outplayed by such strong opposition.
