Match abandoned due to rain.
Milton struggle to set a competitive total in dreadful conditions, only for it to be all in vain as the wet weather sets in.
Milton lost the toss again (even with Phil nominated as chief tosser), on an overcast day in Waterbeach. Waterbeach had stuggled to get a team together and were probably surprised to reduce Milton to 25 for 4 early on. However, a partnership of 85 between Nick Seaman and John Amphlett took Milton to 110 off 27 overs. The weather then closed in and conditions became more difficult. Milton stuggled after the partnership was broken and eventually could only manage to set a total of 138.
In worsening conditions, Waterbeach opened their innings very cautiously. Some good bowling from Nick Seaman and Ryan Carey restricted Waterbeach to 16 off the opening 11 overs. At this point the rain became to hard, the wind too biting, the pitch too wet and the call of the social club to great to continue on. The players walked off and shortly afterwards the match was abandoned.
