Twenty - Weston Creek Cricket Club

Weston Creek, CricketClublong winter months. When Abrahams scored runs, we werepleased. When his name was not in the lists, we guessed heprobably didn't bat, or the printer had been guilty of anomission.When John first came to Weston Creek he found a club thatwas growing in strength. He leaves it stronger and moresuccessful than ever, as two Club Championships in a rowtestify.A grateful club will remember him with affection, and thehope that he will have many more good days in the sun, onand off the field. •Reprinted from "Cover Point", Volume 9 No I, October 1986.JOHN CARR DOES IT AGAINby John RingwoodFew of the oldtimers at Stirling Oval could remember aninnings to compare with John Carr's 173 not out againstANU Cricket Club.Even President Don Brooker couldn't suppress a smile inacknowledging the strength and power of John's innings."Not bad for a bloke who doesn't hold the bat properly", Donsaid.Many have joked at John's unorthodox stance at the wicket,but the opposition bowlers had little to laugh about as hepowered his way .to a. hundred in about 140 minutes andadded the rest in little more than an hour. Few doubt that hewould have made it 200 had the game gone on to the finishbecause there were still a dozen overs left of the 20 requiredto be bowled in the last hour.116
