Due to no-one bothering to copy the scorebook
after the conclusion of this game, very little was remembered, other than it
was ‘that game where Howie smacked a few and busted a greenhouse window….’ Fast forward nearly 4 years later, and through
sheer fortune and utter coincidence, a random kit bag at a workplace on
Milton Park threw up a most wonderful find. In it, was a dusty scorebook
dating back to 1999 – the lost property of a certain Marcham Cricket Club.
And in this rather decrepit, dog eared little red book, were the scorecards
chronicling that lost Marcham game
played by the Jude all those years ago! How very strange, and how very
wonderful – especially if you are one Howard Jones.
During this unremarkable defeat at the hands of
Marcham CC on the 22nd July, the Jude The Obscure were indebted in no small
part to the amazing contribution to their team total from one Mr. H. Jones.
Whilst the Jude registered a not so clever 109 off 31.5 overs, he was
single-handedly holding up the opposition by blazing his way to 78 not out.
In fact, if you take away the extras (18) from the team total, Howie
accounted for 85.7142857% of the runs scored from the blades of Jude batsmen
that day. Quite staggering – and even more staggering that no-one bothered to
record the feat in ink in the club’s scorebook…. The only other memories of that encounter consist
of: one of Howie’s sixes disappearing through said greenhouse window, another
of his sixes leading to players demolishing a garden fence trying to retrieve
it, and the match being the last anyone ever saw of one Paul Drake – despite
him returning the excellent figures of 6-0-17-3 with a chronic case of the
flu. ‘Marcham CC Scorebook’
