Match notes (1) Big hitter André Wagener is stepping up the pace. After hitting 148 against Eagles in his previous game two weeks ago,he scored another big hundred, passing Khurram Syed's record of 157 (only 3 weeks old) on his way. Inevitable, he also broke the record of most runs scored in boundaries in an innings (150), and most sixes in an innings (17). For good measure, he also hit four successive sixes of Mazhar Hussain's bowling, scoring the most runs of a single over.

(first run scored by Martin Gregson) (2) Unequal partners As partners came and went in quick succession, only one record with partnership was broken, for the 8th wicket. With big-hitting André on one side, Martin Gregson was happy to contribute a slender 10 runs to the century stand.

Bowling numbers of 4-1-15-4 are good, but if you take out the first two legal deliveries (going for 3 wides and a four), it reads 4 for 8 runs in 22 balls. . Y2 Y1 4 1 W 1 1 | . . .

(5) Scoring big - and still loosing Records galore, but still it was not enough to win the game. The score of 275 was by far the highest total Arcadians failed to defend - "improving" (sic!) on last year's game ... also against GCC. Highest team total to loose (batting first): 275 for 8 – Arcadians v GCC (Mariakerke) 2007 193 all out – Arcadians v GCC (Mariakerke) 2006
