Harish slams double ton
An entire Cambridge Cricket Club put together couldn’t overhaul BS Harish Kumar’s individual total in the KSCA Group I, Division V tournament for the JB mallaradhya Trophy.
Ironically named, the Bowlers’ Cricket Club put the Cambridge attack to sword to amass 452/7 in 50 overs with Harish alone scoring a staggering 233 of them.
Chasing an improbable target, Cambridge managed Harish’s score -- 233 -- before being bundled out in 42.1 overs, crashing to a 219-run defeat.
