ON THIS DAY - 11th November
Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 11, 2023
In 1961, D LANG (#138) and PETER MORSE (#19) added 167 for the 4th wicket for A grade v University. Chasing University's 215, Waratahs lost three early wickets before Lang and Morse took over. Lang was out for 102, just after the target was reached but Morse batted on until he misjudged the length of a Hussey deliver and skied it to the bowler and was out for 92. Morse went onto the Best Match Performance list, with his runs added to the four dismissals he took as wicketkeeper the previous week.

In 1989, a STEVE READING (#322) special saw Waratahs record the biggest winning margin in their 3rd grade history, an Innings and 116 runs. After Ian Campbell's 63 not out at seven bolstered Waratahs total to 226, Klink took 5-31, bowling unchanged to rout Uralla for just 66. Batting a second time, Uralla fared worse, all out for 40 with the Colonel taking 6-9 and continuing to not trust fieldsmen. His "you miss I hit" strategy netted him 11-40 in the one afternoon, ten of them bowled and the remaining wicket lbw! The interesting thing is, he wanted to leave after Uralla's first innings, believing bowling again was a waste of time and effort and had the huff when they returned to the field. Uralla's two innings and twenty wicket fell in less than 43 overs.
