When I first started playing grade cricket for my old club Northern Suburbs, back in Canberra, during the seventies, this infamous match from March 4, 1967, was mentioned quite a lot.
Northern Suburbs were vying for a place in the semi-finals and in the last game of the regular season they had to beat Kingston, outright, over the four innings to squeeze the Australian National University (ANU) out of the top four.
Kingston was all out for 150 runs in reply to Norths first innings of 194 and batting for a second time, Norths declared at 5 for 59, leaving Kingston 71 minutes to score 104 runs for outright victory.
