Hyatt Jr stands tall as rain halts St Jago’s charge

St Jago High face a monumental task to overhaul STETHS’ mammoth first-innings total after rain washed out most of day two in the ISSA/First Global Bank/GK Insurance Spaulding Cup clash at Melbourne Oval yesterday. Resuming on 438 for six, STETHS were eventually bowled out for 487 in 92.4 overs, but the weather gods then intervened, allowing only 35 overs of St Jago’s reply before persistent showers forced an early close. St Jago reached 117 for 2 when play was abandoned for the day, still trailing by a massive 370 runs.
