Brigands v Australia High Commission, 11 August 2024
Updated: Aug 14, 2024
The Paris 2024 Olympics closed with Australia's highest-ever medal tally led by the Nation's women.
And it was Alice Chambers who stole the show for the Aussies on their annual visit to the cradle of cricket, taking 5 wickets for 36 in a devastating spell. It was even more remarkable as the 5 wickets fell in just 9 balls and included a Mo Ali duck.

Harry Collier (68) and Ewan Lovett-Turner (23) had both batted beautifully until the collapse, which saw Brigands slump from 116-1 to 124-7.
Guy Ladenburg (31) helped Brigands get to 176 all out. A feature of the innings was 8 catches; the visitors were exemplary in the field.
In reply, "Aussie House" were stunned by an opening spell from Mo Ali, still upset at getting out earlier in the day, which saw him bag 3 wickets (all bowled) for 1 run in 3 overs.

Neil Wood picked up a caught and bowled. Collins got going with the bat, but when he was superbly caught by Lovett-Turner at slip the momentum was lost. Brigands were beginning to out-field Australia House and Lovett-Turner took two more sharp catches at slip, one off Richie Hay and one off Guy Ladenburg.
Australia High Commission finished 113 all out, and 63 runs short.
There were Gold Medals for Batter (Harry Collier), Bowler (Mo Ali), All-Rounder (Guy Ladenburg), Fielder (Ewan Lovett-Turner), Match Manager (Ed Hands)m Groundsperson (Pete Tomkins), and Umpire (Bryan Burns). And then off to The Bat & Ball to celebrate a Brigands performance that was Swifter, Higher, Stronger, and Together.
