The newly mown Plisko Polje pitch welcomes the Sir Oliver Cricket Club for the first home match of the 2009 Hrvatksi Kriket Kup.
However, a thrilling counterattack from Antonio Lipanovic, Branko Heywood and centurion Craig Wear sees no fewer than nine balls lost in the tall grass behind long on. The delays looking for the balls mean the Split team has to rush to catch their ferry back to the mainland with Vis having posted 251-7 off 37 overs.
After a quick google check, Sinisa Vodopija later confirms that according to the Duckworth/Lewis calculator, this extraordinary comeback means Vis have won by the margin of just 6 runs. Remember Nelson!
