The run chase for the Celebrity Eleven began well with most of the early batsmen scoring or getting close to the 30 runs per batsman maximum allowed under the special rules for the day. It appeared that the Celebrity Eleven were coasting towards a win and getting their hands on the much coveted and now mounted “Golden Thong” trophy.

There were calls for a super over to break the deadlock but in the end it was decided that a draw was very much a fitting end to a good game of cricket. The proceeds of the day will go to the pyjama foundation which assists in helping less fortunate kids to read.
Selection of an appropriate Man of the match was unanimous, with the Celebrity Eleven’s Mick Glover starring with the bat ball and in the field.
