Royal College v St. Thomas' 1885
The Home of CricketArchive
This is a classic match known in SL from the well known Battle of the Blues. A 2 day game back then
RC were all out for 9 in the first innings
STC scored 170/6
Then according to legend, RC never turned up on the 2nd day. To this day the two schools dispute the result of this game. This year they played their 138th unbroken game (it turned into a 3-day game after the 100th game).
STC claim RC did not turn up and abandoned the game so they claim it in their tally as a win
RC says the game was abandoned due to heavy overnight rain and they could it as a draw.
Fun stuff..
