Streatham Cricket Club's frustration at another Saturday washout was compounded by the fact they were due to face Eve Surrey Division Two bottom of the table side Brook.

Captain Andy Murphy explained: "As I've been so unlucky with the coin, we had a team meeting about what to call, and we got it right for only the third time in 11 matches. If the game had gone the duration we would have picked up the 13 points."

Brook's innings started in light drizzle and with Chris Wells hitting the stumps in the second over, the home side were in difficulties. But conditions did not improve and play was abandoned with the home side on 112 for 2.

This Saturday, mid-table Streatham entertain third-placed Worcester Park at Old Hollingtonians' Ground, Burbage Road, Dulwich.
