Egypt versus Rest of the World

2008-08-09 & 10, Roehampton

Egypt battled back from being 4-8 down at the end of the first day to draw level at 10-10. The weather was quite poor at times but this did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the spectators or lessen the tension in both teams. Reg Bamford prevailed in the final deciding leg of the match, beating Ahmed Nasr in two straight games.
