da pinnacle： Wisden Cricinfo staff18-Jun-2004In the latest round of the County Championship, rain had the final say in the majority of matches, although Derbyshire couldn’t quite avoid an emphatic ten-wicket defeat at the hands of Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. The match was a closer-run affair than the result suggests, however, thanks to an heroic unbeaten 129 from Hassan Adnan. His effort, along with an astonishing 36-ball half-century from No. 11, Mohammad Ali, ensured that the innings defeat was avoided, but they couldn’t quite hold on for the draw. Gloucestershire, on the other hand, did just that. Their last pair of Jonathan Lewis and Shabbir Ahmed added 22 to frustrate Surrey at The Oval, as they secured a slender lead to avert an innings defeat. Elsewhere, rain wrecked the matches at Lord’s, Stratford-upon-Avon and Headingley.
