Batsmen undo bowlers' art
 |
| The winners: The Village pleased to be there |
Highpoints from our opening game were few, writes David
Sultanti.
Greg Clifford's not out 37, Maria's (manageress of the park cafe)
tea and four wickets for Tim Castle, achieved in curious fashion.
After three overs and having taken two wickets, he hobbled over
and said "Err, David, groin injury, better stop now".
I said "OK" and pointed him to deepish very backward square leg.
Twenty-five minutes after, Tim's wife and son arrived. Ten
minutes after that Tim trotted over and stoically stated that he was
ready to bowl again.
His second spell (3 overs) resulted in two more wickets. [And
wife and son missed both ... TC]
This year, i'm not going to save for an end of term barbecue, but
instead, invest the dosh in life size cut-outs of players
girlsfriends/wifes/boyfriend and place them standing beyond the
boundary, for all our remaining games.
This might prevent a re-occurrence of our opening shocker, scored
94 runs, lost by 93.
