orphan.

[S Mahmood] Great performance by
everyone! Batting, bowling, fielding!
[P Barrass]
Proper team effort, including opposition extras,
with a sound 39.
[S Hamilton] Well played team!
Not happy with the photographer.
[M Mahmood]
Good stuff today lads!
[T Castle] Covid stole
this evening from me.
[S Hamilton to Mohsin]
Superb catch!
[M Mahmood] Thanks Steve! Good
bowling as well honestly.
[T Castle] Did Ziggy
have a runner for his 53? Impressive, if so.
[A Khan]
Gents really enjoyed a great game of cricket. Well done to all of
you, great team spirit
[A Khan to Tim] Hope you
get well soon.
[S Mahmood to Philip] Good
captaining!
[S Hamilton regarding team photograph]
What I meant was if Tim was taking the photo, he would've captured
my good side. I look slightly disorientated.
[S Hamilton
re. Ziggy] No runner!
[J Stebbins]
Congratulations team.
[Z Gilani] Great win, lads!
Enjoyable game with enjoyable people.
[M Mahmood]
I spoke to some of the lads after the game but just thought I'd put
it out there for everyone that I've got some cricket stuff for sale
...
[S Hamilton re.
photo of Mohsin] There's
that man Mo taking the invisible ball catch to get the vital
breakthrough and the opening wicket to lead us to victory!
[J Wolff] Poetry in motion.
[S Hamilton
re.
photo of Afghan batting] Masterclass innings from
Afghan.
[A Khan] Thank you.
[P Barrass
re.
photo of Afghan batting] And the crowd go wild.
[S Mahmood re.
photo of Ollie keeping and taking ball in
front of wicket] This was the moment of the game.
Ollie was eager.
[S Hamilton] Took quick! Batsman
didn't have a chance to touch the ball. New one for me, doesn't the
ball have to past the wicket before you attempt to take the ball.
Must a been a slow bowler for that delivery?
[H Jamshaid]
The keeper collecting the ball ahead of the
stumps is a no ball. Or a dead ball.
[S Mahmood]
Afghan was bowling. Yeah, it was a no ball.
[S Hamilton]
I thought Afghan was bowling from the other end. No worries. So it
was no ball because the of the keeper taking the ball early?
[T Castle] A game full of incident!
[P
Barrass] And records. 172-0, for example. The captain's
100% winning streak...
[S Hamilton] Ollie you
must know who bowled that ball?
[S Mahmood]
Can't believe we didn't lose a wicket though! Thats a stat of its
own. Highest score we’ve made this year without falling. It was defo
Afghan cos i was at mid off when it happened. Buttttt i could be
wrong too.
[M Mahmood] Nahh I think you're right
because it was in the last over and Afghan bowled the last one.
[O Gold] Yeah was Afghan. That’s awful keeping,
didn’t realise I took it that far ahead…
[S Hamilton]
No worries. All good! I don't argue, I discuss things in a civil
manner. Still 3 games to go. We can win them all!
[M
Mahmood] Ollie, your keeping was fantastic mate honestly.
Part of what won us that game kept the extras nice and low.
[S Mahmood] Definitely! Its a hard job as well.
[Z Gilani] Ollie, you kept really well. A real
sense of urgency to minimise runs.
