Rnd 5 v BLU
It’s bloody Friday already, and this Duck apologises for the tardiness. Anyway, we welcomed the Bamwam Gumbooters to the Duck Pond for an early start, 11am to be precise, and in true Colby Duck fashion, we had the remaining 6 players turn up at 10:55am, compared to our counterparts all but camping the night before they were there that early.
Captain Wh**ey turned up looking like a lost and sorry puppy after his 21st beers the night before, but still opened the batting and clobbered 30, after being sent into bat, which proved costly….
The two Ryan boys who are both Jude’s brothers, being Chuck Norris Ryan and Zombie Sam, got the runs flowing early, 2 for a heap at drinks, and then the Zombie went first ball after drinks. Hammertime Hooppell the big dumb idiot went out for a Golden Quacker after trying to hit a ball that landed on the next pitch over, but from here, it was all King Charles from here. He was playing on a different wicket against a different ball for some reason.
He whacked his way to a very classy and special 105, his first ton, and a very rare ton for the Colby Ducks. This now proves he can bat, but cannot and will not bowl, ever, ever, again.
The tail wagged after Jacko Nihill had 25 swings and collected 3 of them, and even 9,10, and 11 got a few runs, bringing the score up to a whopping 227.
After some extremely hot party pies at arvo smoko, the damage with the ball was being done fast, with Scoog and Morgs teaming up once again for some “caught Marsh, bowled Lillee” sort of stuff, and the wickets kept falling from here. Hammer decided to bowl himself out after contributing nothing with the bat, and close to nothing else in general. Highlight of the fielding display was 2 sitters put down by Captain Wh**ey at 2nd slip after mouthing off at everyone else’s fielding efforts, only to take a proper blinder in one mitt, still at 2nd slip. He’ll tell you how good it was. Just ask him.
All out for 70 odd were BLU in a mammoth run chase, with Scoog being chief destroyer with the ball.
King Charles Cavalier was obviously the stand out performer for the day, so for those of you who aren’t aware of who he is, have a visual.
Onto Stanhope at Stanhope next week (tomorrow) for some more carry-on and bulls**t. Catchya
Ps….
Can those flogs stop breaking into our bar, cheers.
