Final away day to
Glangrwney
With the Green man a mile up the road 10 men and a bird in blue and white arrived in the small village to be confronted with the cast of Last of the summer wine.
The hosts opted to bat with Kelly and Rob opening the bowling in their usual miserly fashion keeping things tight early on, Later the hosts big hitting all rounder fell to a caught and bowled by the ice kid Parsons who was on first change along with 5 poppadums Peter who only went for 20 in his 8 overs. The second drinks break brought utter fury to Carl Hughes the grumpiest of scorers pointing to his watch and ranting about the over rate like Boycott on steroids.
Between decisons of out not out and dead ball and sledging their own umpires.
Plus the umpire standing behind the non striking batter at Harvey’s end and not mention the sight screens being moved for the yes no guy from the vicar of Dibley the innings ran over by 6 minutes.
With the game being played in test fashion Harvey managed final figures 2-4 off his 5 overs.
And with the fielding of Angelo and Judah on top form runs were kept to a minimum 119-7 off 40.
Mel and Ben opened the batting the Skuse dropping to the seconds due to his inability to move although we thought was normal behaviour and he fitted in well with the seconds.
Mel taken out by a slinging jaffer of a ball for 4 the crazy Italian soon followed and the Skuse was left to fight the good fight, with the cast of last of summer wine bowling in tandem Kye and young Boony were back in the shed and looking for Howard and Marina to pop up from behind a wall.
whilst the young Harvey went out to do battle The the last ball before drinks saw Benjamin fall on his sword and was out bowled Compo stumped by Foggy.
Enter the Captain struggling to walk to middle on the back of last week’s nonsense and the allegations of dropped catches in the first innings.
52 was required from 25 the instruction to Harvey was clear we got all day and running between the wickets isn’t a necessity , with 13 more runs added Marve was on his way bowled by the young bowler Eve Jones the youngest and most threatening of the opposition. Enter the veteran Kelly “run 3” Chilton.
It was noted the call for 3 came off her own shot and the captains reply trundling back for the third was for post watershed readers only.
39 runs later the undefeated partnership Hibbs 22/Chilton 17-and a masterclass in test cricket saw the the seconds home for the 7th victory of the campaign with one to play against league leaders Cardiff.
All make sure you have a good scrub as we will have our team photo.
