Those jolly nice chaps from White Horse Brewery, arrived with beer in't boot, and the forecast rain stayed away long enough for us to repay their generosity, with a good thrashing. I think I wouldn't choose to field first if there's beer on tap in the pavilion, but then I also wouldn't choose to park my pick up truck at long leg either. Anyway, the driver will be showing everyone his souvenir scar from the landlord for a while to come. The Bomber hit form with the bat, and retired on 29, and other highlights included Captain Marvelous with a cameo innings, and Sam's cracking 4 off his first ball. Talking of balls, what was that loud hollow sound emanating from Tompe's box ? Rob's duck halved his average, which is only fair- in fact it's more than fair. Judas Fletcher caught Matt-thanks pal, but127 still looked enough.
Matt opened up with a fierce first over, taking 2 wickets, including Andy with the first ball of their innings. Ollie "Harmo" Squires kept them on their toes with a variety of wides no balls & wickets, and although a few catches went down, we were always in control. Johnny, who has just finished reading Michael Vaughan's new book, tweaked the field after every ball, so it was nearly midnight when we wrapped it up. Anyway, like Vaughany, he's also patched things up with the scruffy, pedalo loving, lager lout, of the team, and Fuz has now finally paid his subs. How did we manage without his awesome contribution?
Man of the match= The Bomber

I dont know why you seem so surprised at the hollow sound that you heard when I got hit, what did you expect?
We resent that comment, it might have sounded hollow from outside but it was pretty loud on the inside, honest!!
Sorry, didn't catch that?
Dont start having a pop at us!
Drop him !
Or has he already dropped himself ?
On second thoughts keep him- he's good for a few jugs.
Don't have a go at the hands. They were just protecting me. And they handed over the money for the jugs!!
