Moreton batted first with Wicksy returning from Africa to open the batting with Tim, and both prospered with unbeaten knocks of 25 & 27 respectively. A slowing of the run rate followed, but with the duathalete next in, anything was possible..............................................but sadly, a touch of housewife's knee meant it was not to be today.
one of the above is an international duathalete with housewife's knee- can you spot who it is ?
This put pressure back on the later batsmen, with Thompy & Sammy responding to the challenge to push us past 100. 108 did not feel enough, but we started positively enough with skipper Jonny on fire, picking up 4 wickets. With Blewbury reeling on 16 for 6, we needed to go in for the kill, but we were aware that their stars were still to bat. Wicksy has recovered from Malaria and a whole host of other tropical diseases, but the grizzle shoulder is still persisting, preventing him from bowling. Davey T , Dave T, Josh, Simon, Thompy and Smithy all stepped up to the mark, with varying degrees of success, but the game was actually lost when 2 key catches were shelled- hard chances both, so I won't be naming them, but Sammy & Wicksy know who they are. The Barrett barrage of Bear Lane luckily didn't cost the club a small fortune, as he narrowly missed a window and a car, but Blewbury ultimately coasted in, thanks to their comfort blankets.
Final mention to Mark & David who performed admirably on debut, and certainly did not look out of place- well done Bomber for making them look so good !
Next week the footballers aka Blewbury will be here. Watch out for a couple of turncoats...............
