At about 5.15pm yours truly attempted square cut at a ball which would reach the bat for about another 20 minutes ended up spooning a catch to point, all out for 47, I also it the last boundary of our season a Lara esque cover drive.
There was a bit of Symentry to this game, the first game of last season we had a minutes silence for the Duke of Edinburgh and the last match of this season we did the same for his wife.
Lost the toss and bowled on a wicket which at one end looked like someone had gone besrserk with weed killer, odd lift and occasional grubbers. Early wicket for Dave Lever, a steady partnership betwen McCutcheon and Ahmed, until McCutcheon was out, then Ahmed was caught, one ball before he was almost in Blackpool when stumped and was given not out, understandibly there was a bit of verbals, Ahmed gave it a bit of chat to out stumper who reacted as a man of 77 should do by suggesting a bat should be wrapped around his head. He was out next ball, dolly catch but kept shouting Take it when the ball was in the air, needless to say this went down like a lead balloon.
Managed to get my traditional wicket with a pie and the lad I got out I think is the brother of Nigel Jemson of PNE and Forest fame.
We were in the game until Abdul Patel slogged everything into the middle of next week. 174 was a tall order althou he got 0 wickets Danny Carter bowled quite well for teh self appointed Number 1 spinner in the club.
Dave Lever 4 the Skipper took two, James Rawcliffe took two and went ahead of me with 14 wickets to my 13.
Would we get this total, nope steady prpcession from Pavillion to crease and back, only Carter withh 11 scored double figures. Milner, Saul and Ashworth took three wickets.
None of the Flintoff mob played and it can actually be said that apart from a couple of them they were a bunch of miserable sods
As for this season
That's all folks
