Match Report V Stonesfield II – 23/05/2009

Having turned up at Wantage with this time a very enthusiastic 11, things were already looking much better for club Wantage & Grove. The 2nd positive as we would find out throughout the day was the gathering crowd, and when I mean crowd I mean CROWDS. Most of Zimbabwe had turned out, bringing there much loved supporting prowess and Mexican skills..!! Wave, now that's a wave..!! Anyway, I divulge, back to the cricket. I lost the toss, no problems, we are very ambiguous as a team, giving both batting and bowling a go.…continue reading →

Lions Club – Home – Wednesday

We came in to play the second game of the Wednesday season with high hopes, having never had lost a game, and also having completely annihilated Metal Box in the game two weeks prior. As the home team we were set the mighty task of bowling against The Lion’s Club. Bully opened with a respectable over from the field end, letting only 10 runs go, but unfortunately breaking the usual first over wicket success he has previously had! Poor Stew!! However, the elder zimbo of the side, Barry, steamed in for his first…continue reading →

Garsington II – Away – League

Having turned up at Garsington with a very enthusiastic 9, (doesn’t bowed well when one player gets stuck in London and the other loses his car keys so cant get to the ground) we thought what else could go wrong..?! Well, I hear you ask, that ‘WORST’ happened... we decided that only having 9 wasn’t enough of a start for them, a batting collapse was more fun. I myself was most guilty contributing a well played 0. Only Barry “lion king, Simba, oh crap look at the Lion at Chessington Zoo with no…continue reading →

Metal Box – Away – Downs League

I was very excited about this first game of the season, not least because it was my first game as captain. Thankfully it was an away game, made even better by the fact it was at home. As the away team we batted first. POD and Pippy went out to face off the new bowlers. The first few overs went well, with the run rate going to 10 straight away. Both POD and Pippy were seeing it well when Pippy was out to a freak run out where Pod played down the ground…continue reading →

Team Lucky Mascot.

So, as I've played six games out of eight this season and the only time we've won is when I'm playing, I declare myself the lucky mascot. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that I'm doing all the hard work. I'm just the player to select, I guess. I'm available next Wednesday, Moobs.continue reading →

Chipping Norton – Home – Steve Dixon Cup

Feeling guiltily lazy after Steve managed to get 2 match reports written in the time it has taken me to write this one. In my defence, I’m umm lazy! Saturday’s game at home vs Chipping Norton was the first round of the Steve Dixon Cup, those who followed the Saturday side last year will remember them beating us with ease twice before going on to win the league. Starting with 10, who would have thought fielding first was a good idea, well me! I won the toss and put them into bat. A…continue reading →

10th May 2009, East & West Hendred, Away – Win

Okay, I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible, but it was an eventful and thoroughly enjoyable afternoon at Hendred. We managed to squeeze in two matches as the first one was over quite quickly. Match 1 We chose to field first and took out first wicket first ball of the match. Angel lobbed down a rare poor full toss that Hendred’s opening bat, Adie Francis spooned back for Circus to catch at mid off. This was the start of a collapse that left Hendred scoring only 85 in their innings which…continue reading →
