After a successful last hit out at Walkworth, the FP's looked to start the new season on the front foot. After losing the toss the boys were sent in to the field where they still lacked one of their potent attacking threats risty Hart.
John Mabey was sent in to open the bowling with his vicous left arm pace, deceptive change up and pigeon like swagger. A direct and tight effort restricting the opposition batsmen. Nerd Flershgerg was in to bowl next. Bowling another tight line which eventually constricted the batsmen into hitting out deep to 'the riss' for the catch. Team Zone were under the pump with more tight bowling keeping them pressurised. Rab cab stepped up with his pace injection making the batsmen wish they were back at home with a shorty and a rom-com. In a serious powerplay , Captain CDow bowled himself. With his deceptive length but accurate line the Cap lead from the front, finally getting the breakthrough. With Rab cab increasing the pressure, CDow stepped up again as the batsmen looked to play through the on side with brilliant hands by Ring a ding roll. Lightening reflexes by nerd led to a superb direct hit sending the opp into dissarray. Wickets tumbled as the team zone plodded to a miserly score. Unlucky riss had a catch dropped and Hammer Clypse let one 'go down' like he does with his Mrs. off nerd. Other innings highlights included a stunning direct hit from John Johnson Mabey and a deep catch from Spring break 09.
Overall a solid start to the season in the field with bowling figures below.
A nervous opening pair in Hammer Clypse and The Riss looked to steer the innings and got off to a comprehensive start. Needling ones and twos with the odd four. After some tight opp bowling Hammer Clypse blocked a maiden like the pussy he is putting riss under pressure. Next over he went out somewhat controversially to on outside edge which to batter was deemed to be his pad. Next up was Rab Cab, with his shorty looking on really felt the pressure top hit big. After 2 massive slogs he finally connected, clearing the rope for six. He then took off his cap, mopped his brow and winked at Steff. What a romantic.
Two more sixes from two more balls had the boys reaching for more tin cans as we thought it was in the bag.. Next thing you know captain gets done sending in nerd. As Jew germans are not known for there cricketing talents his tenure at the crease was ugly yet effective. Ticking runs on the way to douvble figues with a highlight being a big 6 near the end of his innings. He holed out to point in a sorry looking stroke. Next up was Jon Benet Ramsey who proceeded to wiggle away at the total. With CLypse getting too keen for a red he called it a day and gave up his wicket. In came Captain CDow. and out went Captain CDow. A shocker. Terrible. ugly.
You could feel the tension in the stands as we chased 40 off the last eight.
Next came the hero of the day. Ringroll Jorje who suprised all by getting off to a cracker with a selection of elegant leg side strokes.... and john needled to strike to jorje he played like a true sporting icon steering us to within a run of a victory with light fading fast and rain pelting in his face. He was dismissed and it was left to harty and john to take us across the line. After 5 nervous dot balls the winning runs were scored!
Victory to the Fat Pitches!
