Title: IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED - FATTY GOT A 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: FattusCattus on April 25, 2015, 09:51:12 PM: This may not mean much to some of you proper players - but for me, it's finally happened!!!! 58 runs today against Oxted!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot tell you how happy I am - after 24 years of trying, I have finally scored a proper, Saturday cricket 50. It included 11 x 4's and was quite violent, but did include several shots through the offside.

I;m so happy, and I have drunk so much beer, that it has tken me ages to write this post!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: Buzz on April 27, 2015, 01:30:36 PM: I have heard that it involved only a couple of play an miss whooshes and there was a huge LBW appeal when the master was on 49 - with an inside edge saving the great man. I also heard there was a small amount of invective offered by the keeper after said appeal rejection.

The team photographer was not on hand to capture the moment, which was apparently marginally sheepish and slightly shell shocked.
