Evening all great to meet all those that played today was another really great day even if the weather wasn't great and thanks to Stone for providing amazing teas and for being excellent hosts.
Slight change of format this year as opposed to a timed all day game we had 35 overs a side with lunch In between. Then tea after the 2nd 35 overs and 20 overs per side after that.
We batted first and after keeping faster Eddie out for the first over the wheels fell off a little to a younger lad at the other end who picked up 3 wickets in his first 2 overs yours truly started the mini collapse slapping my 3rd ball down mid offs throat, Ian (Manormanic) was C&B and then jake nicked off to first slip leaving us 10-3. Addie (pro cricketer) steadied the ship with some big pulls and drives and managed a good 60 odd before saying a sweep. Ian iand123 chipped in with a solid 30 odd and then some bits and pieces got us to 182.
The bowling started well with pistol snaring the opener 3rd ball caught by Jake behind the stumps and then Marcus from Affinity was caught at first slip playing an outrageous shot first ball (top lad) by myself. Then there middle order who were very good players put on runs before I bowled one through the gate. The forum not known for its bowling bowled good lines and wickets feel after that at regular intervals and they finished 185.
The 20/20 innings started slowly with yours truly playing a test match knock forcing the oppo to bowl pies to get my eye in. Pistol came and went quickly followed by Jake who Yorker himself to a leggie and then Ian and I put on a few getting us up too the 100 mark or there abouts a few lusty blows later we managed 120 odd. Then in the rain we started again can't remember much by know as knackered and wet but Stone won with an over or so to go.
All in a great day. I'm sure pictures and a better match report will follow by our glorious but useless fielder mr Saunders
