Played another friendly today, against a team who have beaten us a lot in the league over the years before moving to a different league. In the past they’ve had no problem with bouncing kids, outright cheating and almost coming to blows over a game. They rocked up expecting another easy win.
However, those kids they used to bounce and cheat out of games are grown up now, and two of them hit 50 (Retired) as we racked up 220 inside 40. Personally came in with a few overs to go and hit a couple before being bowled.
We then had them 10-5 in reply and one of their middle order hit 50 to stop it being over very quickly (and their skipper told him not to retire as they wanted to win 👀) A 15-year old coming back to our club after a year away took 6-for in addition to his 50 as we beat them comfortably. Personally kept for the first time in 2 years. Took a catch & a stumping with a handful of byes.
Just goes to show that cheats don’t always prosper
