Broughton, May 16 '09 (away)

Broughton won by 54 runs

Good Points

• Great bowling by Jack against the formidable Ian Bussey.

• Getting Bussey out for only 125 and restricting him to 10 sixes.

• Funny comments from the Great Bartelli to encourage Jack – “You’ve got him in a flap, Jack” the pick of many (others worthy of note – “That’s a cracker, Jack,” “Unlucky, that’s just a bit high, Jack”).

• The Great Bartelli being called a twat by the batsman after saying, “He’s given that a smack, Jack.”

• The Great Bartelli’s comments again but this time to encourage Steve – “Lets have another gem, Mr Jewell.” “That’s diamond, Mr Jewell” and “What a pearler” were others to keep us entertained.

• Good bowling at the death by Steven Jewell helped by the Great Bartelli – see above.

• A brave team effort at chasing down 236.

• A partnership of 130 between Mr Noisy (76) and Captain Flap (66).

• Clumsy and Birdman playing safe and not attempting to “run” twos.

• Birdman’s batting average now bigger than his girth.

• The Great Bartelli not getting a duck, 0 not out at the end.

• Taking the piss out of Lord Harris at the Kings Head afterwards.

Bad Points

• Mr Noisy failing to get his bunny Bussey out.

• Clumsy’s dalek-like attempt at catching the ball.

• Broughton tea. More food available in a Harare supermarket.

• Coulshed Senior being christened the Big Duck by Coulshed Junior.

• Coulshed Senior’s bad guffs – needs to stay off that women’s anti-bloatiness Actimel stuff and stick a cork up there instead.

• 3 Juniors getting 1 run between them. That’s now a total of 1 run in 7 Junior innings – previous comments from the Littleton report still valid.

• In 2 matches, the 2nds batting has now totalled 9 ducks.

• The Great Bartelli, a teacher, struggling to understand the simple task of scoring and giving byes against the bowler.

Summary

Broughton 236 for 4 off 42 overs (Jack Orr 10-0-35-2, Steven Jewell 5-0-13-2)

Whiteparish 182 for 9 off 42 overs (Sven Hocking 76, Captain Flap 66, Birdman 17*)
