Romsey & OTs, June 27 '09 (home)
Whiteparish won by 117 runs
Good Points
• No poncy team huddle at the start of the game or silly stretching excercises unlike the opposition which held up the game with both batsmen and umpires ready to start.
• More effortless runs from the in-form Paddy. 81 this week. Surely, a maiden century can’t be too far round the corner.
• Steve’s two monster sixes including one huge hit into the children’s playground – a vision of things to come if the white elephant gets built.
• Pops Green getting some much needed batting practice and scoring runs in readiness for his Golden Chumley in the 1st team the following week.
• Another score of over 200 runs for Whiteparish.
• Great bowling and fielding team performance with no Michael Jackson slack-arsed monkeying around from anyone.
• The Great Bartelli’s encouragement from behind the stumps. He only speaks in rhyme, “Come on Sean, lets use the lawn,” or “Come on Mike, bowl
at the hump to knock out the stump”. The boy’s a genius. Plus this time he didn’t get called a twat by the opposition.
• 3 wickets, all bowled, by Kevvie Magoo. Two more apiece also for Jack and Steve.
• Pops Green telling the Romsey batsman to stop swearing at the kids or he’ll squeeze his head.
• The Big Duck’s superb catch at long off. Now officially the best fielder in the Panesar position ahead of Monty himself.
• Jack’s fantastic low down catch just off the ground to close the Romsey innings and seal big points for Whiteparish.
• A huge win by 117 runs. Best all round performance of the season so far.
• 5th win of the season meaning relegation is avoided no matter what now. Ask Mr Noisy what the rest of season holds for us.
• Taking the piss out of Lord Harris at the Kings Head afterwards especially his bowling figures of 0 for 34 off 4 overs. Tidy.
Bad Points
• The wicket was soggy despite the outfield being bone dry – had Harris taken a shower and left the sprinkler on?
• The Great Bartelli’s text at 1.20pm asking what time the game starts despite Saturday cricket beginning at 2pm having been played in Whiteparish for well over 100 years.
• Captain losing the toss for the 5th time this season.
• Chris Crew, whilst looking for a lost ball hit over the pavilion by Steve, finding one of Goose’s well soiled porn mags in the hedgerow instead.
• Was it Clumsy or the Great Bartelli behind the stumps as it was difficult to tell.
• The Dangerous Brothers’ textbook Charlie Evans shots to get out to – both bowled hoiking across the line with their team in trouble.
• The tea lady complaining about the leaking tap in the pavilion kitchen. However, he has a point as Tytherley Pete’s plumbing was installed only a couple of weeks ago.
Summary
Whiteparish 227 for 4 off 42 overs (Paddy 81, Mike Green 35*, Steve 33)
OTs & Romsey III 110 all out off 25.2 overs (Kevvie 10-2-41-3, Jack 5-0-20-2, Steve 2.2-0-9-2)
