Thruxton, May 30 '09 (away)
Thruxton won by 4 wickets
Good Points
• Captain Flap winning the toss for the first time this season.
• The Captain being dropped on 0 by Thruxton’s Clumsy wannabe ‘keeper.
• More runs for the Big Duck (53).
• A promising innings of 23 not out from Paddy.
• No duck for Steve this week, 0 not out at the end of the innings.
• The team scoring over 200 runs for the 2nd week running.
• Clumsy and the Captain first in-line for tea in case another Broughton tea was on the cards.
• Sven finally catching one at slip after all these years.
• Karl’s great running catch in the deep with his Terry Pike sunglasses on.
• Good tweakers from Sean, 3 wickets including 2 lbws.
• Birdman stopping a certain boundary with his knee and then performing a contender for the Ministry of Silly Walks as a result.
• Taking the piss out of Lord Harris at the Kings Head afterwards.
Bad Points
• Whiteparish scoring over 200 and then Thruxton winning with almost 6 overs to spare.
• After scratching around for 6 overs for 3 runs, the Captain being told his batting was all washed up by umpire Clumsy.
• Captain Flap dropping a dolly and then being told by Clumsy his fielding was all washed up as well.
• Mr Noisy taking a catch at slip and then Clumsy piping up, “The Captain don’t believe in a slip, lads!”
• The opposition racking up 80 runs in the first 11 overs of their innings.
• Karl, an ambulance man, bowling 3 overs and then collapsing on the wicket after the end of his 3rd over.
• After the game in the Royal Oak pub in Charlton, Clumsy waiting for a Basic Instinct moment with the girl in an extremely short skirt on the table near us and then telling everyone to look.
• Clumsy’s Porky’s moment when a rather large girl blocked his view of the above girl in said short skirt – “Will you get outta the way, you lard-ass!”
• Finding Thruxton’s equivalent of Harris – a bloke called Stinky by his team mates.
• In the Kings Head later, Graham Dear whingeing about dirty plates being left in the pavilion from the previous week.
Summary
Whiteparish 206 for 4 off 42 overs (The Big Duck 53, Captain Flap 64, Paddy 23*, Karl 20, Mr Noisy 20)
Thruxton 207 for 6 off 36.2 overs (Sven 10-0-47-2, Sean 7-1-33-3)
