MATCH REPORT SPECIAL : STAPLEFIELD 1sts VS. PRESTON NOMADS, 3rd July
PIKE BEMUSED AS HIS PLAYERS DRIVE OFF TO 2nd XI FIXTURE
Newly elected SCC 1st
XI Captain Christian Threader is finding out the hard way just how difficult a
job he has taken on. Just half an hour before the start of play, he witnessed
several potential 1st Team players drive off to play a 2nd
Team fixture instead, leaving him short staffed for this crucial League match.
Here we report from the
Rebel Camp: -
James ‘The Kiwi’ Dermott
Jeez, to be honest mate
where I come from, the Individual is always greater than The Club. Although I’d
have liked to have played against the Nomad 3rd XI, the chances are
that I would’ve probably only batted about No.6, 7 or 8 and only had about half
a dozen overs to bowl. Whereas, I thought that if I claimed to have a bad foot,
I could turn out for the 2nd XI against inferior opposition, OPEN
the batting AND get a good 7 over spell of bowling in as well! And that’s
exactly what happened. Ripper!
Steve ‘Windy’ Miller
To be fair, where I come
from, the Individual is always greater than The Club. Although I’d have liked
to have played against the Nomad 3rd XI, the chances are that I
would’ve probably only batted about No.5, 6 or 7 and only had about half a dozen
overs to bowl. Whereas, I thought that if I said I needed to hold a new
player’s hand, I could turn out for the 2nd XI against inferior
opposition, bat No.4 AND get to bowl 15 overs as well! And that’s exactly what
happened. Splendid!
Kev ‘The Moormanator’ Moorman
Well, to be honest, I’d
already given up Bradbury & Bacon out of my squad of 13. To have released
another would have taken me down to 10 and a cricket team needs to be made up
of 11. The maths just wouldn’t allow it. In any case, James had a bad foot so
wasn’t fit enough to play. Also, he didn’t tell me he was available until
Friday night, so it was all a bit short notice. I felt sorry for him with such
a nasty injury so I let him open the batting and bowl just the 7 overs.
Dave ‘Stavross’ Davross
Oche ayyeee, ooocchhhhh
shiiiiiiitt. Had a greet game on thar Saturday, batting number 11 and not
geeting a bowl. Occhhh shiiiitt.
