So, Dorking to bat and young Sara waits patiently |
She attacks from the start |
With a bit of a 'stand and deliver' attitude reminiscent of a few cricketers I know, but effective never the less |
The experience of Jan doesn't seem to be stemming the flow of runs |
As the ball is hit to all parts |
And Dona's bowling suffers a similar fate |
And Dona, if you've followed other stoolball stories in the gallery, is a canny lass |
But the run fest continues |
The keeper has to be on her toes |
Jan is replaced by Kaz |
But Sara is still literally throwing her bat at the ball |
Dona was getting the treatment, but sooner or later the guile will get ya! |
For example, this beautifully flighted slower ball floated past the swipe and bowled her |
whereas the quicker delivery can almost take your head off! Innings over. |
So, Kerry and Jackie to open needing 44 in 4 overs and the fearsome Sue to open the bowling - she's quick - and Kerry is casual (or just happy to put bat to ball) |
Believe me, she is quick! |
Kerry gets in her stride |
as does Jackie |
Now, if you're standing in front of the wicket which is about head high, it's odds on that sooner or later you'll have to fend one off your face! |
The crowd are looking worried - the run rate isn't high enough |
Kerry gives it everything, but alas is caught |
Enter Kaz with only one thought - runs - this went for 4 |
And this went for 4 |
And this went for 6.... don't believe me? Ask the umpire |
