Morgs down the hill and the slip cordon waits; great to see Dan back in the side and grazing at second slip. |
Stubborn opposition from Colin Smith as Dazzer gets some treatment - he sliced 2 consecutive 4's over the slips before this one! |
Is it Alfred Hitchcock I hear you say? No, the unmistakeable profile of ex Captain Cheesy ensuring fair play |
NH might have been concerned that Ockley would shut up shop |
The guys were ready just in case there was strokeplay |
And all the while Colin was there, that was assured! |
Dazzer breaks through, stumps, bails and dust everywhere! |
Colin fights on |
Morgs gets his man; a rap on the pads, an exhuberant appeal and Cheesy raises the dreaded digit |
And Morgs is clearly happy |
The new man is a bit more circumspect |
Which can't be said for Colin - still fighting |
Morgs, the longest short leg you'll ever see! When I took this, he was moving backwards! |
Steve 'Steady' Edwards into the attack |
Dazzer strikes again!! |
The Chairman replaces Dazzer, and serves up his usual mixture of flight, guile and occasional turn |
This one went a very long way for 6. However, all part of the plan.. |
as he chipped the next one straight to Adam. |
The next batsman (the brother of the recently departed, hence the lookalikie!) goes on the charge, misses the ball and Dave is about to remove the bails. Wickets are tumbling. Colin has drilled one straight back at Steady, so it's 9 down and victory in sight. |
The NH umbrella field greets nos 10 & 11 |
and they get the same at the other end as Nobby powers down the hill |
The finesmaster deliberates on just how much it will cost Petrol who has just dropped a catch! |
Joey replaces the Chairman to introduce some leggies |
Meanwhile Nobby is still battering away |
