In an attempt to stem the flow, the Chairman uses all his flight and guile to command respect from the free scoring batsmen |
And at the other end, Joey is slowing the scoring rate as well |
And forcing the batsmen to play some interesting shots! |
Having sussed the Chairman, the batsman drives confidently |
And then smashes one for 4! |
After the drinks, and having taken a wicket, the new batsman has trouble reading the wise old master of spin |
Having got to the other end, he attempts a reverse sweep - very badly, and much to the bemusement of Joey |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, he fails miserably again the very next ball |
Joey coils for the appeal as the charging batsman misses the ball. Alas, the ball missed the stumps and Ollie missed the ball!! |
The wise old heads at NH know when to give up chasing a ball as the rather daunting boundaries rush towards them. Goulis has yet to gain that knowledge and slides himself into the fence! |
Meanwhile, the Chairman gets one to turn and bounce leaving everyone staring in disbelief |
Joey's quicker arm ball deceives the batsmen and hits Ollie straight between the eyes. Note that in the background, Guesty displays masonic tendencies! |
Spot the ball as Joey induces an edge |
It's really not Ollie's day as he again fails to spot the quicker one! |
Alex into the attack, and the runs begin to flow as the overs run out |
The skipper joins the fray and the run fest begins |
Throwing the kitchen sink comes to mind! |
Umpire Adam decides his biceps need a tadge more sun |
As the mayhem continues, Messrs Chairman and Secretary converse - surely finesmaster Morgs must punish such a lack of concentration on the playing field? |
Meanwhile, the onslaught continues |
and young Alex is not a happy bunny. The Wyatt/Cleal brothers together conceded well over 100 runs in their short spells (8 overs max per bowler) oh dear!! |
NH batting, Joey and Dazzer to lead the attack. Dazzer stands ready |
The crowd (Morgs, Malc, Derek, Steady, Des and the new boy take limited interest in proceedings. Oh, that's Wyo in the middle, the sightscreen is to the left! |
Joey as ever attacks from the start |
