Massive roll on

Mr Angry's picture

Massive 133-3, Civil Service 88-7 or so. And the Civil Service were extremely civil in accepting our request to rearrange the game originally scheduled for Tuesday, but which coincided with the MCC fixture. Many thanks. We may have won the league, no official announcement other than a 2 fine for not attedning a meeting hald at no notice.A dark night and the Massive curry side settled on a 12x8-ball over game prior to Rubeeh. Good move in end, as the rain started as we finished. Nails concentration ruined early with good bluff and double bluff from Davey about the all weather pitch resulting in Nails changing from spikes to slippies to spikes to slippies again. Consequently Nails hammered one into someone's hands early prior to Jim and Sealy putting on about 70 or so. Good timing from Jim on variable bounce pitch, several into next field. Opposition nearly impaled on fence climbing over it on several occasions.

Sealy then out, Angry used the edge to some effect (in the sense of not much effect) and Filth filthed it a bit. Filth showed just how slow he is now that he's sporting a gut by getting run out on the last ball by 10 yards with Angry already looking for a second.

The bowling was interesting with Longers shaping in off a long run, Sealy bowling slower than usual on a long run, Davey quicker than usual of a short run, Filth got interesting bounce, which actually was interesting, Angry carted all over (no change there then) on a short run, you get the picture. Longers got an extra over for getting the third wicket much to Davey's chagrine who wanted it himself.

The club is to set up a new cup to be awarded at the end of season dinner, the Pietersen-Longley award for girly fielding won convincingly by Waif himself in refusing to stop the ball at mid off while jumping over the ball mouthing get it away from me, it'll hurt".

Anyway we won, and were nicely warmed up for a Mangla, which was OK but not as good as the last one. Seven in attendance and so we G7 solved the world's problems, as you do.

Attock in the Mangla as well in force, maybe we should be playing them in 4 years time? Discuss."
