The Massive with the usual suspects visited Shiregreen on a swealtering summer's evening SCMWM 166-6 (Stewart 68) Shiregreen 73 (Sealy 3 Magics for 12)As I arrived first followed by Stewie and Riaz thought that me and Stewie should open. Skipper of The horizontal order strolled in with the rest of the team around 6.15.

Once me and Stewie had sorted how many overs to bat Stewie set about the bowling not really timing Riazs bat. The vampire at the other end didnt fair much better as the ball kept low on the mat.

The 100 patrnership came up after 8 overs before Cymbols was given the big send off by the 14yo for 46. Sunshine came in and looked rather phased by the surroundings. Stewie opened the shoulders and was caught at long on. Lord and the Kiwi smacked a few. THe horizontal one came and went for not a lot and it was left to Angry to up the anti with a strike rate of 166.66 to get us up to 166.

Air support circled the ground a few times keeping an eye on our cars especially JP seniors! Davey bowled some rude stuff and Angry always likes to keep the opposition in the game. Horizontal got nearly flustered whilst drinking cut price fizzy lime at mid off. I quote DV: They're up with the rate - we might lose this."

Angers struck first 1-40 then again 2-44 (Angrys figures) Davey got lucky the keeper caught one. It was left to a mutinity on the field before order was restored and the introduction of The legend and Lord.

With the field properly set Gandolf bowled a beatiful flighted topspinning magic ball and took the return catch.

A secong wicket fell in the over and adouble wicket 8 ball maiden ensued. At the other end Lord had an easier caught and bowled thought about it waited to see if someone from thirdman would be able to get to the crease before him and then nearly broke three fingers with the old mick dundee style of catching!

Further calamity ensued when The Kiwi forgot which way the ball spun in the Northern Hemisphere and Riaz had to console him! Antips useless! Order restored when Sealy let go of the doozra which was smashed high high towards deep midwicket......Stewie (And this is no lie) ran 40 yards full tilt from deep backward square launched himself one handed and the rest..you had to be their BRILLIANT! The tail was moped up and beers in the dressing room thanks to ID. Nice to Win! What a team!"
