Did we win last night? Game from 13 Oct 2005

Last night saw an interesting match between 3rd and 2nd place teams on the ladder.

As normal for some reason we were fielding 1st and trying to emulate the awesome effort in the field that we had the week before. As we looked across to the oppositions bench and saw the logo on their t-shirt "Have you had you Weet Bix" all we could think of have you eating anything at all today (Small guys)!

First pairing finished will a mild 10 runs. With confidence within the team things turned a little with the second pairing played some shots that could only be described as "Flukes" and ended up with 37 on the board. 3 pairing put on 32 and the score was 75 with the final pair to come in. With the skipper Hollywood AKA Joel " I'm so hot" Cave asked to pick a batter he went with a player who had the speed of a turtle between the wickets. Richie B who was commentating the match described the move as marvellous as the last pair had a number of run out and finished on -5 and set us a total of 70 to win

As Davo and Ockie strolled to the crease there was a sense in the air these boys are going to put something special on. They took straight away to the attack the showed their dominance and cruised to a 20 run stand and winning the first skin!!

2nd pairing of "I'm so Hot" and "Con the fruiter" aka Peter walked out and really showed the Weet Bix boys how to play the game. Taking quick runs and hitting the balls into all the nets they finished with a healthy total of 40 runs. Grace and elegance were in all their shoots and word is the 1st grade teams are eyeing them off!!! HAHA

The 3rd pairing of the night was absolutely shocking and names won't be mentioned as it is to embarrassing to mention and watch!!! :)

With the score on 70, "Man Mountain" aka Michael and "I love man Can's of beer before a game" Matt went into bat knowing that the needed to play sensible cricket and take it easy and the game was ours. They didn't go close to do that. The smacked the ball to all parts of the net, Even managing to charge down the wicket, miss the ball and still sneak in a run!!! Highlight of the night!!! The final score for the night was in the mid 120's.

The Sav's turned it on again with a convincing win at the FDICC (Five Dock Indoor Cricket Centre)...

Next week will see some challenges as we chase for the top of the ladder spot, but with the ticker of the boys should see us come home with a win.
