Seconds Roasted at Lambley

Seconds put up a good show with only 9 men away at the Lambley postage stamp. Cowlard had been taking lessons from Rendu, arriving too late for the toss, DJ Vespa called correctly and we bowled.

Sheriff Hallam and Cowlard had no luck early. Spence on first change took 3 wickets. Murali Burton was a good foil at the other end also getting three scalps. The highlights in the field were a great reaction catch from the Adonis at first slip, and a juggling Billy Smart drop from Ernie.

Cowlard returned to take two late wickets and 160 at tea was a good effort.

In reply we simply ran out of batters. Cowlard was dropped twice on the way to a quickfire 15. Ernie was run out dawdling and Big Tone couldn't follow his heroics from the previous week. Top Man Burton was c&b for a duck. Rob 'The Butcher' Beake found the short side boundaries to his liking cutting and chopping his way to a fine 40. Having put on 70 odd with Paul 'One Gets Two' Lay, a between over update say Paul tell Rob that he was on for a big score. Needless to say the next over saw Butch run out after a very optimistic call from Paul. Boss Hog and Sheriff tried in vain but we fell 34 short.
