Bomber brings the house down

Keyworth bagged another 20 points as Thrumpton took a thumping at the Field of Dreams. The ever-changing opening partnership saw 100% pure Aussie Grant join Bomber at the crease. Thrumpton’s flaccid attack was easily despatched by Graham, wasting little energy by hitting 4’s with his first 8 scoring strokes. At the other end, GP was struggling to keep up, scoring just 5 to IG’s 50, and surviving two drops at slip & gulley. The 100 came up in 16 overs and GP finally got into his stride, despatching the attack all over and out of the ground. Despite the 50 run head start, Grant almost beat IG to his 100, then accelerated to 150 in no time, with nine 6’s along the way. His 150 was brought up with a 6 that, unbeknown to Grant, was dramatically caught over the line. Confusion reined as Grant was walking out only to be sent back to continue the onslaught. IG provided the inspiration for the headline this week though, with a massive 6 (a run for each of the roof tiles that he demolished on a neighbouring house).

Meanwhile Wozza nervously smoked his was through a pack of B&H, recalling past innings where he’d sat though a double hundred opening partnership, only to get a golden.
Grant was finally out for a career best 164 in the 39th over, putting on a record 318 for the first wicket. He returned to the pavilion to a standing ovation from the crowd. However, one of the loudest cheers of the afternoon was for Wozza’s first single, after the home crowd were willing the bowler to get a 2nd victim for comedy value alone. Marcel’s innings was masterful as shown in the wagon wheel below.


With IG not looking to make 200, captain Rocket called the batsman in after 42 overs; 334-1 dec at tea.

Tea was a masterful performance by the all male combo of Meek & Dessaur; the fresh strawberries a highlight. However, tea didn’t seem to sit too well with their best batsman who left early to deal with his own runs.

Like Plumtree, Thrumpton chose not to go for the win, deciding instead to shut up shop and go for the draw. This time though, wickets fell at regular intervals through good fast bowling from captain Rocket, wobblers from Meeky and tasty pies from Baker. The fielding performance was generally of a good standard, with a drop from Grant and some slow motion fielding from Strong whilst diving over the ball, the only blemishes. Thrumpton were all out for 145.

Firsts Rock to Rocket’s Rhapsody

Another episode of carry on Keyworth, as one-man-team KCC took this too literally leaving star-all-rounder Ball and Drury behind for the trip to Hucknall, leaving the Stiffs with a squad of 15 to choose from at 1.30. Drury hot-footed it up the A60 while Ball more sensibly opted for an afternoon with Gabby Logan.

Meanwhile north of the river, it was a case of the show must go on, and Rocket won the toss and batted. Garland was promoted from no.8 to open, but the move backfired and Dessy was soon in. Bomber set about justifying his reputation blasting 59 out of the first 70 before edging behind.

The late arriving Drury joined Woz for some proper cricket. Dessy was in fine form placing 90% through the arc from wide gully to backward point. Such was Marcels’s confidence against the spinner that he predicted a straight driven six and delivered the same. Having done the hard work, a slower ball from the local paper boy saw Dess out for 37.

100% Aussie Grant got another shocker, LBW to one that pitched on the adjacent astroturf. Drurs and Rocket then worked it around steadily to set up a last 10 over slog. Rocket smacked some lusty blows, including a glancing blow to a docile dog being walked around the boundary, his new gratuity allowance at Pedigree Petfoods used up within the first week.

Drurs hoisted the white flag on 32 to allow Meeky to have a dart. Rocket was run out for a fine 67 and Dale skipped out to bat. Sadly for Wensley, the skipper stopped him in his tracks, to promote Bobby to the crease. Baker was multi-tasking, answering his mobile phone midway through three runs, to guide wife Paula to the ground. The two big hitters decided they wanted to break free thumping a flagging attack to take us to 251 at the break.

Tea was filling, almost fresh pineapple the highlight.

Rocket’s arousing team talk called for one vision, but was interrupted by a motivational medley of Queen hits being pumped out from the home dressing room. However, Rocket and Charlie soon had the openers under pressure. Runs started to flow but the arrival of spin twins Graham and Baker had the middle order completely ga-ga. Rendu was like Monty at deep mid on dropping a catch three times in one go. A few balls later, Drury was startled by a howitzer at mid off but spared Rendu’s blushes.

Hucknall had no answer to the spin attack and another one bit the dust as Bomber turned one square through the gate. Great catches from Grant, Dale and Ian were a kind of magic and saw us well on top. It was like waiting for a hammer to fall as the tail-enders slogged a few lusty blows. But for Bobby, it was a case of don’t stop me now as I’m having such a good time, with a magical go-go gadget arm caught and bowled. We were rehearsing a rendition of we are the champions as Hucknall were all out for 135. Golden ended with 5-31, Bobby 4-53.

MOM: Golden
MOM in running: Garland 1, DJ Sammy 1, Bobby 1, Bomber 3, Big Tone 1

Meek Makes Mincemeat of Rivals

A great Golf Day at roasting Royal Rushcliffe for the unofficial 5th Major.

Well done to Meeky for winning the overall stableford competiton and a great example of Baker's First Law in practise: he who makes the rules profits by them.

Stu was in sole charge of setting the handicaps, including his own, and docked Bomber Graham three shots before play began. It was a wise move as Golden blitzed the course for a career best 78. Meeky though was consistent throughout, driving nearly every green, and it was only some Jenko-like putting that made it a contest. After a steward's enquiry to separate the two big-hitters, Meeky won on the countback rule, more complicated than the Duckworth-Lewis method.

Drurs, Dale, Rocket and Golden won the team prize, and Meeky longest drive.

Well done to Laddy for making everything run without a hitch, and for the 1000% improvement in prizes. Highlight of the gourmet chip platter was Reggie's schoolboy error, emptying a bottle of Sarsons over his plate of jocky's.

MOM: Meeky
TFC: Dessy

Heartbreak For Stiffs

A fantastic game of cricket saw the Stiffs lose out in the last over away at Long Whatton.

Leggy had clearly been reading his guide to village cricket describing the idyllic setting as "quintessentially English". Cowlard lost the toss and we batted on a belting looking pitch, but one that turned out to be Fools' Gold.

Lay Snr and Drury took the test match start time literally and set about batting all day. Cowlard was once again getting over-heated on the sidelines as Drury, Atherton-like, took 8 overs to get off the mark. Extras though were flowing nicely and we reached 25 off the first 13 overs on a disappointingly low and slow track. Then disaster: Ern' was sharply stumped and Top Man Burton was mortified to see his leg stump clipped next ball.

Star-all-rounder-in-waiting Benji brought out a marker pen to circle the middle on Drury's bat, and the scoring rate rose. Ben played another cameo before the impetuosity of youth got him playing too soon, caught by the paper boy in the covers for a breezy 25.

The slow surface didn't play to Beakey's sideways strengths. Butch was none too happy being out leg before for 10; but, various 'Hawkeye's' in the pavilion thought it pitched leg and would have hit middle, leaving Butch facing a hefty fine for dissent.

Cowlard couldn't resist a slog to the short leg side boundary and went for 11. Drurs' vigil was finally ended on 74 to a half-tracker that hit half way up off stump. Paul Lay got the biggest cheer of the day showing that one can get three, getting Dimps to somehow scamper the three runs needed to get to 180 and maximum batting points before the lunchtime break.

The long interval for the second-half of the football allowed us to savour a majestic spread, rated 11 out of 10 in most books. Impossible to pick a single highlight: chicken wings, bhajis, samosas, the melon platter and fruit trifle were on the shortlist.

We were tight in the reply conceding just 35 in the first 15 overs with Benji taking the first of two sharp caught and bowled's. Leggy was dressed like Greg Norman in the outfield and his bowling had more bite than previous weeks. At the other end we struggled as Drurs was slapped to the short leg side boundary.

It was run a ball stuff for the last 15 overs, but with a short boundary only wickets would slow the score. Ground fielding was excellent, Moley putting in several x-rated two footed tackles on the ball and Dimps waking from a slumber to grasp one at gully.

14 were needed off 3 overs and we needed inspiration. Then a riot. A lofty slog to the short boundary was still rising when Murali Burton, first checked his feet were inside the ropes, then plucked the ball one-handed for a miraculous catch. The opposition howled with horror claiming the Top Man's size twelves were over the line. Murali erupted like Vesuvius, red-hot expletives flowing like lava. The ump had no choice but to raise the finger. Poor old Butch was fielding in front of the baying on-lookers and copped some harsh banter.

11 were needed off the tense last over with two wickets remaining. The yips retuned for The Adonis bowling a Barnes-Wallace triple bouncing no-ball. The next ball went for 6 and all looked lost, before amazingly Evergreen Ern' took a top edged caught behind. With tension at fever-pitch, we couldn't protect the short boundary and the penultimate ball dribbled across the ropes.

One of the best games in many years, it had everything, just a shame we came a close second. Bowling figures were excellent: Cowlard 1-27 off 12, Benji 4-46, Boss Hog 2-34.

MOM: Drurs
MOM in running: Benji 2, Drurs 2, Cowlard 1, Top Man 1

Plums Suck

Saturday finally saw the big game take place, after months of hype. Plumtree 2s were the latest lambs to the slaughter at The Abbatoir (formerly known as Field of Dreams). Confusion reigned before the game had started as a misprint in the World Cup wallchart in Plumtree made the opposition unaware that Sven’s boys were kicking off at 2pm. Refusing to split the cricket around the Paraguay game, the Plums got their come- uppance as Rocket won the toss and gleefully chose to bat. As the Plums took the field in sweltering heat, Judy arrived with a house aerial stolen that morning from a rooftop in Solihull. Rugby fan Garland was hopeful that the giant aerial could pick up porn rather than football from Germany, but all he found was Motty and Lawro.

Graham & Ladd opened up, but with cheers reverberating round Keyworth after the early World Cup goal, Laddy smashed one to cover and hurried back to see the own goal replays. DJ Vospa span his tunes one last time before leaving for his world tour, although rumours abound that he’s got a gig playing the decks for the Summer at the “Skegness Swingers Afternoon Tea Party”. After a quick twenty, one DJ departed for another. Sammy made a welcome return, and with Bomber Graham carpet bombing the boundaries, the boys upped the run rate by taking 29 off 8 balls.

Graham smashed his way to an excellent 123, and a deserved place in the “Tons against Plums” Hall of Fame. Sammy got a fine 63, whilst all of the middle order contributed. Parker got excited about reaching 20, and ran himself out. Meek slugged a few with his improved golf swing, whilst Garland and Rocket got a sweat up with some quick running. It was left to Baker to put the icing on the cake (rather than eating the whole thing) with a huge six off the final ball. Baker returned to the pavilion before the ball landed in Chopper Harris’s former garden. DJ Sammy entered into long negotiations with the Plums scorer as the run fest had led to a miscount, before settling at 350-7. Barry skuttled off to his history books to see if that was a new record at the Field of Dreams.

Tea was the best of the season so far, as The Reporter and his beautiful girlfriend put on a marvellous spread – Millionnaire’s Shortbread and Choc Ices were the highlights.

In reply, The Plums were never in it. Laddy swallowed his first edge of the season off Rendu, whilst Golden turned his hand to some masterful off spin. The fielding was good until Dale did a fine impression of Monty Panesar by dropping a dolly at mid off. Undeterred, Dale changed his contact lenses, and returned to catch a skier in the deep, although bowler Baker had to shout out his preferred candidate to catch it as three mute fielders ran towards each other.

Laddy created some fireworks after taking his second edge of the day, by informing the team huddle that the previous five overs had been “indifferent”. After some internal spats, the Millers returned to work, with Dave Garland taking two sharp stumpings. The Plums shut up quicker than a New Orleans shopkeeper in a hurricane, and the game dawdled to a draw. Stumps were drawn at 8.30, leaving the married players to dash to their mobiles and promise they’d be home soon.

For the singletons, Buzz beckoned. Most watched more World Cup action, and tales of derring do from John the Adonis Beeton – “real men don’t eat quiche”. However The Lothario Duncan “Disorderly” Tarran, chose to recant his fine fielding display to the cute barmaid. The Reporter left before romance blossomed, but good money had been bet that the match headline might be repeated before sunrise..

Laddy's Cup Runneth Over

Another sunny day saw another solid batting performance with the Millers topping 500 runs for the weekend. Laddy opening with Golden (24) firstly got back-to-back 50’s then went on to notch his maiden 100 for the club. It was a great knock and marked a welcome return to form this week. Golden was out caught in the deep trying to release some anger after swearing at the umpire, who didn’t seem to know the changes to the wide rules in cup matches.
The fielding performance from the home side was abject, dropping at least half a dozen chances and seemingly not coping with the bumpy outfield conditions that they are surely used to. At one point their 16 yr old fielder got a bad bounce off the rugby pitch, the ball evading him for 4 more. He received no sympathy from Grant, the 100% pure Aussie cheered and clapped; his English team mates owe him a lesson in cricketing etiquette.

DJ Vespa’s view was that they were a good fielding side apart from they couldn’t catch – surely a pretty high requirement for a good fielder? Some good run-a-ball batting saw an exhausted DJ Vespa (44) top 100 for the weekend, well supported by Judy (28*) and Rocket (19*), enabling the Millers to post a bumper 264 – 5 (off 45 overs) at the break. Tea was below average compared to the previous day’s spread. Some players were worried about getting scurvy due to the lack of fruit. Keyworth entered the field to the sound of thumping drum and bass from a nearby house that lasted for 20 overs, enabling some senior pros to take the opportunity to roll back the years and throw some shapes in their warm up routines. Judy Garland at last had the opportunity to take the labels off his new gloves, and looks set to stay behind the stumps after a solid display (nothing to do with Dringy being at the World Cup).

The Rocketman, buoyed by the high tempo beats resonating around the arena, quickly dismissed their skipper and best batsman. Iggy again looked like he’d bowled off spin all his life and got another 3-for. Benji came on and bagged a wicket with his first ball, the batsman deceived by the flight, perhaps expecting something quicker after the badger took the worlds longest run up. The youngster bowled really well though, taking 2 wickets for no runs off his first 16 balls, one of which was a great diving catch by Aussie Grant.

AC came on to bowl to make a game of it, his 3 overs going for 19. Liam, trying to impress his on looking girlfriend, bowled tightly, with his 4 overs going for 8 and was unlucky not to get a wicket. Half Australian Emma bowled some very ordinary wides and no balls, but also managed 2 straight ones, for a dodgy LBW and a clean bowled that removed off stump. However, Aussie Grant wasn’t happy with the half bred’s celebrations, saying he should have given the batsman a send off in true Aussie style.
Their innings was a rather boring affair, with only one batsman chancing his arm. Laddy finished off a good day at the office by swooping to affect a tight run out as the batsman finally thought about going for it. After 38 long overs, they were all out for 142 keeping the Millers name in the hat for the next round.

Win Away at Wilsons

Leggy stepped up to the plate to skipper the Stiffs away at Wilsons. Winning the toss, Boss Hog looked to the clear blue sky and fancied a bat, but then looked down to see white lines as the only way to distinguish the strip from square. So it was a wise choice to use the new ball and Benji ripped through the top order. Wilsons were wobbling on 6 for 3 with two in two balls for young Billy; however, the usual KCC hat trick ball followed, fielded by leg slip. Another victim was soon to follow with old heads Drury and Lay taking responsibility shouting "Yours Benji" to a spiralling top edge.

At the other end Moley on debut was generating pace off the ping pong surface, before finally pitching one up and clipping leg stump. Leggy brought himself on and his first ball was both a wide and a no ball. Drury at the other end flighted some filth. Both soon took a wicket and the home side were on the ropes at 34-6.

Ground fielding was mixed. Top Man Burton was like Buster Gonad in the slips, unable to reach down for some low chances due to his inflamed plums. Moley was unsighted by another octopus follow through from Leggy and spilled a sitter. Even Grets couldn't hang onto a tricky one-hander at point.

We still had John Beeton in reserve and the King of Bling struck in his second over. Ever the old pro, the Adonis quickly took his sweater to protect his average. Leggy had the luxury to call up Murali Burton to search for his lost direction. Matt this week had clearly been remodelling his action on Peter Crouch's goal celebration, but his own celebrations were anything but robotic as Wilson's hapless no.10 was stumped yards down. Benji returned to polish off the jack to end with a new PB of 5-14 off 7 overs. 79 all out was a rout.

Tea was expected to be dire, but was instead a home made feast, Victoria Sponge the highlight. Leggy was so impressed, he also tucked into the tea on the adjoining table, reserved for the game on the adjoining pitch and was given a thick ear by the tea lady.

In reply Lay Snr and Drury got off to a quick start helped by more extras than in Ben Hur. Drury played on with the score on 47 and Ernie followed four runs later. Benji literally went from hero to zero clipping a short ball to mid wicket. Both Paul Lay and Grets couldn't handle the uneven bounce and at 60 for 5 the clouds were gathering.

Top Man Burton had borrowed a jockstrap from Dimp and was like a new man, showing balls for the fight. At the other end Duncan was perfecting his county leave. Try as they might the Wilsons bowlers couldn't make another breakthrough. Matt ended unbeaten again on 21, and it was fitting that Duncan got off the mark to score the winning run, having given up a day at the Test Match to make sure we had 11 men. A fine victory by five wickets.

MOM: Benji (with special mention to Duncan)

KP's The Nuts

Having given Belvoir a good licking, the 1st XI continued their good form with a thumping win over Nottingham. The Field of Dreams looked a picture in the sunshine, with a featherbed for a wicket. Team selection was a shambles, with the Stiffs refusing to select captain Cowlard, who was dropped to the 1s. Also called up was Steve “Tommy” Thomas, fresh from a Stars in Their Eyes appearance as Robson Green.

Captain Ron Jeremy Rendu came second at the toss, and was duly inserted. Laddy and Bomber Graham lashed 80 off 15 overs before Graham middled a full toss down deep square’s throat. Laddy, fearing another rollicking from the watching VP Geoff Baker after a midweek pep talk in Edinburgh, pushed on to fifty. Bored with the spinners, Ladd threw his wicket, with Parker following quickly behind. Rendu flapped around, much to the disgust of his father, who told anyone that would listen that Rocket’s sister was the better cricketer.

It was left to Big Tone to anchor the innings (69*) with his Kevin Pietersen batting style, and Kevin the Gerbil hair style. He also grabbed a new KCC record – taking 18 singles in a row, before pushing the boat out and running a two – great excitement for all that were present. It was left to Marcel Dess(aill)y to make the bottom of the innings wiggle to his tune, much like the Bestwood Belle’s bottom the night before.

Tea was an outstanding effort from The Collisons, although few knew what mystery injury had stopped Dale from playing rather than slicing melons. The Collison Club Sandwich was the highlight.

As the Nottingham innings was about to begin, Captain Rendu bouyed the troops with an on-field huddle which ended rapidly, after Laddy’s windy appreciation of the Collison tea. Rendu struck early, holding a stunning caught and bowled, after the pinch hitter smashed one straight back. Graham bowled his tweakers up the hill and returned 5-44 from 16 overs - appealing himself hoarse in the process.

Baker saw his chance to go for the jugular of the Nottingham innings, and quickly went for 11 in his first over, including a big six which ruined the Vicar’s Tea Party. However Nelly steadied himself to snare a hat-trick, thanks to some smart glove work from Dringy, who had taken five hours to sober up from a day at the Test. As the Nottingham innings fell apart, Cowlard was brought on to rapturous applause from the returning 2nd XI, who perhaps knew the bowling change would allow them the time to steal all the hot water from the showers for the second week running. Sensing the plot, Baker duly rapped up the innings and maximum points for the Millers, winning by 100 and plenty runs.
