Legge's Eleven Update

Update from Boss Hogg on last Sunday's friendly fixture away at Whatton.......

We batted first on a green wicket against a team containing 4 youngsters.
Duncan 7 (kept Meeky company)
Captain Correlli 0 (might as well have been using a mandolin. Ct by 1st slip, second attempt), Meeky 54 (someone ought to tell their young quickies that they've got to pitch it up)
Dafty 5 (solid defence & quick singles)
Cowlard 18 (nice form)
Adrian Eames 19 (incl.3 boundaries, must be the bat he borrowed)
Liam 14 & Ted 13 (nice partnership to give us a target)
JB 2 n.o.(managed to miss the fielders this time)

Total 144 didn't include a couple of overs from their 10yr old with a quick cricket ball. Liam very nicely giving his wicket with the final delivery.

Tea would put a few Saturdays to shame. Fruit kebabs the highlight

In true Sunday fashion everybody bowled and everyone but JB took wickets. He'd probably used all his luck up on Saturday. Not that we missed him as spin king Dafty was in the groove. Had two spells of magic and ended with 9-2-22-2. The second wicket being a majestic catch low down at 1st slip (guess who?). Even Dunc got his 1st ever Keyworth wicket making the last recognised batter play on. The last batsman was the afore mentioned 10 yr old who Meeky bowled to with the soft cricket ball (the things some first teamers will do for their average). Highlight being keeper Cowlard diving in front of the stumps to palm the ball away to preserve the youngsters wicket. This act produced the biggest laugh from everybody present on a day of constant wry one-liners from the old 'uns on both teams.

Ajournment to the local capped a proper Sunday.
