Match Report vs Hockey 29 July 2010@ Wenvoe (Skipper Captain Dan, report Richie)

A Thursday game at Wenvoe as a clear and sunny evening welcomed the Casuals and Cardiff Hockey to their shield encounter.

I have no idea if we won the toss or not but with the Casz fielding JB opened up at the football end with Captain Dan taking the 2nd over at the pavilion end.

A two off the first ball was followed by 18 dot balls – the 14th dot ball gave JB a wicket (bowled) in his 2nd over. The remainder of the opening duo’s spell saw Hockey up the rate a little and they had reached 28 for 1 off 6 overs.

First change gave Dion (football end) and Mr Boombastic (Pavilion) take over and with mixed fortunes as Dion taking a wicket (caught Shandy w/k) in his first over with Gaz taking some stick going for 19 in his first over. However Gaz came back superbly to take two wickets in his second over and one in his third (two bowled and 1 caught – on the run at point - by Shakey !!). A good spell by these two bowlers taking out Hockey’s top and middle order but with Hockey upping the rate adding 54 runs at the same time.

The final pairing of Pablo and Winky started well with Paul taking a wicket in his first over but with Hockey now middling everything they connected with the field was spread. Winky cranked up his pace a little but the next victim was Shandy behind the stumps dislocating his little finger. And after having it ‘popped’ back in by the team’s mad medic (Doc Holliday) he took an over off the field before returning to take a position out of harms way with Shakey taking over the gloves. Paul took two further wickets in his final over (all three of Paul’s wickets were bowled). Winky finished his spell wicketless and the Hockey closed on 133 for 8 off 18 overs (23 extras [16 wides; 2 byes; 5 leg byes] – 17 fours)

With Shandy’s injury messing up the skipper’s batting plans Darren and Shaggy (Mr Lover Lover) opened the innings. Hockey striking in the 2nd over removing Gaz (0 - LBW) followed by Shaky (bowled) first ball – the hat-trick ball, much to Frank’s relief, went for 5 wides.

Darren and Frank then set about stabilizing the innings, rotating the strike and adding 54 for the 2nd wicket before Darren was bowled for 26 in the twelfth over. Paul joined Frank and departed without troubling the score (bowled) in the same over.

The Casz were now well behind the rate with just six overs remaining and 4 wickets down. Frank fell in the 13th over (bowled) for 22 closely followed by Shagger in the 14th for 3 (caught).

Winky and JB were now at the crease with the remainder of the Casz desperately kitting up. Winky next to go (stumped) for 7 in the 15th which also saw Dion follow him back the next (first) ball (bowled).

With JB out (bowled for 1) 2nd ball of the 16th over it left Shandy and Richy to face the final few overs – the two crocks (yes there’s no spelling mistake we were both carrying or recovering from injuries) adding 18 for the final wicket finishing 7 and 8 not out respectively.

Casz finishing on a disappointing 94 for 9 off 18 overs (19 extras [17 wides; 2 leg byes] – 5 fours). We were well in the game up until around the middle of the innings when we lost too many wickets at regular intervals without keeping the scoreboard ticking all the time.
