Match Report vs Hills
Plymouth 24 July 2011@ Pentrebach (Skipper Cheese,
report Dan)
I think this was a late entry onto the fixture list (fixture
bureau), so the Cazh headed up the valleys to Pentrebach (Merthyr).
I will also assume that the toss was won by skipper Cheese,
and HP were inserted to bat. Winkie and Goff opened the bowling.
Both started the Cazh off well, Winkie bowling his 8 straight
through picking up one wicket bowled. Big Willy and Steveo
were next up, both under fire from the batting power of HP.
Steveo did pick up a wicket stumped by Ash. The Stephens twins
next up and though going for some runs, the run rate was brought
back a bit, plus picking up 4 wickets between them –
one of which was a supposedly splendid catch by Steveo, another
by Winkie and a another stumping. Tesh and Cheese finished
off the bowling Tesh getting a wicket. Supposedly over the
course of the innings the cazh managed to put down 6 catches
– which had proved costly. The final score 227-7 off
the 40overs.
Winkie – 8overs – 1 maiden – 32 runs –
1 wicket
Goff – 4-0-16-0
Will – 3-0-27-0
Steveo – 5-0-41-1
Shakey – 8-0-46-1
Paul – 8-1-30-3
Tesh – 2-0-11-1
Ed – 2-0-12-0
Tesh and Britpop started us off, and though it seemed that
Darren hardly faced a ball, the first wicket to fall was Tesh’s
bowled for 27 with the score on 32 off 4.2 overs. A very bright
start. Cheese joined Britpop briefly before Darren was adjudged
lbw by the umpire. I’m not sure if this was a mercy
killing as Darren left the field having scored 1. Goff joined
up with Ed and the pair continued to build the innings. The
third wicket fell in the 16th over with the score on 71 –
Ed being caught for 25. Richie joined Goff. New bowler N Lewis
came into the attack. Goff bagged a boundary off Lewis’
2nd ball, but fell the next caught for 11 with the total score
on 82-4 off 16.3overs.
Now, I’m not sure of the reason, perhaps it was the
weather, perhaps it was the calling of the pub/kebab house,
but the infamous Cazh collapse had just begun. Richie fell
next ball (2) caught. Steveo fell a couple of balls later
also caught (3); The Stephens twins in together, Shakey lasted
5 balls caught 1; Paul did rather better lasting 13 balls
before also caught (6); Winkie and Will lasted 4 balls in
total one caught, one bowled, both 0, leaving Ash no on 2.
N Lewis finished with 4 for 7 off 3; and either his brother
or dad with 2-1 off 2. The Cazh slumped to 98ao off 24 overs.
Tesh – 27 bowled
Darren – 1 lbw
Ed – 25 ct
Goff – 11 ct
Richie – 2 ct
Steveo – 3 ct
Mark – 1 ct
Paul – 6 ct
Andy – 0 ct
Will – 0 ct
Ash – 2 no
One to forget, or to learn from…though one memoriable
discussion of the pitch was how many rude words the team could
think of to describe female genitalia - the result - more
than runs the team could score....
