Just a quick message to say well done to the 1st XI players who helped gain a promotional spot in Division 3.

We could have won the division if it was not for another team pulling out before playing the top of the division side!

Saturdays game was another destruction by the Welford fielding side reducing Warfield to 93-10 in 30 overs with Nick Piggott (Welford Keeper) being their top scorer with 22 byes!! But we'll let him off as teas (taking half way through our innings) were spot on.

We then score the required amount in 20.1 overs with John Westbrook scoring another half century to bring his League run aggregate to 289 and putting on a combined partnership of 85 with his brother Spike, Herro and Will. Will, who joins John (and Bala) with the most amount of Ducks in a Season after playing a defensive shot about the line of the ball - doesn't he know that there is no bounce at Welford!! With new boys Praneet and Pratheesh seeing off the remaining 6 runs with ease. It was then straight down to the Rising Sun for jugs ahoy (an not just because the skippers wife was there!!).

So another League Season is over and all I can wait for is indoor nets to start, mainly to get away from Nappies and early mornings!!

Thanks again to all who have played this season and made it as successful as it was (11 wins, 1 Draw and 2 losses) especially to the guys who have joined the club this season. (The 3 P's - Praneet, Pratheesh, Pradeep (welcome back), and not forgetting Dipin).

The League awards night is on the 21st October, please let me know if you are wanting to attend.

Thanks

Slothy

Well he certainly wasn’t born with it.

Nor would it be fair to say he had it thrust upon him by the opposition mid-on. The Indian Jedward missed easier catches than that one. This is not going to be easy team.  Grit your  teeth  now. Say it slowly:  “Suvo has achieved greatness.”
 
Anyway the build up to the game starts with Jurgo coming out of wicket keeping retirement on account of the fact that no one else wants to do it (except Abs).  Most of the team having managed to arrive at the correct ground, Nobby George commences by peppering the batsmen with some rising deliveries and a near caught and bowled falls just short. Mikey soon starts to find a good line and length but there’s no early wicket so a change of tactics sees Nobby find the edge and Curly, equal to every other twos slip fielder in 2011, put it down. Never mind. Curly’s bowling is top class, swinging it and cutting it like an off break.  He eventually finishes with four including two in his last two balls leaving him burying a hat-trick opportunity next to his nuts for the winter. 

Pawan and Abs put down twin dolly catches at mid off and mid on respectively. Following his Edward scissor hands demonstration Pawan starts digging a hole in the outfield to hide in. Warranted, but his teammates would prefer him to run out the batsman who is still mid track stunned by the  incompetence.  Far too late Pawan responds and his wide hurl presents the two overthrows the batsman requires for his half century. More hole digging. 

There’s a wicket apiece for Nobby, Abs and Mikey but Sulhamstead’s 256-7 is an interesting challenge.

Unperturbed by the Indian Jedward, on punishment duty as umpires and practicing wild west style trigger-finger draws, Brook and Datta commence in the necessary positive fashion, 22 coming off the second over and 59 off the first ten. Game on! By drinks Abs and Pawan have got bored. It’s a record opening stand of 105 before Brooksie is bowled for 24 and Suvo, already well past 50 and now joined by Libin, continues to press on.
At one stage the rate required tops seven an over. By the time Suvo reaches his hundred in the 30th it’s back down to 6.69. He actually walks to a caught behind appeal, deciding that he’s tired now so someone else can have a bat. 180-2. The rate falls below 6.5 off 12. Manoj comes and goes but there’s plenty of big hitters in the team and next up is Bala. It’s down to five an over off 8 and suddenly what looked at tense finish now seems easy as Libin (72*) brings Park to the target in giant hits. It’s Park by seven wickets!

Sporting Revenge against Green!

PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jurgo    Monday, 05 September 2011 22:03

Park are out for revenge having lost the first 2011 battle of Frimley Green by just one wicket. 

Jurgo comes out of wicket keeping retirement (for the 2nd day in a row) with a fine performance, repeatedly diving down leg side like an eighteen year old and looks like he’s never been away. Cale continues where he left off on Saturday moving the ball in the air and off the pitch and is disgusted when bowler, keeper, standing umpire and Suvo all believe the batsman has edged it yet, despite three such reliable witnesses, skipper Herro calls him back. - What a good sport. Carter takes the edge but Shrek catches nothing but twos fever at slip as he seems to have it with his hands and then his wrists before it rolls off his midriff in an incident described by Brooskie as “a close one” and the Frimley openers pile on the century partnership. (Nice one Herro!)

After decent spells from Skinny and Girish the Herrington's bowl in tandem. Shrek pitches one up for a change and is fortunate that this time the edge is into the safe hands of the keeper. Herrington senior knocks a couple more over and sharp fielding from Carter runs out another. With wickets in hand Frimley start swinging and, having looked set to take a great catch off a skier, Cale typifies his fun day in the field by being poleaxed, Bayliss also sprinting towards it from the other direction. So the Frimley opener is still there and needs removing. Glory for Brooksie then.  His fiftieth career catch as the ball dollies up to him at gully shows up the Indian Jedward for the imbeciles that they are. A generous Herro final over leaves Park to get 201 in 40 overs and 10 wickets. Or to put it another way, with a class early middle order that includes Baylis, Herro and Shrek,  a net 198 in a net 39 overs and 7 wickets.  That  was later though.
 
The opening partnership of Datta and Brook start how they left off on Saturday with Datta scoring freely and Brook also on the field. With the score on 54-0 after 17 overs a relayed instruction that “Herro says to wind it up” is met with the reply “I am winding him up.” Detention for Brooksie! A score of 70-1 at drinks quickly slumps: Brooksie 32, then Baylis, Shrek and Herro all for a single see's the score on 108-5 with only 13 overs left. As for the rate, it’s a similar equation to the 2s on Saturday and soon topping eight an over. With Pawan and Dipin at the crease something will happen quickly though and this time the runs notch up. Fifty for Pawan before he’s out and Girish, joining his friend Dipin, plays in similar style. Boundaries aplenty and just like Saturday it ends up easier than expected. It’s Park by 4 wickets! Well done Dipin (35) and Girish (21)! 
 

ODE TO CURLY

Here’s a little song I wrote.  You might want to sing it note for note.  "Don’t worry, Be happy" 
 

When you make the ball cut and swing

But the batsman still stay in

Don’t worry
 
Be happy
 

You bowl eight overs, straight, flat out

But your wicket column still says now’t
 
Don’t worry
 
Be happy
 

And when your wicket keeper take good catch

And then the captain call the batsman back
 
Don’t worry -(Even though you want to say rude words)

Be happy

 

He make you field in the deep

But you just want to go to sleep
 
Don’t worry
 
Be happy
 

 

When the batsman hit it high in air

And you sprinting to try and get there
 
Don’t worry
 
Be Happy
 
 

Then when Alan hit you like a truck

Bleed your lip and knock you to ****
 
Don’t worry - (You still got some teeth left)
 
Be happy  - (Where the ball end up?)
 

 

You see cricket it like a game of chess

It end up with mates and a pint of best
 
Don’t worry - (You might win at killer)
 
Be happy - (Oh no, you is dead now {in killer})
 
Don’t worry, be happy!!!!!
 

 

 

Back to Winning Ways

Written by Matt Galbraith    Tuesday, 02 August 2011 00:00

After Parks winning streak on Sundays came halt last week against Challow, Welford soon got back to winning ways with an emphatic win over Harwell. The day started well as the Skipper won only his 4th toss of the season, and decided to have a Bat. With some late drop out's ( no surprises one was George Thornton for the 3rd week running, least i turn up when still pissed!) the Skippers batting line up had to be changed drastically. So being forced to open the batting Galbraith and Brooks made up the opening stand which lasted a tad longer than the week before, but again Galbraith went early after being clean bowled after some shoddy footwork for 13. This wasn't all bad as we soon found out. In came Shrek who batted superbly well with brooks putting on a 133 partnership. This came to an end when Brookes was bowled off a dubious ball... Was it over waist height? The two umpires (Galbraith and W. Thornton) looked blankly at each other before Galbraith raised the finger with Brookes walking on 44. Welford's latest recruit Louis came to the crease, With Young Herrington searching for his 'first non-fiddled' ton. On 98 Will hit a straight drive down the ground which looked to be an easy 1 but risky 2, but Will knowing he was running to the non-danger end, waddled back for the two needed for his ton, not even considering the safely of his team mate who was scampering back like Billy Wizz to save his own ass. Thankfully due to a bad throw Louis just made his ground and saved Shrek's blushes. Will soon got himself out 106 when he tried to hit a big heave-ho and was clean bowled. A couple of the lads thought Will's mum should be punished for missing his maiden (non-tipex) ton by telling her he got out on 99 her face was a picture. Will then quite happily joined in on the act.... until he slipped in "I should have got a 150 against those £$%7 bowlers, 106 just isn't good enough" (head growing even bigger) and it took Denise a few seconds to click before going in to a joyful slapping frenzy. Park continued to pile on the runs with Sharif getting 22 and others joining in with bits and bobs. Park ended there 40 overs on 239-8.
 
After showing Harwell how to do tea's properly (well done to the Herringtons) the Park promptly took to the field. After the Skipper told the opening bowlers of his wish of having the game over within 25 overs, Harwell's inning's started in a circus style fashion. James opened from the bottom end, with the 1st ball straying down leg, the batsman tried flicking it of his legs only to glove it in the air which dropped safely in to a gap and with most of the Park players watching the calamity of the batsman.... both batsman in the same crease... now something isn't right here... Herro (who else could it be) happily under armed it to James and he took off the bails. Not only had the Batsman been run out in his first bat for 9 weeks without facing a ball, he was then forced to run for the incoming batsman, poor man. Park then started picking up wickets on a regular basis. Barrett picking up another soon after, when the batsman drove the ball straight to mid-off. Galbraith then took some brave pills and put on the fielding pads and helmet... just before the first ball was bowled with Galbraith standing within peeing distance of the bat he remember he hadn't got his box in. (Editor - what he would need it for is anyone's guess!) James then picked up another wicket by clean bowling Harwell's number 3. As that wicket fell Galbraith bolted off to get his box in, and was soon back in to that silly place. Curley Cale soon got in on the wicket taking action and cleaned bowled another one of the visitors batsman... "explitive1 + explitive2 pitch" being his reply, yes sure it was after we posted 239 on it. Harwell then had a big hitter come in who had is little bit of fun punishing the bowlers and putting them all over the Park, and also nearly killing that stupid man in that silly position. Will Thornton then joined the attack picking up a neat 3-fer, which also started with a run-out, Will bowled it down to the opposing captain who edged it down to third man, and the silly fella thought he could get 2, not when Sharif is about. With his bullet arm throw straight to tom's gloves (for a split second thought it was Spike who had thrown it in) who duly took the bails off. Before Herro clean bowled the ******* who nearly killed me. Harwell were on their last legs when again Herro clean bowled the number 11. Harwell had been bowled for 93 within 22 overs. A Comfortable 156 run win.
 
Blue stripe this week was award by Jurgo (again). It was a very lame effort of giving it out I must say, but the can was giving to the youngest Herrington for back chatting to the skipper.
