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!!!!!
