No Brewers Droop

Blackheath Select away 23rd May 09  WON

11 players yet again , what can i say things get better and better, automatic win of coin again as Select had no umpire.

Deciding to bowl first, Butler(5-4-3-0) and Dorstop(7-1-21-0) contained the the opening batsmen for the first 10 overs with accurate bowling, stand in skipper Buss decided that a wicket or 2 was needed so a change in the attack was needed (also the fact that he wasn’t to sure how the rest of the team would bowl, thus forcing a change in reality). A stroke of genius in hind sight , firstly Meredith(8-1-26-3)  fresh from school, was tossed the ball, Klunky Kluznic standing a fair distance behind the stumps took ready to recieve the first delivery, baring in mind our Harry is only 15 sent down an exorcet that shook the batsmen as if Brett Lee had bowled it himself, clipping the shoulder of the bat and landing 35 meters behind the slips, Klunky looked at Brewer and decided that they may be too close so stepped back 10 metres. Buss (7.3-3-11-5) bowled from the other end had immediate impact 1st ball then again 2 balls later, what a great start. With eyes glowing red and a snarling grin Meredith started his second over, stumps were sent flying , boy this kid is quick sorry not quick but bloody quick, i have to say he’s probably the quickest 15 yr old i’ve seen, Select battled, prodded and chanced their arm to amass a decent score but were containd well by all bowlers Davies (4-0-12-0) Harvey (7-0-19-1) and were eventually mopped up by J-cloth Busss , 98 all out. The wheels of Wrotham were well and truley in motion.

Tea hhmmmm nice

Deciding to juggle the batting order Buss almost sank in the ground as the wheels started to disintigrate, Brewer (54 no) watched in amazment as Fennings and Dorstop came and went rather to quickly Bryce (19) Buss (10) added resistance but we were in deep do do 63-7 . Enter the dragon ( Davies 9) stood firm adding 26 with Brewer nearly saw us home but a fateful second run saw Davies cruelly run out by square leg Fennings ( uncle Rob at that) 89-8 oh dear … Harvey(2no) strapped on his pads, donned his cap  and with bat under arm trudged to the crease,  with exchange of words mumbling to Brewer no quick singles he stroked the ball through the covers for a single .. no, Brewer had other ideas, 2 was the shout and gazzelle like Brewer was up and running, Harvey not looking to impressed launched himself into the second run, cheers and laughter could be heard around the ground as the steely eyed Harvey glared back at Brewer. Brewster Brewer saw us over the line with 15 overs spare No Brewers Droop. Pick of Select’s bowlers was Shah (7-1-42-7)

Mom

Steve Brewer for holding a rocky ship scoring 54 no

And no Nick thats not your bat

Moment of the match

Well there wasnt just one in particular , Harry’s first ball was a gem as was the sight of his 3 wickets flattening the stumps each time. Buss’s throw inflicting a run out, Fennell would have been proud, with an under arm flick the ball would have missed by miles but great footwork from Klunky kicking the ball onto the stumps. Brewster and Harveys 2 was another, but for me young Sam Davies shot for 4 against the opening bowler, front foot firmly planted and driven along the ground back past the bowler, baring in mind the boundaries were big .

 

Great win Wardy’s back next week so at least he’s still undefeated

S Buss.
