the iron cordon stood fast yet again on the weekend... Editors note: Sorry for the delays in updating the blog- Bemboka Home Improvements desperately trying to clear the backlog of work currently...
It was business as usual on the weekend- Dunko winning the toss, one 50 meaning we had the game wrapped up, our chuckers throwing them down as accurately as A jamie glen tax return and a fine display in the field. 6 in a row now. Hot to trot baby!
It was Maz and Dunko who trotted out to take on the Whyndam throwing attack, and take them on they did. At 69 ( what a great number to joke about), Dunko tickled one behind from their tweaker and walked. At this stage Maz had done the bulk of the scoring, sitting pretty on 15.
Davo came and went- Maz deciding he wanted to be the senior batsman by running him out after they shook hands mid pitch. Maz then had to go on to make enough runs for them both!
And make them he did! After bringing up his first 50 from 392 balls, he looked dangerously close to making it a ton when he opened his shoulders with 4 balls remaining in the innings. Despite pleas from Maz to bowl 15 more overs so he could get from 86 to 100, Whyndam politely declined and 86 no was to be the big man's coup de grace with the bat (for now).
A few of the boys threw some quick scores in the teens (no joke there) and topped the score up to 220. About 93 too many as it turned out...
Bemboka's very own hairy gorilla and Donnie 'pie chucker' Canby took the new pill and with woolley swearing his way though his spell at knob's not being able to put an edge on his hand grenades, and donnie throwing his wry grins down the pitch as he scared the pants off the Whyndam top order..
Motty came on throwing his tight line down before the 'Two Skippies' Kenty and Dunko came on for their fun. Both had Hat Trick Opportunities this week- at this rate there will be 3 bowlers on Hat Trick balls this week in the semi. Unfortunately both lads missed out- not for want of a mighty shout from Dunko (not backed up by his teammates), for an LB that was going over. The old Medium paced leggie almost coming up with the goods:)
The boys again were as one in the field, looking like the Tulgeen Work Crew (now known as Bemboka Home Improvements), but playing like cricketing demons. Mr Helpful, Dave Allen was exposed after the match as having a leather fetish- Bronnie refuses to dress up like Cher, so Davo gets his kicks by fielding and getting his hands on the little red gold nugget at every opportunity. We'll miss him this week, but he'll be there filing a report for Today Tonight and Anna Curen exposing chuckers in the FSCCA B Grade competition. Probably be dressed in camo with a massive zoom lense camera hiding in the whyndam scrub...
In the end, the game finished at 8.45 after we chucked 32 overs down. An early finish really.
All gets serious proper this week- we meet at 11 at the pub to head for the bush and do the job on Whyndam again and give ourselves the best chance of playing on the newly renovated Bemboka CC turf! Bit of pressure on the boys returning from the big city- and Pez who has pushed Davo out this week with his great performances.
Go Bemboka!
