Tears flowed Saturday night, but no one could find the cathedral...
The boys took the dirt road (no pun intended), to Kammy on the weekend, looking to consolidate a place in the top 4 for this week at least. With the top 3 to come in our last 4 games, it will be a run to the finals more exciting than drawing on a pissed bloke with a marker pen.
Dunko took and promptly lost the toss. Not an important one this week, but it's wearing a bit thin. Out we went with Master opening bowler Silverback Woolley coming up the hill to start. He would end up taking 4 for the day, which should have been 5, but for a slight error in judgement by the umpy on a caught behind. Being the batsman that it was, no one was surprised not to see him walk, but he was reminded of that an over later which he was slightly offended about. Walkers have a clean conscience..
in the field, the boys were impeccable. KT, riding high after a morning visit to the Beach and a ring he presented to Robin, grabbed everything that came thru in the air. Bobby grabbed both of his chances, Donnie bowled straight and fast, Motty went for far less runs than dunko normally does from one over. Dunko, bucking his form at training even took a catch in the gully, which was kept strong all game to support the really accurate bowling.
So, well before luch time, KT led the boys from the field with his match ball and his chest out, Bretto and Dunko already scheming to make the runs without loosing a wicket.
25 balls into his innings, Dunko was useless enough to get bowled around his legs, with Bretto seeing them big and large at the other end. Davo came on out and made a fairly swift 12 before calling a quick single to fine leg and was run out by a direct hit that bounced twice. Most agreed that he was the only one in the team who wouldn't have made the run at a canter...
In the end, it was Bretto's day with the bat. He made up for his opening partner by hitting his first 50 for the year and did it pretty well too!
A big up for Pez and Kevo who made the trip down from Canberra to make sure we played with a full team. Thanks a lot boys- you've stepped in at some really importnant times this year and never let us down.
A fond farewell to latter season batting hero Jimmy G (see headline pic) , who will start work at Canberra's answer to PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Won't be long before the man is running the show no doubt.
Speaking of leavers, Maz took leave to Canberra for the weekend. Be good to have hime back next week, but that didn't stop most of the boys making fun of what he might be up to on Saturday...
Eden next week. We have the top three to play in the last 4 games, so we couldn't ask for better conditioning if we make the finals series. They knocked over Merimbula on the weekend, and Tathra lost, so a little bit of breathing space for a game. Beating Eden would work a treat!
I'll add the table when it's released later today..
Go Bemboka!
