Jags 93-8 (Meldal 35*, Mann 8, Hill 2-9) lost to Cambridge University Press (Day 30*, Xavier 29*, Brett 1-25) by 5 Wickets
MOTM - Meldal
This was one of those early season games where the light is bad, the pitch is bad, and we're generally just becoming re-acquainted with our gear and what the rules are. I wasn't there, so all I can do is share the text messages I got of note from the live chat What's App conversation of the fixture, which tells a story more than any prose of mine ever could.
It's a shield, but they put us to the sword
Sawyer: 18:05 We're 5-2 off 2 - the ball doesn't bounce
Parrish: 18:07 3 down so far, 2 pee rollers, all bowled. CASS pitch a disaster
Parrish: 18:35 62-4 from 8. Freddie saving the innings.
Sawyer: 18:52 Got about 90ish
Was lovely to watch
Philips Graceful
Sabin Mr Late Cut
Mann, Stunning Cricketing Shots
Freddie up to his old tricks
Sawyer: 19:02 Cos, what do we say about the man, the myth, the legend
Started off with a wicket
Stirling's finest with a beautiful action
Anderson esque
Sawyer: 19:13 Liam next over starts with a full toss
Cossie saves by throwing over the boundary
Liam then bowls a ball that is so good the umpire laughs
before it gets to short leg
Sawyer: 19:20 Great catch over the shoulder from Dan
Sawyer: 19:30 A no ball so high it was served for 4, class bowling Phillips
Sawyer: 19:40 FREDDIE WICKET
LBW
LOVELY
Sawyer: 19:42 Batsman nails it to short cover.
Neville Southall dive from Strachan
Pushes it back to Freddie
Who handbags it to the right of sleight of hands Parrish
And there you have it - mainly from the mind and phone of Sawyer.
What I took from this was:
- CASS Pitch is Rubbish
- Freddie retains class in difficult conditions
- Banter is alive and well
- I can literally visualise the Phillips over head height no ball without needing to be there.
- Dan made a good catch.
- Everyone had a fun evening.
Also the scorebook has Coslett on 2 from 17 balls. Steve Mann also got run out, probably by Freddie.
