Denham 1st XI v Coleshill 1st XI

June 24th 2006

James Nicholas's Report

Coleshill won the toss and elected to bat. After seeing off the new ball on a pitch with uneven bounce early on, Spencer scored 90 and helped Coleshill to a formidable 259/6. Shaikh was the pick of the Denham bowlers with 3/63.

In reply, Khan scored a quick 52, but Denham lost wickets steadily with Stay taking 4/32. Only Russell Bowry, with a superb 102 n.o could take advantage of the Coleshill bowling and it was left to him and Mahmood 22 n.o to see out the draw with the score on 226/8.

Denham 8 pts, Coleshill 14 pts

Next game Away at Englefield.

Sunday 25th June

Russell Bowry 's Report

I can't really remember much about Sunday's game so I'll just consult the scorebook, which has been excellently filled in by none other than Fabulous Phil Ashworth may I say.

It says that Denham batted first, scored 213 for 9 0ff 40 overs and then bowled out for St John's Wood for 177. This means Denham won by 36 runs. It also says that Faisal Mahmood scored 59 runs and took 4 wickets, so I would guess this means he was man-of-the-match.

But to be honest I don't really trust he scorebook. It says Bitchie Raithwaite got a duck, which must be a lie, given the quality of the player. So given the uncertainty I am now placed in I would say that Bitchie Raithwaite was probably man-of-the-match, but you may like to ask someone who played to confirm this (and preferably one that didn't smoke one of Bobby's giant cigarettes).

But wait! Hold your horses! Things are coming back to me now. I can see a rather bucolic scene. A left-hander harvesting with a scythe? No. Crikey, now I remember. Sir Stuart Payne, mullering one acroos the line and over the clubhouse for six! No, surely it must be a dream. I don't believe it. And what's this? An Indian Elephant rearing up and scaring away potential poachers. What does it mean? Could it be Harish standing his ground and running out a youthful member of the side keen on taking his place in the side? I just don't know.

What now? Now I'm really worried about myself and I'm not so sure I should share this, but I have visions of unflushable turds floating around the toilet bowl. I keep flushing but they're still there. I'm sure it means nothing. But wait, could it be…. Could it be the England football team? They're still there now. Go away, go away, GO AWAY!!!!
