DENHAM
ENJOY SUCCESS AGAINST CHESHAM BOIS
As
a result of recent criticism about the fantasy nature of Russell Bowry’s reports,
he has been sacked and there follows an accurate report of Denham’s success
with one untruth to test you. See if you can spot it!
· Nominal
skipper Harish Bhatt was late as usual
· Heman
Mehta was unavailable due to a side strain attributed to his “elbow spin”
bowling action
· Bitchie Raithwaite
cried off during the week
No way Bitchy cried off!
· Chesham
won the toss and batted first, scoring 188 for 3 in their 40 overs
· Skipper
Withams carried his bat making 94 not out
· Denham
bowling was mainly accurate, especially Jack Grover whose 8 overs cost only
18 runs with one wicket, Bobby Rai whose 6 overs went for only 18, and skipper
James Nicholas whose 4 overs cost only 3 runs with one wicket
· Harish
took the other wicket despite some truly long “long hops”
· Bill
and Sheila provided a tasty tea, especially the jam scones with lashings of
cream
· Denham
knocked off the runs for the loss of only one wicket with a couple of overs
to spare
· James
top-scored with 113 not out, his third Sunday ton of the season
· New
Scottish batting sensation Hamish Zaheer reached his maiden 50 with the winning
boundary
· Both
captains therefore spent the whole game on the field of play
· James
bought some refreshing drinks for the players in the bar
· Hamish
showed his Scottish ancestry by leaving early, claiming no money, having topped
up his sandwich box for the Ramadan feast
· Hemen
Mehta was killed tragically when he ran to celebrate in front of Lewis Hamilton’s
car at Monza, causing Hamilton to spin off and lose the race.
