T20 Grand Finals : 1st Grade
WPHC (Cam #25) 5/135 defeated Normanhurst-Warrawee 9/121
With Lichaa STILL attending lavish weddings, I’m sorry but this won’t be to the readers traditional
standards. Also, I haven’t seen the scorebook and in hindsight, never actually asked scores.
We won the toss on a green deck and elected to set the target, in we sent the golden girls in Phil “Blanche” Wurth and James “Rose” Makin. In textbook Wu fashion, he made an impact immediately hitting 2 fours and then miss hitting one that was probably there to hit. Only 192 short of his promised 200. Harry Hando then joined Jamaican and showed off his clean hitting, leaving us around 40odd from the power play.
Normo bowled very well and had a good field set through the middle making scoring very tough but Jamaican played a perfect role for us, even clearing the pickets of Normanhurst oval twice before eventually being out for probably 40odd.
Shaan, Assman (BBBs), and Billy Gaunt playing a nice attacking role in the final 7ish overs, with Shaan showing off all his tricks with a six to finish the innings 135. If I were to hazard a guess I would say Shaan probably 35ish, then 15ish to the other two but I also was quite distracted by Phil begging Ross for the MC job back.
“Mate, the bloody Menendez brothers are getting out of prison this week and they killed both their parents!!”
We knew off the top with the ball was key with their two best bats opening up, after going for 3 fours in a row, Jack Hando snicked off their number 1. Great start.
Next over, Harry Hando bowled a HOOPING inswinger to the other opener who has a broken foot and bowled him. Very funny.
After that we played everything just about as perfectly as possible. Tom Hando, Ben Burrows and Todd Hutch halted the scoring, allowing the perfect window for Andrew Meikle to enter, and enter he did.
