Quanborough for big Ray Khamis to outlast Matt Schwartzel in the opening partnership for the first time ever at whopping odds of 1-292729229261718 (Source ICC Ross Anderson and the ICC).
Mathew was reportedly seen getting out of his Ferrari California arriving to kick-ons wearing a brand new gold rolex submariner. More on that to follow.
With a whopping 215 to chase, 1/16 was not a very good way to get things going. Enter club legend and resident big fella Ray ‘big fella’ Khamis. Ray went into absolute beast mode despatching their opening for 1/67 off his 8 overs. Ray knuckled down despatching the bad balls and blocking the good balls to bring up the fastest 50 odd (37) in B grade grand final history (source Ross Anderson).
The vibes were momentarily up before being way, way down after Ray and Keats gave their wickets away after getting very good starts. This left us with an absolute mountain to climb at 4/87. Cameron ‘Jane’s son Bishy’ Bish then got to rebuilding but missed a straight one to leave us 5/100.
Whilst all this carnage was taking place Nicholas ‘Dickolas’ Duck was building the innings of a lifetime. Nick got dropped and went on to fully capitalise with one of the greatest innings in B grade grand final history (source Ross Anderson).
Dickolas has been one of our most consistent batsmen for 2 seasons straight so it was fitting that he stood up in the big Daaaaaansee (Source Adam Van Saarlooser) to set up the game for us. When Dickolas departed at 6/140 odd we were much, much more hopeful however the game was still well and truly in the balance.
Enter Warren ‘ice in his South African veins’ Schwartzel.
Warren absorbed the pressure like a Shamwow absorbs a puddle of water. From this point on we never looked like losing. Warren and his seed Daniel ‘pastor’ Schwartzel took the game by the balls and won it. We chased the 215 with 20 overs to spare. Absolutely pissed it in!!!
This makes us back to back premiers in 2 different grades. We look forward to going 3 in a row next season.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our excellent supporters who created the atmosphere at the home of cricket. A special, special shout out to all the WAGS who hung around in the disgusting heat to support their boys and give them the love and support needed to win a grand final, special mention to the following:
