Fast forward to Round 8. This time Ben Burrows (U14s) made his Seniors debut playing under Ian Digby (D1 Red Skipper). So...7 years apart and within a couple of weeks of the same time of the year, we had the sons of our C2 & D1 Captains playing under Teams captained by their fathers.
Yesterday
We have had some great songs written by our Club Members with none better that Bryce Morley (2002/03 to 2012/13) who had a classic about his B2 side that lost every game in the season despite scoring over 300 on 3 occasions.
Now we can go one better. Eric Junkkari (B1 Blue), and one of our greatest ever players (490 wickets & 5,800 runs) has written a song about one of his Team mates – Tanay Hiray. The song is sung to the music of The Beatles, ‘Yesterday’. What a great excuse to give a lead in to this song with the original by The Beatles from 1966–

As background, the B2 boys copped a hammering in Round 11 Vs Kenthurst with one player scoring 261 out of a total of 7/383 in 58 overs! All the bowlers went for big runs with Tanay also going big – 15 overs 2/83 (2 maidens).
YES-TANAY
Yes-Tanay You’re our best bowler far and away Just grab that ball and blow them away Oh we believe, in our Tanay
Then suddenly
He’s not half the man we thought he’d be The ball now lives out near the boundary From Hero to Hira, came mortality
Why’d Rob take him off, I don’t know, he wouldn’t say He was just a little off, but we believe, in our Tanay
Yes-Tanay
Cricket was such an easy game to play It gets harder as you move up the grades But we still believe, in our Tanay
Yes-Tanay One, two, three wickets come quickly This could be the collapse of the century Our man is back, that’s our Tanay
Yes-Tanay You’re bowling is what the opposition fear
They walk on happy, but plod off in tears You’re the best, our Tanay
You’re our Tanay
