Broadstairs Match Report

match report

After our best display of the season in our previous game (minus the 13 drop catches), the Heath turned up to PVR with two enforces changes. D.C. in his attempt to play for all five league teams before Sam perfects his knuckle ball & Billy after he refused to bowl for the 3s the week before.

As Johno yet again turned up late (like his match report), Michael won the toss and decided the pitch suited bowling first. This was rewarded immediately with Harold picking up two wicket in no time. After this impressive start, the wheels fell off with H testing out his revolutionary “leg side theory” on his way to a eye watering 25 wides in his opening spell. Spud, D.C. & Bill kept the us in the hunt with some tight bowling, whilst Ali took much needed wickets during the middle overs.

A calamitous few minutes followed with Dale dropping two dolly Parton’s, and Sam’s nemesis from last season http://bexleyheath.play-cricket.com/website/results/2910522 - please reference Samuel’s figures for additional humour) continuing where he left off - the Heath were set a competitive 209 to win.

After some teatime humour including Michael attempting to work the new projector, and Billy stating that he aspires to be the next Dom Bezz, we set about our chase in confident fashion. However, 12 overs in and soon 37-3 our hopes seemed Dead and Gone ft. Justin Timberlake - just like Lee Bowyer, Harry Hill & Deco.

Some inspired batting from Ali, along with Dale refusing to walk brought us back into contention resulted in us requiring less than a run a ball going into the final 5 overs. With Spud striding to the crease, resurrected after cramp - Malcom held his breathe as “the finisher” entered the fray. Alas it was not to be, 2 slog sweeps later we were all out, 10 runs short of what would have been a remarkable chase.
