Ditton's over rate - Keyboard Warriors

Long Ditton accuse HWRCC of sour grapes on Play Cricket after not being able to dismiss their 2s in 48 overs. Wickman begs to differ. The game kicked off at 1.30pm on Saturday and Ditton were behind the rate by 2 overs an hour from the off. Ditton's openers weren't particularly prompt after the interval either. No one expects a team bowling first to give themselves extra overs to bat through. We're not naive. Oh no. What got Wickman's goat (tied it up and rodgered it) was that Wickman needed to be home by 9pm. By the time the game ended and he was showered, coiffured and appropriately fragranced, there was only time to Gregory a couple of warm pints of Nipples' and Doc's jugs and then to brave the drive and head off. The Wick's a dangerous place when the Sun goes down - it's almost as if The Lost Boys was based on it. Before you know it you'll be up all night and rushing home to beat the dawn. So your lamentable over rate was lamented for reasons you failed to understand boys. We should have fired you out in 48 overs. See the match report. But what's unforgivable is the lost drinking time...
