2xi vs Addiscombe xi (a) - Match Report by Fudgey

HWRCC won toss and elected to bat... [Which means the skipper won a toss - Ed]
HWRCC 167/8 (40 overs)
High 46, Wright 31, Goulborn 20+
ADDISCOMBE
140/6 (40 overs)
Donnelley 2 for 25, Smith 1 for 20, Cameron 1 for 25, Soppitt 2 for 40 WON BY 27 RUNS

The Wick innings opened brightly with the skipper middling everything to make a run a ball seven before some late season calling at this early season juncture caused chaos as opening partner Goldenslumber was having 40 winks on his bat at the non-strikers end and stitched the skipper up like a kipper.

Golden played straight and failed to get the trademark cut going - an indication of early season caution or was it trying to atone for the run out mix up. Wrighty looked as Wrighty always does... You can never tell when he is in or out of form. It just keeps on geting off the square. Reports from the middle suggested that fatherhood had detracted from his match fitness, blowing as he was like a blue whale as early as the 20! Charlie hit a few lusty blows... however was dropped twice and had more Chinese cuts than Mackie working at Teddington Cheese on a busy Saturday. Leggsy ensured the tail wagged with 19 from not many.

The Wick bowled very well... full and straight!!! Unusual at this time of the season. Smithy bowled well.. more economical than Alastair Darling's budget! Donnelley picked up where he left off at the end of last season... little bit of seam, found the edge, Mackie gobbled it from behind the sticks. Leggsy replaced him and first ball kissed the outside edge too... Mackie doubled up. JimmyC bowled well although must eradicate that April four ball... He also took a superb C&B [We all heard about that one in the office - Ed] Delboy too wen through his full repertoire of Turkish, long hop, full bunger, big turn... nothing changes (Allways the same in Wick argot)!!

Fielded great... Sayce/MB superb... good gobbles from JC/TD/AW!!

MOM - LEGGSY

19 runs
1/25 (8 overs)
