On a stunning summers evening in June, eleven magnificent athletes
gathered to commence battle. Match manager Glenno didn't gather the
troops and declare "on my signal, unleash hell (ya bast@rds)" and
instead handed captains duties over to Markus Robbosus. This fine
specimen of a leader lost the toss and declared "we shall bat and we
shall slay these pommy carnts."

Fearless leader Robbosus sent his two major weapons, Winnerelius
Seniorus and Paggersus into commence battle. Paggersus, in particular
was looking more of a massive weapon than his partner. Winnerelius was
definitely in the mode to slay and hit three consecutive boundaries
off the first over. You could hear the collective sigh of relief on
the boundary as another all time low milestone was on course to be
avoided.

Paggersus is known to be a keen umpire and couldn't wait to dispense
with the bat and don the white coat. Winnerlius compiled an impressive
innings before holing out. Caesar-RS decided against building an
empire this day and left without troubling the scorer. Glennis Maximus
was definitely more Minimus and also failed to do much with his wood.
Sheepshaggersus on the other hand was having a good day and the big
Welshman retired after a fine innings and at least five to ten runs
left behind because he couldn't be bothered to pull his hoop back for
a second run.

Marcos Tembrilius noticed a few ladies on the boundary and went into
dashing mode and was joined by a purposeful Robbosus to put together a
fine partnership with plenty of boundaries. A fine six by Robbosus a
highlight.

Churchius adding a few at the end to close off the innings on what
felt ten to twenty runs short of a difficult total to chase but no
heads needed to roll against a decent bowling team.

Glennis Minimus and WG opened the bowling to a very handy opening
pair. WG took the opening wicket to a catch by the former.

There wasn't really a hell of a lot to write home about in terms of
the bowling effort. They crept towards the target like Sheepshaggersus
tiptoeing up to his woolly prey. Pontus Pointer deserves a mention for
putting on a couple of decent overs and troubled their opening bat,
Frazer also doing well.

With about six overs to go Glennis Minimus twanged his hammy running
to stop a boundary and Robbosus promptly went and tugged off Paggersus
as WK. Marcos Tembrilius made an easy oppo victory seem a little less
assured taking a cracking catch to the applause of a raucous following
on the boundary ropes.

It would have been a closer finish had we not let a few boundaries fly
past us in the field, but writing this having just seen Eriksen
collapse, it is just a farkin game after all. In true saddoes spirit,
the convivial atmosphere with the additional drop ins and some great
food delivered by Manny (a part time sad) meant the beers and the
laughs flowed.
