James Woolford returned his
best bowling figures since taking up bowling in the
winter with a tremendous return of 5 for 32. Recovering
from a horrendous hangover following his 13 pints the
day before Woolford struggled early on but once he had
sweated out a few stellas he was at his celestial best
mixing pace with slower leg spinners in a similar way
that he had mixed lager and whisky the previous evening.
Indeed Waltham were well organised in the field skippered
by the inventive Chris Burge and in spite of 3 dropped
catches by Connor and a surprise stunning catch from
Kiani who had decided against wearing his lovely pink
half length trousers from Saturday, Waltham restricted
Binfield to just under 200 with Philp picking up 2 wickets
in consecutive balls.
On the batting front Waltham
looked solid up front with Connor and Kiani opening
up well until both fell when they had just got their
eye in. Raj then came in a played a gem of an innings.
With his wristy strokeplay and powerful hitting he had
Binfield in trouble especially with Atkins at the other
end but as his knock came to an end for a well made
45 the innings disintegrated as Waltham were bowled
out for a poor 128. Fans are reminded to check the duck gallery to find out the new additions
this week to the gallery of shame. |
