Cracking win for the Cavs last sunday seeing off a competitive
Boxmoor side.
The day started with niggle at the toss. With only 6 Cavs
in attendance at 1.45pm i asked their skipper wether we
could bat first whilst waiting for the other cavs to show
up (BCR on the motorway and Firms up at Woolams (the latter
choosing the wrong location after being delivered the promise
of something special by his young lady friend 15mins before
the off!!!!)).
Down the came the coin the wrong side of my call and the
home skipper duly decided to bat himself! Cnut! Therefore
with 6 cavs and 2 Boxmoor colts we clobbered from the nets
we set off. No sooner had the opening bowlers of Hat and
LBC bowled 7 overs between them we had them 40 for 6 with
LBC finally finsihig with figures of 6-2-12-4. I decided
to take LBC and Hat off as we would have bowled them out
for 75. Anyway we threw up a few overs of spin and eased
them up to a respectable 140 all out. The niggle at tea
was evident as the opps skipper asked me not to bowl his
demon indian colt who spins the ball about 6 feet with a
very unorthadox action. I duly gave him an over in which
he removed his pakistani nemises with a leggy which decived
all of us.
Tea was rather uniteresting with ham and cheese baps and
a few lemon tarts. No home made cake JB!
Elbo opened up with one of the Boxmoor colts and was very
watchful early on. The win however was never in doubt and
Ellis batted through 35 overs for a chanceless 40. Bainsey
finding his form now with his 4th straight 50 was caught
for 51. Greggsy hit a 2 ball 8 in true fashion and it was
left for me and Hat to see it home.
MOM - LBC for his unplayable spell albeit he did take out
the Boxmoor 11 year old with an Aussie rules slide tackle
whilst dropping a catch!
Not sure if Frase has another fixture planned but i get
the feeling thats the season done.
Thoughts now turn to the End of season do. After much deliberation
the team who played sunday decided that rather than going
for a meal why not have a good old fashioned '6 bells at
6' beer crawl in St Albans. Then ruby if anyone fancies
it. Im sure we will get some dates out soon but middle /
end of October has been mooted.
