Cricket Chronically AUG 2007The FOUNDING FATHERS have blitzed the NICC B-Grade top of the table TWO MUGS and extended their streak to five wins in six matches finishing the season only barely out of the finals. After weeks of hammering top sides it seems nothing can stop the in form Founding Fathers.
The top four sides are thanking sweet fate that the Fabulous Fathers are just out of finals contention.
Last Nights Highlights: FF 153 TM 99
1. Conga (3 for none) blasted the stumps on two occasions (not unlike Roy);
2. Conga - 37 runs not out - including two huge 7's and a 5;
3. Conga - Man of the Match and Father of the Week;
4. Gladdy (3 for five), didn't give up any boundaries with the ball and scored no boundaries with the bat with a no fuss 24 not out.
5. Birthday Boy Nads 29 runs with the bat (but batting partner Norris has disputed the official umpire's document in a most serious case of dissention in the usually tight knit Fathers outfit);
6. Captain Hugo (2 for 5) and 23 runs in a demoralising 60 run final partnership with Conga;
7. Gilly 20 not out and Itchy (2 for 14) and 20 runs despite the loss of several (two) wickets (editors note: Itchy also took TWO catches, one of which was a screamer and the two wickets were both bullshit);
8. Norris (2 for 14) proving hard to hit with only 8 wides and no balls in his 16 deliveries;
9. Nad's insistent screamers to the keepers end when "Fats" was heading in that direction;
10. Sitter of the Match - Hard one to judge this week with so many runners up but Captain Hugo annoints himself with the dubious honour. Dropped catches and missed chances were in fashion but the boys in black pulled it together in the final partnership holding them to -6.
The good news is the Fathers now have the opportunity to mop up the bottom of the B-Grade Ladder and take out the consolation premiership. A couple of big wins against Brewskies and Yallops in the coming weeks will mean an all A-Grade pre-season next year at the NICC.
A NICC spokesman advised last night that a hostile take over by the Tradies Club was successfully rebuked. The NICC instead have strategically aligned themselves with the Cash Flush Walmart. This means business as usual next year for the NICC except that box prices will be up 15% and staff wages will be cut down to just below the minimum wage.
The Fathers really let rip in the carpark after the match and there was much rejoicing banter and fun poking and patting on the back and posing for photographs and signing autographs and releasing the book, signing a movie deal, launching the website and listing on the stock exchange. And much, much more. And special thanks to Nadses Missus for the Chocolate Cake! The Fathers APPROVE!!!
See you all next week for another rip snorter against the hapless Brewskies. Don't forget to bring in your STATS Sheets.
